Gustav Schuman States New
Policy Will Be Adopted By i
Schuman Carriage Co.

Service is playing a great part in
the success of the automobile business
on the coast, said Gustave Schuman,
president of the Schuman Carriage
Company, who has recently returned
from a business trip to the mainland.
Automobile dealers are emphasiz-
ing the fact that they will give certain
service to purchasers. In the past
when purchaser ASKED about buying
car the dealer would say that he
would give good service. The custom
er did not know how much or what
kind. This was strictly up to the
dealer.
Some people were satisfied with
this arrangement, but others were not,
and it rested with the individuality of
the dealer. Some were liberal, while
Others were close. The new system
to be adopted by our company will
tell the purchaser exactly how many
hours of service they will obtain. This
will be marked on the card and cou-
pom so that the buyer will know just
