Under the Plan Of

Adopting 9 new policy In disposing
of used cars the Whitlock- Mcdonald
Motor company, els Twenty-first
street, south, Star and Durant
dealers. has within the last week sold
more used automobiles than during
any similar period Of the summer
OF 1922, according to r. e. Richie,
originator of the Kars On Kredit
plan. He declared that the plan,
which is the result of long study OF
economic conditions existing in Bir-
mingham and adjacent communities,
makes it possible for every prospec-
tive car owner to have his wish gra-
titled
1t is said the movement has met
with such great success in the week
in which it has been in operation
| that plans are being devised for the
enlargement of present quarters OF
the company. Further developments
are expected soon.
Sale of used cars has grown to
such proportions in the last few
years that some of the largest sales
rooms in the country are devoted ex-
clusively to this branch of the motor
| industry. The expansive rooms in
New York and Cleveland are
| examples of such places.
The whitlock Mcdonald company
| has adopted the slogan of The
House of Clean Salesmanship" and
has formulated policy to fit its
slogan. According to Mr. Richie
every car is sold exactly on Its merits
and no effort is made TO convince
prospective buyers that each car has
been overhauled and rebuilt com
.letely.
Every used car that enters our
shop is given a thorough inspection"
he said. 1T is checked promptly. II
it needs paint it goes to the paint
shop. II it needs repairs it goes to
the repair department, where 1t Is
put in good running condition. Our
slogan The House of Clean Sales
manship' forbids us to say that every
car is thoroughly overhauled or re-
built for if we did this the price the
buyer would necessarily have to pay
would be entirely beyond the reach
Of the used car buyer. We tell
every prospect the exact condition
of the car he is figuring on. also
what we have and have not done
Consequently used car buyers know
exactly what they are buying and
the convenient terms on which they
! can buy"
Mr.. Richie is very much enthuseo
with the new policy of the company.
He stated that the present repair
shop on Avenue F will not be large
| enough to care for the number of
cars which will have to be recon
| ditioned before they are sold.

LUXURIOUS MOTOR BUSES FOR LONG TRIPS ARE
POPULAR WITH PATRONS OF TOURIST AGENCIES

The tourist agency that books
you FOR a trip around tho world
by rail and water has now COM
pleted the transportation trinity by
installing luxurious motor bus
equipment for the carrying Of tour
lists over the many famous scenic
highways Of the country. The
tourist agency Of George E. Mars
tiers, Inc, of Boston and New York
inaugurated this mode of travel
with much success last July by
placing in service the touring
limousine Mohawk. The coach was
routed on regular runs over the
Mohawk Trail, through the Adiron-
dacks; to Montreal; through the
White mountains and down the
Shenandoah valley. These long
distance bus tours deluxe met with
instant favor and OF the eighteen
trips run from Boston to Montreal
and over the Mohawk Trail there
never was a vacant seat either on
the outgoing or return trips. In
six months the bus has covered
more than $4,000 rifles.
The success attending the initial
bus tours conducted by Marsters
led TO the purchase of additional
White Model 80 buses which will
be used In greatly extending the
company's motor bus touring pro-
gram.
