yet it is practically impossible to
get car owners to read an instruc-
ton book.
We, At the time OF delivery and
afterwards give them the essential
instruction verbally. but they for
get We have tried putting these
essential instructions in writing
for the convenience of our custom
ers, yet it is surprising even what
little good result Is obtained from
this method. But it is our duty
to keep everlastingly at it, That is
a service we owe our customers.
The automobile should last much
longer than it does, and the reas-
you think it should is 9y per cent
on your account. You don't drive
1t right and you don't take care of
It, One of the most important
things we have been stressing upon
is proper fabrication and keeping

The average car is traded in on
a new car at less than twenty-five
thousand miles. 1t should go one
hundred thousand satisfactorily
and it would if you would follow
carefully your dealers instruc-
lions and give it the ordinary care
that it is entitled to. Our efforts
in this regard have cost us some
money and considerable time
Just now we are working on an
other campaign among our Gus
toners; the matter of etiquette on
the highway. Getting across the
important courtesies and safety
prevention. For example. stopping
the car at the approach of railroad
crossings or any road intersection
where the line of vision is OBJ
structed. keeping close to the right
hand curb before making a right
hand turn. making gradual stops in
traffic instead Of sudden ones.
Having sold you a car. either
new or used. we are more inter
ested in you than when you were
in the market We feel the re-
sponsibility for the satisfaction of
every individual who deals with
us. and have a sincere and honest
desire to meet your desires profit
ably and adequately. Our service
department is organized with the
one idea of rendering service to
the people who need ito do what
| is necessary quickly economically
and satisfactorily. To do this. it
is necessary to have trained me-
| chanics specialized in the repair
|
we must have the special tools
made by the automobile manufac-
i turer for short-cutting these repa ir
operations. This specialized serv-
| ice makes it possible for US to
perform a repair operation on an
/ Overland or WHY'S Knight car in
five hours which, perhaps would
take less qualified service sta
tion ten hours. This all works out
in the form of a saving of money
and time to the customer and. of
| course, in any business. the better
| the service which it can render its
customers. the more valuable that
house becomes to the community in
which it operates.
The world has become very
but IL is still buying automobiles
/ and finding that the one way TO
save money is to spend il wisely
on things that pay constant divi-
dends. Your time is your principle
asset The automobile adds more
hours to your work day; more
days to the month: more months to
the year So it follows that it in
creases your producuiveness to say
nothing of the social and other ad-
vantages derived from the motor
car. That the car pays each one of
YOU constant dividends. none Of you
! Will question. So. 1t is my job to
see that our house is always in
order with the right men, and the
right tools. and the right disposi-
ton. to provide our customers with
maximum transportation service
from every car we sell.
