PUBLIC DEMANDS
VALUE IN MOTOR
CAR SAYS DEALER

The record of Christmas shopping
proves that the public has had u
change OF heart and have ceased to
purchase along the lines that price
means quality. in the opinion of Lew
Walker, Dodge Brothers motor car
distributor.
: Not only the sales we have made of
cars, that were bought as tokens of
the season, but from every source of
information that l have been able to
gather. from my friends in the business
world. I deduct only one thing, and
that is. people are commencing to de-
mand dollars worth for every dollar
they spend. The sale of luxuries those
things which satisfied individual taste,
without an intrinsic value. are on the
leftover shelf.
The buyers OF motor cars this
Christmas, after having their demand
satisfied as to body lines. and access
sorics seen in refined appointments.
settled down to the one point. the me-
chanical value of a car for the price
asked. This has been the last test in
closing our sales.
The public is demanding greater
service of the cars they are buying,
meaning that the automobile must be
as good next year and the year after
as 1t is today, 1t must be more than n
one year car"
