Method For Service
Charges Is Success

There are few details in connec-
ton with the handling of an i'm
mense volume of automobile busi-
ness that present more intricate
problems than does the service
question. John N. Willys, head of
WHY'S Overland, Inc, believes, how
ever. that his problem is solved by
the adoption of such a service sys-
tenn as the one employed at the
New York branch of Willys-Over-
land.
The Overland policy, that has
proved so successful, is to inform
the customer in advance as to the
charges he will be called upon to
pay for repairs, irrespective of
whether those repairs are of easy
remedy or of long drawn out pro-
cess. In other words, the protection
of the customers interests begins
when the ailing car is driven into
station.
i AS the customer takes his car into
the service station, a. foreman is on
hand whose duty it is to immedi-
ately get all available information
concerning what the trouble is.
| Should the repair be of trivial ma
ture, it is made at once, frequently
without charge for workmanship.
A charge is made, quite naturally,
! for materials used.
In case more extensive repairs
are desired, but of such a nature
that it will be unnecessary to leave
! the car for several hours, a quick
order blank is issued which calls for
| details concerning the work to be
done, the time of the cars entrance
into the station and the amount of
| the charges. While the workmen
are busy on the car. the customer is
made comfortable in the waiting
room which contains newspapers,
magazines and so on.
| However, this system shows to
! particular advantage, it is pointed
out, when extended repair work is
done. Formerly, the customer took
his chances on the price that would
be charged. He left the car and
| hoped for the best.
| Under the Overland system, an
! immediate and careful examination
! of the car is made, while an expert
| passes judgment as to what will be
! required, in the way of materials
and workmanship, to put it in order
! again. AS each needed repair is dis
! covered, 1t is entered on a contract
! and opposite the entry is set the
amount that will be charged for the
various operations.
! The cost of materials is obviously
fact generally known in advance.
This appraisal, which can be ac-
complished in from ten to thirty
minutes, does away with all the old
uncertainties. The customer knows
what he will be expected to pay and
what charges will be for.
! 1t occasionally happens, of course.
that during the actual process of re-
pairs. unforeseen trouble will de-
i velop. When this happens, the Gus
toner is communicated with and
asked If extra expense will be sat
isfactory
This system of service charges,
Mr.. Willys declares, has eliminated
ninety per cent. of the difficulties at
tendant upon service under the old
methods.

MOTOR CAR HA
PRIME FACTOR
In Every Field of Endeavor II
Is an Indispensable Instru-
ment of Service

(By j. d. bort, president bort
Motor Car Company.
The three commodities most es-
sential to the public welfare are
food, fuel and transportation.
One of the most important units
in the transportation system OF
America is the passenger automo-
bile. 1t not only feeds and supple
ments the steam and electric rail
ways, but reaches destinations that
1t alone can reach.
1t has freed the farmer from isola-
ton. 1t has brought him miles near
er his buying and selling markets.
The working hours that are saved
rough the ground-coverihg ability
OF his car are many.
The passenger automobile enables
men employed in cities to live in the
suburbs-not only those of large
means, but small storekeepers,
clerks and mechanics.
In the city thousands of statesmen,
contractors and solicitors, hundreds
of physicians, scores of real estate
dealers, and many other groups, rely
upon the automobile to accomplish
economics identical with those of the
typewriter and the telephone-econ-
omics that conserve time.
The war has brought many duties
to most of us. We freely and gladly
offer our services to the government
in selling bonds, doing Red Cross
and Y. NJ. G.. A. work, making
speeches, consulting and planning.
We must manage to crowd into our
and the automobile is helping us
mmeasurably to do it.

In the wake of one of the worst
January cold spells, according to the
New York Weather Bureau, in q
quarter of n century, a Chalmers
hot-spot started last night in forty
seconds, after a fifteen-hour expos
ure in singing icy cross-winds.
From 7.30 in the morning until
1880 at night stock Chalmers was
left standing in the path of . thou
sands of show visitors, in personal
charge of an expert observer, and
open to inspection by the public.
The prime object of the test was
to do everything 'in the open" un-
der the supervision of experienced
judges and in the fact of the worst
weather conditions prevailing dur
ing the week.
Although the weather was milder
than last weeks intense cold, at the
same time are average temperature
for tho fifteen-hour test was about
25 degrees below the point OF freez-
ing. With great quantities of snow
still banked III the street, the car was
surrounded by ice on the ground and
cold in the air. The Chalmers ther-
lnometers varied. one being lower
than the weather bureau and the
other one higher. The maximum
average was so degrees and the
minimum "a degrees above zero.
w. II. Trabrand, Jr., formerly Sec
retary A. A. A. contest board, now
suspended, sat in the car through
out the test and submitted a written
report to the judges committee.
At 1890 last night with the mer-
curry at 23 above the starter was
pressed down and the first explosion
was recorded in s seconds. In Az
seconds, slightly over half minute
the engine officially started and was
| running perfectly.

Cadillac Company Elects
New Manufacturing Head

John f. Guider, formerly factory
superintendent of the Pierce-Arrow
Motor Car Company, and an execu-
tive of that concern for more than
twelve years, has been elected vice
president of the Cadillac Motor Car
Company, in charge of manufactur-
ing.
Mr.. Guider. who has already as
sumed work in his new capacity at
Detroit, says: "It has always been
my policy and practice to build a
first class product and to improve 1t.
and in what l have seen at the Ca
dillac shops ] have been impressed
by the fact that this is exactly the
Cadillac policy"
He is As years old and comes
from New England family OF
manufacturers. He started to work
when eleven years old, and has had
en- unusually broad experience. His
apprenticeship as q machinist and
tool maker was with the Yale Lock
Company, now the Yale & Towne
Manufacturing Company, of Stam-
ford, Conn. Building, installing and
testing marine engines was later
pursuit. Other connections were
with the American Graphophone
Company at Bridgeport, Conn.,, and
as a mechanical expert in a New
York patent office. He also did re-
search and experimental work for
the Union Typewriter Company.
Mr.. Guider went to the Pierce
Arrow Company in 1905, and two
years later became general factory
superintendent. He remained in that
capacity until January l, when he
assumed charge of the manufacture
of Cadillac cars.
Behind the chronology of Mr.. Gui-
der's connections is an interesting
story of self development. Among
his hobbies are physics, music and
law. He is student of all three.
