able change both in the appearance and
easy selling qualities OF second hand
automobiles, according 60 one OF
Akron's leading dealers In used cars.
"A hundred dollars worth Of new tires
will enhance the selling value Of the
dealer while quality OF the car itself
Is obviously the main point Of Interest
In connection with the purchase OF a
used automobile, unsatisfactory APP
psarance will frequently overshadow
the merits Of the motor,

clean-loeking and popular standard
make OF car on which we're four new
tires. AS q matter Of fact Il had only
been run about 5000 miles, but II had
been badly misused. There we're many
scratches on the. body, the tenders were
banged UP and the tires looked fright.
1T took the best part OF couple Of
days to fix the body, straighten out the
Tenders, etc. After Which had a good,
locking car, except for the worn tires
that indicated much longer mileage
than the car bad actually run, Tires,
you knew, tell mileage history much
more eenvincingly than speedometefs
because speedometers can be changed
Consequently, Il became a question
OF new tires, and ! put on the M!llers
that are on there new. Experience has
taught me that even more care Should
be taken in the tire equipment 81
second hand cars than In the equipment
Of brand new automobiles. In the case
Of used car, the tire equipment be-
comes much more Of selling point
than It is with q car direct from the
factory In fact, / equip most OF ms
second hand cars with Millers believ-
Ing that the geared to- tlleTFoa tread
and the uniform mileage advantage oil
those tires adds real value to any car
"a new one or second hand. Also, the
attractive appearance of the Millei
tire, In my mind, Is an exceptionally
good selling point,
However, taking II all In all, a new
set OF tires and little cleaning up o.
the car itself will accomplish The same
results for the old worn car, that &

shoes will DO for the man with an old

AUTO SCHOOL VALUED
BY BUICK COMPANY

Practically everybody today Is in
terested IN motor cars, but nowhere
Is the interest greater than among the
rising gereration-~A fact that speaks

motor car and its application TO every.

pany, Of Flint, Mich Ssmali boys can
name the various makes of cars as they
PASS on the street, surprising. num-
Der Of them can drive q car with con-
siderable credit and nearly all OF them
are keen to explore the mysteries OF
the forces and principles that make
the wheels go round
This condition lie simply reflection
of the interest in motor cars displayed
BY their elders. And as a result we
find automobile schools for students Of
all ages in all sections Of the country.
Some OF them are included in certain
courses In high schools and COLLEGES,
and others are privately operated en-
teFpfises.
Just as there are good and poor motor
cars 80 there are good and poor auto
mobile schools, But for the most part
they are good, and the instruction In
the good schools fellows logically about
the same steps as are followed In a
motor car factory where the cars are
built rather than assembled from pur-
chased parts,
In the Buick factory we build our
own units--motors, radiators, axies and
30 on. And before the car Is finished
and ready to run, every operation has
been performed on every part and
checked to see that II Is right before
the next step is taken 80 with a
good automobile school, instead OF
starting the course BY teaching the
students hoy to drive, that Is the last
thing covered, II indeed It is covered
ut all,
For the main thing Is TO get the
principles thoroughly clear TO the stu
dents, and to make them understand
why certain things happen, rather than
to demonstrate that they do happen.
Anybody can learn to drive In few
hours, because Il Is comparatively
simple thing to do, But to get an ac-
curats knowledge Of motor car design
and construction that will enable the
student to think and talk correctly
about motor cars, and to knew good OF
bad design when he sees II, the work
must be constructive and thorough and
II must start al fhe beginning.
