CAR BUILDERS
IDEA SERVICE
Modern Maker Not Content
To Turn Car Loose at
Factory.

1T was not so many years ago
that the manufactured of an auto
mobile was content to. call the job
done when the car left the fac
tory" says Z. T. Strong. general
sales manager of the Buick Motor
Company. Except for accommo-
dating owners with repair parts,
the builders had little to do with
the car as 1t serves its many miles.
That was the idea of service in
the early days of automobile his
tory.
But now the manufacturers con-
ception of service Is wholly diff
ferent. The designing and building
of quality motor car Is of nrst
consideration. and hardly less i'm
portant Is the Offering of a service
that will make for complete owner
satisfaction, or rather the complete
utilization of the cars comfort,
power and economy. In other words.
the automobile builder wants the
owner to get the most out of his
purchase.
"This willingness on the part of
dealers is the expression of their
cooperation in helping the owner
get the most out of his motor car
Further cooperation between deal
er and maker is evidenced in the
way suggestions from the mail Of
flee are followed by the service man
ayers in all sections of the United
States.
when dealer and maker are
working together for the mutual
benefit of the owner and themselves,
it is quite the logical thing to see
an owner join forces with them
for the advantages he will receive"

WANTS
TRUCKS-KISSEL
Head Of Auto Company
y Explains Change from
Pleasure Cars.

"a year ago the cry from the
public as well as dealers was. ship
us more passenger cars This cry
is now changed to not only ship us
more passenger cars but send us
more trucks" says G. A. kissel
president OF the Kissel Motor Car
Company.
''One of the big reasons for the
present increased demand OF trucks
is that of the acute shortage of
freight cars on the country's rail-
road systems. 1t Is understood that
the railways executives ptace the
immediate needs at 100000 cars and
/ is about all that the car plants of
the country can turn out this year.
Il understand it is predicted there
/ is a shortage of from 100000 to
100000 cars. The result of this is
now being felt in this period Of big
traffic. Industrial operations are
cause of the lack of railroad equip
ment.
Again the railroad freight traf-
i, fic reached 200, 600 900, 900 ton-miles
In 1906. 1t rose to 100000. 10000 In
1913. while last year it crossed the
400 1000. 600. 900 mark
Figures as these, taken from in
ldisputable facts, prove without a
doubt that II will be some time, per-
| haps several years, before the rail-
roads have brought their equipment
up to that point of efficiency that
will absorb any appreciable amount
of the incIeased traffic requirements
of the country, and until that time
1t will be up to the motor truck to
keep the goods moving. which means
keeping production and prosperity
up to high water mark"

The fact that d. Mccall White.
creator of the Cadillac eight and of
the English Napier and Daimler,
designed the Lafayette motor re-
lieves the purchaser of the neces-
sity of further investigation or in
Quiry and assures him the best
power plant that his money will
buy"
And although complete mechani-
cally, the refined beauty of the La
Fayette has a winning appeal to the
prospective purchaser who demands
that his car be more than equal in
appearance to any vehicle on the
drives. Such combination of me-
chanical worth and beauty of design
has not been produced until now.
Personally, 1 am glad to realize
that the New Yorker, regardless of
how wealthy he may be. has arrived
at the point where he demands and
must be given, motor car in which
beauty is more than body Deep
The correctness of Porter's analy-
sis is shown by the fact that a great
number of New York's most exact
ing and experienced motorists al
ready have placed their orders for
new LaFayettes. This despite the
fact that deposits have been re-
quired before the price has been
stated.

BUYERS INSIST

WAR BRINGS CHANGE
Beauty, Not Construction,
Has Been Gothamites'
Prime Consideration.
WAR BRINGS CHANGE

The occasional visitor to New
York. deeply impressed by the nov-
city and beauty of the many motor
cars on Gotham drives. has carried
back to the hinterland an incorrect
opinion of the Fasteners purchas-
ing wisdom. And this thought has
grown until today it Is the general
belief west of the Alleghenies that
New Workers will rush to buy any
thing on four wheels. provided the
body lines carry that rich, luxurious
beauty characteristic of the more
costly European models.
Disproyes Belief of Many.
Hugh T. Porter. New York dis
tributor of the new Lafayette mo-
tor car of Indianapolis and a vet
Gran automobile man of the Eastern
metropolis, offers evidence from his
experiences TO prove that the aver
age New York buyer is more exact
ing in his purchase than many of
those who have criticised the East.
Although Porter confirms the fact
that New Workers demand the best
and most beautiful in body con-
struction and the latest in styles.
his statement indicates that under
the surface the New York buyer is
insistent on mechanical perfection
in motor and chassis.
T had felt prior to this years
shows, that New York buyers par
ticulafly bought on appearance"
says Porter. But / was reassured
and thoroughly awakened to the
fact that they are basing their
purchases on much more common
sense principles. The New York
woman, especially. has been wrong
ed by the statement that all she
seeks in a car is beauty. Why, be-
fore the war il was simply a joke
TO try to talk mechanics to the
average feminine buyer. Today.
because many of them drove cars
engaged in relief work or because
they were left without a man to
hold the wheel during the war, they
are very able to participate in a
discussion on the mechanical points
of an automobile, While in for
mer years the sale of a car was
jeopardized if you endeavored to
lay stress u0Dn mechanical per-
formance, today no buyer fails to
acquire as much information as
possible on this subject"
Glad of Change.
For that reason and because the

900, 900 Tires Annually
To Be Used by Autoists

Tire manufacturers are looking
forward to an unprecedented de-
mand for tires. The number that
will be wanted annually is placed
at So.O00,000 tires. for pleasure ve-
hicles and motor trucks. The out
put at present for the United States
is about 45,600,000.
Based upon figures of automobile
makers that during the present year,
100000 pleasure cars and between
350,000 and 100000 auto trucks will
be produced. the experts estimate at
least 57,000,O00 tires will be required
for 1920.
