Comment ON the National Auto Shows


The strength of the position taken
by the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce in basing its awards
for honor position at the National
Automobile Shows only upon actual
figures of business done reported by
each manufacturer. is readily ap-
parent.
The percentage method of deter
mining the leading automobile com
pany would be manifestly unjust to
many companies whose yearly volume
runs into many thousands of cars
like Buick which has again been
awarded this position at the shows
this year
A manufacturer who made but 500
ears last year might increase his pro-
duction to 1000 cars this yeara 100
per cent increase yet its contribu-
ton to the automobile industry as a
whole would he immeasurably less
than that of manufacturer who
built 10000 cars last year and brought
his volume of business for the follow
ing year UP to 10000 ears-an in
crease of only 30 per cent.
Percentages don't exactly lie but
they frequently are misleading.

SEVEN GOOD WAYS

For the benefit of people who want
!. helm the editor and don't know
sow we are submitting the follow
M seven good ways
First of ALL give him the news, he
.,nts it, Give it to him even though
,ometlnes it does not get into the
amer. He hasn't time always to tell
an why some pieces of news are not
..ed. but ten to one he has per-
,sctly good and impersonal reason.
fire him the news even though you
s.y not be especially interested in
Some folks never think to give
Me editor news except when they are
.oncerned in it one way or another
second, don't give him a piece of
avs and tell him you want 1t print
), lust as it is written. There's a
,isht and a wrong way to do even
.pch simple thing as writing an
.rcle for country paper. One ed
aor had to leave town because he
,rnted every piece of news just as it
vas handed in-spelling, punctuation
md all-and printed 1t with the name
n the person who gave it to him.
Third, don't try to play joke thru
the paper unless you explain 1t to the
Jilor. A thing in cold type looks
lot different and sounds different
from thing repeated by word of
mouth, when the voice, facial ex
pression and a gesture, perhaps, help
IN show its meaning.
Fourth. don't worry for fear the
,djtor is making too much money; you
should want him to be prosperous.
No can and will give you a better
aper. He will be less likely to have
n compromise with his conscience
oyerc ertain kinds of advertising. And
,uyhow, he can't make big fortune
ant of his paper-he will be lucky IL
he keeps going.
Fifth be ready to tell your editor
when something in the paper pleases
YOU. Once in while you tell your
preacher he has a good sermon, so
tell the editor something about his
paper.
Sixth. get your copy to him early.
Take 1t to him for the next week the
day after the previous publication, If
YOU can. 1t takes time to set type
and make a paper Did you ever
wonder what the editor did all the
time between publication days? You
would know if you were publishing n
yourself
Lastly. go in some day when the
paper is being printed. Go in sew
era times during the day, and you
will have more of realization of
what a job 1t is to make a weekly
paper-Ex.
