Then, for the sake of argument,
we will assume that the car buyer
or accessory buyer. as the case
may be, has purchased such a
product. 1t is the embodiment
of perfection when It becomes
his property.
AT this point a new element

Is any piece Of mechanism II IL
very much at the mercy of the
man who owns It. Whether he
uses or abuses It will determine
the amount of service II gives
him.
"All thinking motorists have come
to realize this fact. They see the un.
reasonableness now Of expecting the
car dealer to give them free service
on correcting trouble that the exer-
cising Of little care on their part
would have prevented.
During the evolution Of the auto
motive industry the free service idea
was tried and found impractical.
Fair-minded motorists did not expect
such service gratis. and. furthermore.
the privilege was considerably
abused by unjust car owners.
THE whole idea Of service on
which the Stewart speedometer and
members, may be summed up in this
way:
First: To give car owners the
most perfect products mechanically
and constructively that human in
genuity, skill and modern machinery
can build. To make them as nearly
trouble-proof as possible.
Second: To have close at hand.
