CAR NEARLY THREE
YEARS OLD SELLS
BEYOND FIRST PRICE

The resale price is the unanswer-
able argument as to the status of a
car in the public mind" said John
A. Butler, president of the Butler
Motor Car company, Kansas City au-
tomobile dealers. ain that connection
| can give YOU an interesting Illus
tration, which shows typically how
easy il is to move a certain make of
car after two or three years service.
"In February 1915, we showed our
original demonstration, No. 101, to
three thousand people at our opening.
The car was then sold, and in Decem-
Der of the same year was resold to the
United States Stock Food company,
I'm January this company bought
new car, and we again took possession
of No. 101 in trade, For some months
we used this car to demonstrate the
remarkable durability of the finish
We cleaned up the car, reprinted the
wheels, put on new tenders and actu-
ally very few people knew it was a
used car until we called their atten-
ton to the fact.

the test, it was hauled into the coun-

and was driven about one and one

way into, the city without making a
single stop. and thus America had its
first successful motor car.
