Bl WILLIAM CLLMAA.

NIotordom is rapidly awakening TO
the startling fact that those who
make Americas motor ears have
never really made the acquaintance
of those who buy them. Here is a
sreat number of men doing NAM
moth business with the most enthusi-
astic buyers in the history of man
kind, Yet both groups are virtually
strangers to each other,
This fact is coming to lisht be-
cause of regent evidence that some
nf the more progressive car makers
are beginning to develop systems for
the question as to why this trend did
not take root years ago.
The phenomenal rise of the bust
ness itself is. of course. the underly

That WAS all we'll enough for the
rise of the motor empire" but TO
prevent the fall something more def

become an individual in the eyes OF
the manufacturer. and vice versa.
Progress III this line has been re-
tarded because of the method OF mer-
