FLAT RATE TO
HELP OWNERS
Motorists Find Dealers Max
ing Sincere Effort to Hold
Their Good Will

Automobile manufacturers an d
dealers are rapidly leaH hing how I'M
portant it is to satisfy car owners
with service Of proper character at
n reasonable cost.
Following the example Of Dodge
Brothers, who were among the first
to establish the flat rate system,
many other organizations are plan
ming or completing similar arrange
ments to increase service efficiency
and reap the good will of car own
ers. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note the manner in which
Dodge Brothers attacked the prob
lem, and the results accruing from
their adoption of the flat rate sys-
tenn. The outline here given is from
a statement issued by the factory:
"Our flat rate system was started
over year ago and is now used by
the majority of Dodge Brothers deal
ers. They advise that this system
has made it possible to practically
eliminate friction between the car
owner and the dealer on the subject
of service charges. Advising the
car owner of the cost of service
work in advance, convinces him that
many charges, which in the old days
were regarded as excessive, were
really justified. Few car owners
have any idea of the amount of la
Dor involved in making service re-
pairs. In the installation of very
small amount Of new material, it is
quite possible that the necessary
labor will cost comparatively large
sum of money.
1.-The car owner is certain to bene-
fit through the installation of the
flat rate system because there is
now an incentive for the dealer to
study shortcut methods and install
labor saving devices. This will al
low him to increase the volume of
work passing through his service
station, thus decreasing his overhead
cost The saving permits him to
lesson his flat rate charges to car
owneI and at the same time make a
fair business profit.
with an efficient service station
the dealer is in position to meet
the competition of inferior, ineffic-
lent repair shops, and construct a
continuing contact with the car
owner. This results in better m:l-
tual understanding and eventually
eliminates from the mind of his
patrons, the idea now so prevalent,
that service stations are places to be
avoided because of unfair charges.
The dealer has no desire to make his
profit through eXorbitant charges on
a few service jobs which drift to
him because the car owners knows
of no other place to go.
"Our experience with the flat rate
plan is such that we look forward %
the time in the near future when
every Dodge Brothers car owner will
patronize Dodge Brothers Approx
ed Service Station operated by one Of
our dealers. In such service sta
tions they will be sure of receiving
prompt, courteous, economical and
efficient service. Through efficien-
cy in the operation of the service
station, brought about by the flat
rate method, the car owner will OBJ
tain lower prices than can be OBJ
tanned in unapproved, unsupervisod,
Independent service stations"

Helping the Dealer to Sell

any specific trade-marked product as
is production and distribution. 1t is
not something that can be considered
merely as an expense to be curtailed
to the minimum. 1t is a creative in
iuence which, more than any other
thing after the merit of the product,
determines the extent of the consumer
demand.
Too often the manufacturer thinks Of
his advertising as a clever means Of
impressing the dealer with the desira-
bility of stocking up with his goods,
and he does enough to accomplish
that effect, and then expects the deal
err to move the goods. This is a mis-
taken use of advertising and it quickly
reacts upon the manufacturer.
1t is the business of the dealer to pro-
vide the goods which the public de-
mands. He would be foolish to do
otherwise, and would soon cease u be

misunderstanding specifically the
