AUTO APPRAISER
IMPORTANT POST

Nearly all the prominent automobile
establishments in this city have recog-
nized the advisability of divorcing the
secondhand or used car department
from that dealing with new cars. It
has been a gradual development until
today very few dealers maintain a used
car department even in the same build
ing that houses their new stock. This
has resulted in recent months in a
growth in the industry that now is
quite marked.
The dealer regards the used car as
models changing as new improvements
are added the public recognizes the
tendency and demands only the latest
The evolution has resulted in the trade
in and determining values Of cars that
have been in use before requires the
exercise OF keen judgment and discern
ment
What Will you allow me on my old
carr is the question OF the day when
new sales are being made. If the car
happens to be one that the concern sold
originally, there can be no evasion. 4
positive value has to be fixed, as a firm
could not afford to refuse one of its
own cars. A price has TO be set and in
doing so the original cost, usage, condi.
ton and cost of the probable purchase
all have to be considered.
The situation has resulted in the de-
velOpment Of an efficient class OF sales
men, known as appraisers. They have
to know what the car in question is
worth and what it can be sold for
before il can be accepted in trade.

ENERGY PUT BOY WONDER
AMONG STAR Statesmen

Time was, when Paul Smith, now
vice president of the Chalmers selling
division, and at present supervising a
series of Chalmers sales conventions in
the south and southwest, was referred
to as the Boy Wonder by the big
men in the motor industry.
Today, with the breadth of experience
gained by added years Of marketing
motor cars, he is at the sales helm of a
far larger automobile corporation, and
is hitting the bulls-eye for IL months
in every year.
Back in 1912. Paul Smith staged a
series of rapid-fire conventions for the
old L. NJ Z. company, that still stand
as red letter days on the calendars Of
some hundreds OF American dealers.
For II consecutive weeks special train
loads Of dealers and newspapermen-
p in all-pOured into Detroit from all
sections Of the United States and
Canada Smith, then one of the young
est sales managers in the business,
presided at every function held during
good twO-thirds of the dealer pOpula-
ton of America. When the II weeks
period was ended, the peppery sales
manager had sold the entire output of
Lis company for whole year in ad-
vance.
That Paul Smith still possesses. the
punch is shown by the record Of
Chalmers sales since his Joining the
company six months ago. In six months
the sales have exceeded those of the
same period last year, by 100 percent
In December 1915, Chalmers sales were
eight times as great as for December
1914 January sales were IL times
larger than those of year previoas.
Which is considerable record when one
considers the fierce competition that
exists i'm the automobile industry at
tho present time.

hard to give a car true test When
the motor is new and stiff, but I am
certainly pleased with the wonderful
showing that the new cars have made

doing difficult stunts with the Haynes
