If Mr.. Birkhead were in the mar
ket for new car, l should first try
to arrange an appointment away
from his business, because my ex-
pefience has been that business and
professional men never are receptive
TO statesmen.
Mr.. Birkhead is a good business
man. He knows from experience
that poor car with good service is
better buy than a good car with
poor service. L believe that he would
agree with me that all cars run good
when they are new. A demonstra-
ton proves little. What will the
car do in a year or two from now. or
three, or say 100000 miles from
now? That's the point he is inter-
ested in. He knows that when cars
become old, they become costly, and
| should bring to his attention the
proofs of what Hudson and Essex
are doing in the hands of their
owners after years of service.
Our ability TO diagnose trouble
and remedy it quickly through our
competent service department should
come in for its share of Amusement.
Especially would l lay stress on this
fact if Mr.. Birkhead had neve-
owned Hudson or Essex, and par.
tcularly SO if he has owned a make
