George Howard, eastern sales manager
| for the Semco Rubber Company, Is spend.
| ing the Christmas holidays in Wash.
| ington. George was formerly in the tirt
| business in Washington.
The automobile business has been o.
such rapid growth that it has only beer
| within the past two years that 1t has g
| chance to take a breathing spell Ions
enough to find itself. This breathing spell
has not been because of any inability
of the dealers to dispense of cars, fol
one and all they have been sold UP In
advance, but rather because due to con
| gested freight conditions as well as in
ability Of the factories to build carr
fast enough. 1t is due to this that one
finds many innovations in the way o
handling service, customers and custom
| ers' accounts installed during this period
| The business was something entirely new
and it was a case of try and make use
of what had proved successful in many
other lines. This did not always prove
| out, and then it was that the factories
| stepped in and offered help. From all
| corners of the country they had gath
cred the experience of various dealers
| compiled them and then took the bes
| from each and worked into one system
This they offered to their dealers anG
| the ideas have been adopted by most
! all in so far as they suited local condi
| tions. When they did not the dealer ha:
taken what would be Of service to hin
and used that much of it. The rest hs
worked out for himself.
