1t was stated definitely by immi-

Hard To Get
Motor Cars To
Meet Demand

When the first class business man.
who Is a merchant, finds that one
item OF his merchandise Is falling
him, that he cannot get a stock OF one
particular thing he sells, he does not
sit back and commiserate with him
self on his bad luck. Instead, he goes
out and pushes some other article Of
merchandise.
That is what the motor car dealer
must do in 1920. II Is almost certain
that he cannot get enough new cars
TO meet his demand. The agreement
on that subject is almost unanimous.
he must keep his curve Of profits up
by selling another article And the
best article for the automobile mer-
chant to sell is one Of whose output
he himself is in complete control

Shortages Of cars may come, short
ages OF trucks may come. shortage OF
tractors may come, but there can
never be a shortage Of service for the
automobile dealer. The supply Of serv-
ice is limited only by the dealer who
offers Il for sale He can produce as
much service as he wants.
This Is the year to push service de-
partments- When the summer draws
to an end and the shortage Of cars
becomes more and more acute, the
man who has built up a service de-
partment to carry the load OF his ex-
penses and pay him a profit into the
bargain will be the wise auto man
