USED CAR ENJOYS
NEW POPULARITY

One Of the noticeable effects Of pres
ent high material and labor costs Il
the increased demand on the part OF
the public for high grade used auto
mobiles. These cars, which always
have been popular with buyers who
based their demands chiefly on ser.
vice ability, are now particularly De.
sirable because they are practically the
only motor vehicles unaffected by the
general rise In prices.
Built before the manufacturing SIT
uation became acute, these automo-
biles were constructed of good mater
ials and were marketed at the low
water mark in American automobile
prices. II they were turned out today
their retail prices would have to be
at least twenty per cent higher than
they were, and yet their second hand
values are based on percentage de-
probation from their original prices.
L. e. Roskam. president. of the Ros-
kam-Scott company, No. 1905 Broad

cars in New York city, is authority
FOR the statement that sales OF used
cars of good makes are nearly twice
as great as they were a lear ago.
The demand for used cars includes
every make of car of established rep
utation. The experienced motorist
knows that good cars that have been
used carefully for even as much as
four or five years have many thou
sands of miles of service left in them,
while those that are one or two years
old often will outlast lower priced
cars of 1917 manufacture. The chief
point against the used car in the ear
~ days of the industry was the fact
that body designs went out of STYLE
