the existing parliamentary crisis pre-

WATCH THAT TRAOE-IN

No one needs to follow the course
of the used car market more than
the man who is in the market for a
new car. One manufacturer has
decided to permit no trade-in's on his.
car. Instead Of initiating the price Of
his car in order to take care of eA-
cessive allowances on old machines
he urges the public to sell the old
car for what it is actually worth and
then buy his new product at the
reduced price. This gives the motor
ist something to think about when
he is offered a good price on his old
car as trade-in for new one.
Here's another angle. In some
cities they are trying out what is
known as the associate dealer
proposition. A successful dealer APP
points several other local dealers,
garage men or special representa-
tives as associate or metropolitan"
dealers. The idea will spread like
Wildtire this year because it means
greatly charging the selling force
and getting lot Of people boosting
one car. But there are lot Of
bitches to the plan. and the motorst
should watch out for variation in al
lowanccs on his used car.

one means the evolution of the race
from carelessness in getting run
down by motor cars to carcfulness
in lodging bumpers, Or at least care
in selecting good cars to be struck
by. \ lot can be done to hasten
this process-and safety campaigns
are doing it--but If any one thinks
that conditions are getting worse now
is the time to tie a rock 20 that
notion and sink it,

naturally careful. Their children and
