hise centers such IS Detfo.:, Atlanta,

This idea of placing all used cars
on an exchange for sale at rock bot
tom market prices is not by any means
new, but has proven successful in many
other locations.
| The Automotive Dealers Associa-
ton has realized for long time that
to properly protect the purchaser of

carefully examined, tested. adjusted,
and in some cases entirely rebuilt
from engine to differential, and under
prevailing crowded conditions III the
service shops Of our city, is practical
ly impossible to give the attention to
used cars which they property de-
serve
With the idea then of devoting ex-
.clusively all the energies of an organ
ization composed of experienced auto
motive engineers aimed at the COM
plete mechanical overhaul, and re-
Dailding of all -.trade-ins'' there has
been organized the Sumter Used Car
Exchange which will have its official
opening Saturday morning.
The purpose Of the Exchange is
primarily to protect the purchaser of
a. used car by assuring him that when
he buys a ear from the Exchange he
is getting an automobile which in
many respects is more suitable for his
purpose than brand new car fresh
from the factory, when the question Of
delivery is taken into consideration.

of car which ne may be especially in
terested in For instance, if someone
particularly desires a sedan for his
familys use and he cannot obtain a
new car Immediately, his natural
course would be to acquaint the Ex-
change with his predicament and it is
highly probable that the car he wants
can be obtained from the result of a
trade IN. y" And when this car has
been put through the rigid inspection
and repair system and has been found
o.. K. by the Exchange. the purchas-
er will be assured Of satisfaction,
which will reflect in repeat orders

Will shortly place the Exchange with

Good news spreads quickly and in
a short time people not only in the
city, but III the county and neighbor-
ing parts Of the State will come to

to the dealers. since it will be the pol
