READY SERVICE FOR
 LIBERTY OWNERS
This Company Helps Deal CTS to Keep Owners AL
 ways Satisfied

Any dealer can sell a car. but good performance alone will keep it sold. Loss of the use of his car Is prompt cause of dissatisfaction. but On the other hand, ready correction of his troubles is sure way to keep an owner smiling.
 Their service policy shows that this fact is no more appreciated by any motor car manufacturer than the IAber- >fy Motor Car company of Detroit
 They recognize that while 1t is neceS- sary that dealers give good service to owners, it is also vital that dealers be given good service by the factory so that their service to owners may be the very best. And knowing this. tho company has brought it's service or 2anization up to a standard that chal- lenges criticism and affords little cx- cuse for an owner being without the use of his car for longer por1od than can be avoided
 Liberty factory service work has been thoroughly systematized. A re- markable method of checking makes 1t almost impossible to send wrong parts or an incorrect quantity. Stocks are so arranged that orders may be filled in the very least possible time. In almost every case parts are shipped within 2a hours after receipt or the order.
 Thus the dealers are made able to keep their owners car In commission almost without Interruption
 Liberty cars are known for their singular freedom from the common me chanical trouble and annoya nee, but this perfected service makes their own CTS still less liable to suffer the incon- venience of doing without their cars for any length of time.
