Roamer Quality
PleaseS Dealers

Fred r. wetmore, veteran automobile
man. associated with the Locomobile Com
pany for the last ten years, has just
opened general sales agency Of his own
at No SIS Barrone street. New Orleans.
He intends to operate both in the heavy
and light car field, and has selected the
Locomobile and the Roamer. The dis
tributer's contract for the Roamer was
signed shortly before his departure for
New Orleans.
Mr. wetmore is one OF the best known
figures OF motordom, having served with
the Locomobile organization in San Fran
cisco, Kansas City and Chicago Follow
ing his departure from the Locomobile
company. he arrived at Kalamazoo, Mich,
to inspect l.. Roamer factory. thence to
New Orleans TO superintend the opening
OF the new agency.
In a letter to A. G. Barley, president Of
the Roamer organization, Mr. Wetmore
commented on the prevalent tendency of
American manufacturers to sacrifice in
dividuality to quantity production and
over standardization.
1.-THE usual procedure OF the rnanufac-
turer is to produce the car that win sell
the best, in enormous quantities, so as TO
make as much money as possible. The
accounts for the rapid and radical changes
in design for which the automobile in
dustry is noted, and it was indeed O. pleas
ure for me to follow the policy adopted
by you Of limited production. an idea that
you believe to be fundamentally right and
then to perfect that idea through refine
ments instead of radical changes.
Il have for many months admired the
smart and snappy appearance OF the
Roamer car, but how little did I realize
your complete organization, the concrete
foundation Of the factory or the careful
inspection OF your product while in the
course OF construction. Your color schemes
a re, in my opinion. perfect. and the careful
attention that your employees pay to the
smallest details that are SO appreciated
by the owner and so essential in the mar
keting OF any factory's product will auto
matcaily make and herald the Roamer
car as an absolute leader in the field OF
many"

of design the Jones Six Is particularly
suited to the fastidious New York buyer.
Careful attention to each detail and re-
finement has accomplished really beau
tiful and harmonious car for the particu-
lar person. Fine examples of this PAINS
taking care in details are the deep seated
cushions of Spanish leather and the un-
usual body finish-over twenty-five coats
of paint hand rubbed. II real value means

taneous favorite here in the East"

Prosperity Will
Continue for 1920

''To say that business Is good through
out the country is but mild statement
OF the fact; in the face of unusual con-
ditions the country never was more pros
porous and the outlook from the stand
point of the automobile manufacturer or
merchant is such that increased produc-
ton apparently is the only important prob
lem which we will have to confront dur
ing the 1920 selling season." says Charles
w. Nash, president Of the Nash Motors
Company.
I'm fact" says Mr. Nash, "a critical
survey of the situation based on my own
first hand information and reports coming
to me from our representatives in all
sections Of the country indicates that
the market for motor cars never was
better.
This is significant. It is straw which
shows palmer. perhaps. than anything
else which way the wind is blowing. 1t is
unmistakable evidence that the country
as a whole is in a wonderful period OF
prosperity and that this unprecedented era
of good times will continue during the
coming selling season.
Generally speaking. the only reason any
one does not own car is because he
hasn't yet reached that point where he
can afford the purchase. This. OF course.
is obvious, but the point is that there are
few persons who would not own a motor
car of some sort If they could afford it.
ITO me 1t naturally follows that, with
this universal desire to possess, the in
creased sale Of motor cars is due solely to
the increased ability OF the average person
to buy. In other words, that the automo-
bile market this season is in such a won
derful condition is due to the fact that the
average man this year is possessed of
more money than he ever has possessed in
the entire history of the country.
And I have said that every sign points
clearly to a continuance Of this prosperity.
Even the business man who is not inclined
to optimism is wearing a broad smile these
days and is talking about conditions this
year in a vein that few years ago would
have caused him to be stamped as a vision
ary and a dreamer.
But actual conditions determnable by a
careful and not tooe enthusiastic survey
OF the factors entering into the economic
condition of the country bring this current
optimism into the realms of sound reason
Let me pick at random a few of these
factors. Europeans have keener appre-
citation of the merit of American products
and of American processes Of manufacture
than ever before. This was bound to fol-
low in the wake of that unbending stream
of American merchandise and supplies
which has flowed into British and Con-
tinental seapOrtS since 1914

Record Company
RebuildS Old Tires,
Sells on Guarantee

During the last two or three years many
panies for the purpose of rebuilding or
salvaging automobile tires. Some Of these
attempts have ended in failure and some
have achieved small measure Of success
The failures have been recorded prma rily
because of poor business methods, as there
is absolutely no reason why tires cannot
be rebuilt with the same measure of sue
cess as footwear can be rebuilt.
In most cases these failures have been
due to the mistaken policy of selling State
rights to use rebuilding machines instead
OF the company itself doing the rebuilding
and appointing agents throughout the
country to sell the product. 1t may easily
be seen how the practice of leaving the re-
building process in the hands of dealers
in different parts of the country would
work out to the disadvantage Of the parent
company. Anxious to cash in on his State
rights and without the benefits Of expert
workmanship dealers, have been led into
the practice of accepting for rebuilding
purposes tires too for gone to admit of a
repair that would permit Of guarantee to
the customer
The Record Tire Company. OF New York
claims to be able to conduct business sc
that it will be profitable to itself and to
those who buy its rebuilt tires.
I'm the first place, we do not sell State
rights says an officer OF the company
"All tires that are rebuilt are handled in its
own factories, by it's own expert workmen
The company guarantees the tires 1t puts

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The execu-

Authoritative forecasts Of the committee
action were:

methods that have grown up IN carry

The system is so unbusinesslike, he
added, that any small business would go
into bankruptcy within Il few years If
conducted along similar lines.
In speaking of duplication of efforts
he said war covers both the army and
navy and they should have one head for
both-one responsible head for the war
department, with the navy included in
the war department.
He spoke Of Implications in efforts in
the recent war, such as bidding against

The matter Of general debate in con-

pointed out by him as the cause of much
