DEALERS FACE
HARD PROBLEM
IN USED CARS
Have Been Allowing Too
High Allowance on
Trades.

The used car problem has become 80
complex that manufacturers and deal
era are devoting most Of their attention
20 its solution
There are about eight million used
cars in the country, figuring on the basis
that a year-old car Is used" And each
year about 10 per cent have been turned
in for new machines. or strapped, leav-
ing few new new-car buyers.
Manufacturers have como to realize
that the greater part OF their annual
production goes TO the persons who turn
in used cars and get an allowance for
them.

THE LOSER
This allowance, IL has been decided,
is what is straining the back Of the new
car market. Dealers, esger to sell, have
been allowing too much for old automo-
biles. The owner. rather than the sales
agent, has been pocketing the profit.
Three solutions TO this situation have
been offered:
l. Each manufacturer, in advertising
his new car, should also quote the mar
ket price Of his older models. Agents
