ONE KIND OF SERVICE

curious weed, says unique b1lletin
I recently issued by the bort company.
1t is called tumbleweed.
After attaining a certain age this
weed breaks away from its roots and
starts to roll.
Which ever way the wind blows the
tumbleweed travels, landing finally
against some obstruction where 1t
hopelessly entangles itself and remains

Often growing side by side with the
tumbleweed IL the tough and sturdy

reminds up OF two kinds of automobile
service.
The first is the indefinite. haphaz-

changes its direction, follows the way
OF least resistance and drives away
business.
The second is the definite. concrete.
permanent kind-the kind that "stays
put" wins regard and keeps custo-
ners.
Uppermost in the mind of every car
owner is the subject of service. And
usually he is not an unreasonable man
he is willing to pay but he wants in

BY SERVICE SCHOOL

During the first year of its existence,

January /. 1918 by the Ford Motor
Company, graduated more than 1000
service men who came to Detroit from
Ford dealers in various parts of the
United States to learn the proper and
most efficient way to repair Ford
cars II is the intention of the COM
pany to eventually have every service
man and mechanic employed by au-
thorized Ford dealers come to Detroit
to take the course.
Appointments are made through the
Ford branches one of which sends five
delegates each day. The time occu-
pied il one month and it is divided
between theory and practice. The
students are paid by the Ford comp
any for their time-a part of which is
spent doing acutal work on cars in the
factory, In the present class are 120
students, and every state is represent
ed.
The expenditure of $150,000 which
was the cost of beginning this course,
is looked upon by company officials
as IA good investment because 1t will
help to give standard service to car
owners.
