themseIfs and IL was like 2 hard
noker game between 2 card sharks
That both OF them knew d-m well
when the other was slipping one OF OF
the bottom. This time however the
dealers will have somebody to talk
Al that iss't so criticize though IL 10
hound 10 take better salesmanships 10
sell a car than ever before, as very
few OF the prospects will come to the
show blear eyed and In liquid mood
Automobile men say that they VIII
he many inoYations models exhibited
and vile none OF them has took me into
their conhdents in regards To detail
OF same, still person can all most
figure out few OF the probable
noyeItys II you set down and give IL
a little thought. In the LIST. place
look for the elimination OF safety
Locks and other so called protection
va thiefs witch use to be considered
a necessity, but under prohibition Its
inst a pure waist, as how Is anybody
going 10 steal your car " they's no
pIacc for you TO stop and get out
OF IL? " l.,
Amidst the other things that IL
Iibel to be eliminated Is the bumper
and the emergency brake, as under
the 18th. amendment they won't be
no emergencies or nothing TO bump
INTO Also chains will doubtless be
done away with as who Is going TO
go driyeinE in storm cold sober
and even il you did they's no chance
to slip you might say.
The money formally waisted by
manufacturers in features like these
will now be spent In added comforts
without no added cost to the con-
sumer. For instants, instead or
elaborate system OF locks the better
class cars will now be equipped WIN
a elaborate locker system, and so on
down the line.
Knows what 10 Expect
Personally vile ] expect TO tend
at least | OF tho shows ! have no
tension OF buying a new machine at
this time as all ready have the
fastest car in the world, the speed
ometer on il reading miles per mr.
even vile you're standing still. But
nerhans they's a few OF my readers
,bat tends to buy cars at this time
and hasn't had no experience along
those lines so maybe few Words OF
advice will not come a miss from
one who has lernt their lesson In the
great school OF IRE l..
1 II possible buy a car that ~
bright red and have the monogram
y u. painted on u and people VII,
think you are the fire department anu
get the hell out OF your way.
II YOU have children buy car
,b,t won't start without you crank
a. ~ vile we was up In Michigan
I summer we drove up In front OF
the cottage and went In, leaving
hrat pIaying in the car and when We
come out again the car had moved
down in front OF l OF the neighbors
and was facing X ways OF the road
like Hobson's Merrimac that blocked
the Spanish traffic at Santiago or
wherever II was. .,
BUY a car that hasn't got no oil
pressure gage on the dash board rs
il will drive you nearly crazy won
dcrlng what 1T means.
4. If you are going to drive IL your
self be sure and set in the drivers seat
before hand. For instants they was
a well known standard car for sale
out in old Chi last summer that had
been drove a couple Of 100 miles ana
was a big bargain and l was going
TO buy il on the hoof but ] finely de-
cided 70 set in It first and come 10
find out when my # was on the &C
celerator my knee was down my
throat and made kind OF thlrd
adenoid-
S: Don't pay no tension to what
the different salesmans tell you ABOUT
how their marvellous motor makes
other motors look like a sucker and
their engines use less miles per gal
OF gas and so 4th. Cars is just like
people. They are good and pure when
