WORTHWHILE SAYINGS

Albuquerque morning journal., 1919-03-02

their own minds they imagine that
the motor car dealer is willing to do
business their way and that anything
which they say will be agreed to. In
this they are wrong. Two or three
years ago they might have had some
thing to base their contentious on,
but this is 1919, the year after the
motor car industry got its second
wind.
Plans which for the better SYSTEM
ati2ing of the business had been in
contemplation for several years, but
which, due to the enormous advance
ments of the industry. We're no soon
er prepared than they were outgrown
have had an opportunity TO be deyel-
oped and put into effect during the
selling, due to war conditions, threat
ened to be a thing fthe past for
time.
The dealers took advantage of this
hull to perfect ideas they had in mind
for year or more, and today the
automobile industry is as a result
on a sounder business basis than ever
before.
1t has caught up with itself and
viii continue from now on to develop
equally along all lines. Dealers today
are in position where resorting too
freak methods of marketing their
goods are no longer recognized as
legitimate.

WHERE DO YOU TAKE
YOUR FORD MACHINE?

IT is to the interest of Ford Motor
company and their dealers that Ford
cars operate properly and economi-
caly.
That the Ford car may continue to
give the same satisfactory service,
after abuse and hard use, the Ford
Motor company manufacture Ford
parts of the same durable quality as is
put In new cars for the purpose of
replacing, when necessary, the parts
of Ford cars.
All Ford dealers are required to car
ry stock of genuine Ford parts and
maintain service station where Ford
owners can get parts for replacement
and repairing done by trained and ex-
pert repairmen on Ford cars.
1t is greatly to the interest of Ford
car owners, that Ford cars operate
properly and economically, but many
times owners thoughtlessly take their
car for repairs where the workme1
are not interested in its economical!
and successful operation: where they
do not have and replace worn or
broken parts with genuine Ford parts
but with "Just-as good AS and imi-
tation Ford parts (some of which areI
good limitations, others very poor |
which do not stand up and bring un-
just condemnation on the Ford car, |
besides causing trouble, Inconvenience
and further expense to the owner.

ESSEX CAR WILL
ATTRACT ATTENTION
AS SOMETHING NEW

r, b. Elkins, distributor received
the first model of the new Essex car
the other day, and is busy explaining
the good points of the new car to
callers at the sales room. COS West
Central avenue.
A great deal of interest has been
shown in this car, for the factory
producing it is backed by the engi-
neers and designers of the Hudson
factory.
The balanced crank shaft which has
made the Hudson Super-Six one of
Americas most popular cars. is used
in the r-Cylinder Essex motor. Re-
markable speed and wonderful econo-
my records have been made with the
Essex and according to reports from
the Detroit factory an Essex will make
rs miles an hour with ease.
The general design of the Hudson
has been followed in the Eessex and
the beveled-edge stream line body will
be featured The Essex is a powerful
but light four cylinder car and is con-
structed of quolity materials through
out.
With the ESSEX it is possible to
make an average in excess of twenty
miles to the gallon of gasoline and
10000 miles for set of tires is a
common occurrence. according to Mr.
Elkns. The Essex factory has been
running test cars for over a year and
the automobile engineers are enthusi-
astic, over the new car.
Regular shipments will not be re-
ceived from the Essex factory for a

MAIL CARRIERS
KNOW TIRE VALUE

Chiselled across the front of the
handsome new postoffice building in
New York City are these words, which
seem destined to become the slogan
of the letter carriers of the country,
Neither snow nor rain, nor heat nor
gloom of night stays these couriers in
the swift completion of their appoint
ed rounds"
1t is because of his determination
to make his rounds in all kinds of
weather and to be on time that tire
manufacturers have learned that one
of the hardest men to please is the
rural mail carrier. These men, who
plod along day after day in their
little cars over country roads. deiv-
ering mail in outlying sections, want
tire that will stand up under all
conditions.
The mail carriers on the rural free
routes of the country are among the
best customers of the United States
Tire company From no other class
of tire users does the company re-
ceive stronger endorsement for its
product.

THE AUTO TRADE

SOUND FOOTING
Has Passed the Stage of In
fancy When It Was a Gam
bic and Now the Third Lafg-
est Industry,

There are still people who imagine
that the motor car industry, though
the third largest in the United States,
has not passed beyond the stage
where it is game" or in other
words, a gamble, and has reached the
dignity of a legitimate business. They
still believe that it is quite the thing
to go in and haggle with the legiti-
mate automobile business man about
the advertised price of his car and
try to get him to either cut the
amount asked for the machine or
make concessions in extra tires,
bumper, spotlight or the like.
They even waste time to argue the
advantage from an advertising point
of view to have them driving a car
of that make.
There was time when such things

FINE POINTS IN
MOTOR DRIVING
ADD To COMFORT
Simple Adjustment of Gear
Lever When COaSting Saves
Wear on Machine and Lots
Of trouble,

There are few points about the
operation of the motor car which are
not generally known by any except
the most weli-informed drivers saws
Motor Age They are even unknown
to many drivers who may be called ex-
perts through their long familiarity
with the handling of the car. A
knowledge of some of these finer
points in the operation of the car will
add to the enjoyment of driving and
give the driver greater confidence in
his own ability. A few of these points
often disregarded by drivers are men
toned here with the knowledge that
tney viii surely help the inexper-
fenced and may prove interesting to
the veteran.
When coasting down a long hill. il
is decided advantage to throw the
gear lever into neutral position, thus
allowing the cah to coast without
turning the engine over. The same
result can be obtained by holding the
clutch out, but this imposes very un-
desirable wear upon the clutch throw
out, whether it be rollers, ball bear
ings or fabricated friction surfaces.
The absolute Quietness of the car when
running with the transmission thus

again at the bottom of the hill, do not
throw the clutch out before shifting
the control lever into high speed, but
accelerate the engine, keeping
the foot off the clutch pedal, and gem

notch. If an attempt is made to re-
engage the high speed by throwing
out the clutch, a clashing of gears will
