Foresight in Buying.

What a motorist pays for his car
nowadays is very largely matter
of how well he can read the future,
for just as neglect of the car In
poor judgment in considering the
various propositions put up at the
time of purchase.s
Motorists have heard lot about
orphan cars" but now that the
National Automobile Dealers Asso-
ciatfon has issued a statement to the
effect that the average business life
perhaps buyers will be more inter-
e&ted in Investigating thepermanency
of the dealer before purchasing.
1t simply means giving the buSi-
ness to he reliable dealers who
deserve it, which is just another way
OF stating the fact that little fore
sight in this connection will greatly

1t is particularly important that
the motorist know the trend of auto
mobile design and be able to differ
entiate between fads and logical de-
velopment. The next few years are
going to reveal some important
strides in design, and the motorist
must use foresight to forestall the
Possibility of being caught with a
car that is out of date. But. on the
other hand, every wave of develop
ment has its freak ideas In body and
chassis design. Good judgment Is
the only guide.
No motorisi can be expected to be a
mind reader, but judging from the OBJ
vions mistakes car buyers are constant
y making 1t rather looks as though a
little common sense in buying would
bring about results that would be salts
factory enough.

the lubrication where it ought to go.
One gar owner recently COM

examination I discovered that the

owner thought this greasin' was
taken care of through the plug lead

that the grease cup for the bearing

the accclerator assembly which hap
pened to be carried on an arm from
the steerin' gear housing.
