AUTOMOBILE SELLING
PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE.

Back in the early days of automo-
bile selling, the old Latin motto LET
the buyer beware" would have ex-
actly expressed the conditions then
existing. The dealer knew very lit
tie about motor cars-the buyer abb
solutely nothing. A joy ride was the
main argument used in selling cars.
IL the dealer could make his car do
something that the other fellow
couldn't, he usually got the order.
But the times have changed (for the
better l am glad to say). Today 1t
would be hard to find man or
woman who doesn't know something
or other about motor cars. The aver
age school boy knows as much or
more about cars than his parents.
This education of the public in motor
cars puts a new angle to the selling
problem and l am glad to say that
automobiles have to be merchandise
the same as tooth-paste, pianos or
lawn mowers.
In the old days little or no thought
was given to the manufacture of the
car. Today, about the first thing the
prospect wants to know is, who
makes the car" The house-behind-the
produc tangle to merchandising
plays an important part in automo-
bile selling. / wish / had the elo-
quence to visualize before every Bris-
coe Dealer, the "plant behind the
Briscoe car" wish / could make it
so strong that every time Briscoe
car passed, they would think of the
mammoth plants and enormous re-
sources back of our car. Every auto
mobile dealer naturally wants to
know "who makes the car" They
want to know that the factory back
of the car has the buying power to
produce materials of the right quail
ity and in sufficient quantity
to insure adequate production; that
the factory has the organization, ma
chinery and equipment; that its en-
gineering staff is capable of furnish
ing a car to meet the present day de-
mands; and perhaps more than all
else, they want the assurance that
men of sound business judgment and
high ideals fill the executive posi-
tions of the factory.
1t is very gratifying to everyone to
note the growing respect the Briscoe
receives among the general public
and specially among automobile deal
ers. This has been brought about
partly by our 1920 model. We really
have a wonderful car-however, a
large part of this high appreciation
of Briscoe is directly attributable to
our advertising campaign which is
decidedly in advance of anything
Briscoe has ever done in the field of
advertising. The drawings are classy
the copy has a snap and punch to
it that catches and holds attention,
and its sincere tone brings conviction
to the mind of the reader that Bris-
coe undoubtedly is a meritorious
product.-By. James R. Findlator.''

BIZ q Stnn correspondrnt

WAshington. Nov. 11.---There IL a
merry war brewing here between the
National WomAn's party and the
American Legion and other veterans
organizations over the pacifst issue.
Feeling has run high ever since Mrs.
Pethick Lawrence, a London feminist
and pacifist, delivered a speech at the
headquarters of the woman's party de-
nouncing militarism and demanding
world disarmament as the first pre-
liminary OF world peace. r.
Former service men and representa-
tives Of various veterans organizations
declare they will take any steps neces-
sary to prevent repetition In the ma
tional capital or elsewhere Of speeches
containing tributes to the conscientious
objector. The veterans voiced indigna-
tion today that the national authorities
should permit meetings within a block
Of the White House and War Depart
ment at which the gospel of resistance
TO war and preparation for war under
any circumstances is preached They
admit that the protection of the prin-
ciple Of free speech may be invoked by
American citizens, but say this refuge
is not available to Mrs. Lawrence, who
holds an English passport.
The matter will most certainly be
taken up at our next meeting" said
Kenneth u. McRae. commander Of

first American Legion post organized in
the United States.
II understand the address delivered
by Mrs. Pethick Lawrence resulted In
the passage Of a resolution urging a
general amnesty for all conscientiou.

I found It to be true throughout thu
country previous to the election, and
say this, notwithstanding the fact thai
I have always been a Democrat, tha
the chief objection Of the former servic,
man to the present administration wal
its lenient treatment Of the conscientioui
objectors.

to have said thousand OF German
