SAYS No COMMERCIAL
SUPPLY PETROLEUM

A discussion of the possibilities OF
securing a commercial supply of pet.
roleum or natural gas in southwes-
tern and south-central Idaho is con-
tanned in a preliminary report of a
reconnaissance conducted by the
United States geological survey in
cooperation with the Idaho bureau
of mines and geology. The lnvestl-
cation was made by John P. Buwal-
da and the report is issued by the
state bureau.
The area examined comprises that
part Of southwestern Idaho known as
the Snake river valley and includes
many of the tributary valleys from a
point Is miles northwest of Weiser
on the west to Raft river and Goose
creek valleys in south central Idaho.
"The outcome of this investiga-
tion,' says DR.. Buwaldas report, " is
regretfully an unfavorable judgment
regarding the possibilities for secur-
ing a commercial supply OF petroleum
or natural gas in the parts OF south
western and south-central Idaho ex-
amined. Although structures occur
which would presumably be satisfac-
tory, the sedimentary formations are
practically all of non-marine origin,
and although it is conceivable that
fresh water formations might origin
ate petroleum, the absence of authen-
tic cases in which they have done so,
and the lack of true oil seeps in the
region under examination. reduce to
rather slended proportions the hope
for success in oil and gas prospect
ing in these areas
Copies of the report may be had
upon application to the secretary of
the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geo.
logy, Moscow Idaho.

USED-CAR PROBLEM DEALERS
AND NOT DIFFICULT TO SOLVE
Buy at Market Value and Put Competitive
Efforts Into Boosting Own Brand,
Salesmanship Advice.

really worth. Dealers. generally, are
against trade-ln discounts because these
really mean a bonus to the manu-
facturer on hrst-time sales and
new car. This. In the long run,
merely makes sales resistance and
adds to the dealers difficulties. 1t
would be better for the dealer to
lower the list price and thus enable
him to draw more prospects.
The dealer claims that the manu-
facturer forces him to dispose of q
fixed allotment OF cars in his terri
tory: The competitive dealers in the
territory also have quotas to meet.
This causes bidding among the deal
ers for the car customers and. as
out-and-out price cutting is not In
vogue, the competition results in
buying in the used cars by the deal
ers at ruinous prices.
The dealer is prone to forget that
he is in business only to sell all the
cars he possibly can at profit. and
he begins to operate on the princiDle
that his real aim is to outsell his
competitors al any cost or loss. With
"a fixed quota of cars to move, the
dealer is in terror of losing any trade
for fear his local competitor will
make the sale.
Manufacturer's Attitude.
The attitude of the manufacturer
is based on logical enough grounds.
In the first place, he determines his
list price from the number of cars he
plans to produce, and any curtailment
would involve him in loss, The
dealer must not forget that loss to
the manufacturer affects the dealer
just as loss to the dealer reacts on
the manufacturer.
In the second place. the manufac-
turer makes Il scientific survey of
the country and ascertains how many
car sales he has a right to expect in
oh Ia; ia mt,
when he gives an exclusive contract
TO some dealer for that locality il
is not unfair that the latter should
be expected to move that many cars.
The only Legitimate protest which
the dealer can advance is that the
manufacturer has oVereStimated the
sales possibilities in the territory,
but this matter should be debated
and thrashed out in advance of sign
ing the contract. The dealer has ac-
cess to the same statistics and rea-
soning as has the manufactures. The
dealer is intimately acquainted with
his territory and if his protest
against the manufacturers estimate
is based on sound facts and reason
ing he will have no difficulty in con-
Tincing the manufactures. No far
seeing manufacturer will cram an err
roneous quota down the throat of a
good dealer
Besides this, no manufacturer is
able to compel his dealers TO do any
thing they do not want to do. There
are not enough good dealers to go
around, and the desirable dealers art.
In position to obtain d fair deal
from the manufacturers. The manu-
facturerS, naturally enough. want to
keep the dealers going at top speed,
but no manufacturer is stupid enough
deliberately to kill the goose which
lays the golden egg.
The cruX of the situation is the
dealer behavior. As hinted above,
the dealers easily lose sight of their
true purpose. When the dealers get
the notion that they must outbid each
other in every trade, the scene
Evening star., 1923-07-22

must be included in the resale price
Of the used car.
The dealer selling a used car per-
forms a real specialized service for
the owner and the latter must expect
to pay for the service rendered.
If the dealer is not loaded up he
can buy any used car at the market
price, less the amount required to
pay all expenses, and also to yield
him a profit on resale. If he gives
more than this he is losing money
and no dealer can do this very long
1t is better to let trade go than
to make IL at a loss, and competitors
who bid the highest for used cars do
not last.
The so-called Boston plan is the
answer. but it's success I'm any COM
munity can he no stronger than the
morale of the dealer organization.
For this reason the precursor to the
Boston plan, the so-called Saginaw
plan, is somewhat preferable The
Saginaw plan depends more directly
on the personal strength and infiu-
ence of one man. Where any organ
