disposing of it. Prices at which we
have held our cars are forgotten.
Terms that we adhered to in the past

"This is the second sale we have
ever held during our ten years in the
automobile business, during which
time we have sold and delivered more

I'VE attribute our unusual success
in satisfying used car customers to
the fact that our cars are intesligently
renewed before being placed on the
market. 1t is a fact that very fesw cars
traded in today are worn out. They
are traded in because they are too
small or too large. or because their
friends across the street have a pew
car and they think they want one, or
very frequently now open cars are
traded in on the modern closed cars.
Any good make of new car should run
one hundred thousand miles. The
average mileage on all the used cars
We have is probably between ten and
twenty thousand miles. If such car
with less than 20 per cent Of it's useful
life gone can be purchased at dis
count of so to rs per cent less than
it's cost, is it not better buy than a
cheap new car? Such is our conten-
tion and we are out to prove It,"
