USED CAR PROBLEM
TO BE DISCUSSED AT
DEALERS MEETING
Speakers of National Note
Will Address Chicago
Contention.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Estimates of motor
vehicle manufacturers indicate that re.
placement business for 1923 will be ap-
proximately 80 to Go per cent of all
retail automobile sales. Executives of
the National Automobile Dealers As
ISOLATION point cot that this means ad-
ditional perplexities for the automobile
dealer who has not yet worked out
merchandising methods for handling of
the used cars. The used car problem"
as it has come TO be known in the auto
mobile industry will be thoroughly dis
cuSsed at the 1923 convention in Chi
cago, January ~ to 80, inclusive.
Practically all of the morning of
Tuesday. January 80. will be devoted to
the used car subject The three big
phases of this subject viii be handled in
lectures by men of wide prominence in
the industry.
THE Saginaw Used Car Plan" has for
several years been attracting attention.
Guy S. Carbon, of the CARRIER Buick
Company. Saginaw, for six years presi-
dent of the Saginaw dealers association,
will discuss the plan, its advantages,
its reasons for success and the value of
public and dealer.
'The Boston Used Car Statistical
Bureau" will be described in detail by
L. b. Sanders, of the Dunbar-Sanders
Motor Company of Boston. This is the
first time that the bureau and its work
ings have been described in detail to
the general automobile trade. The work
ings of the bureau have recently at
tracted much attention, and parts of its
plan of operation been adopted by deal
er associations in few cities.
''The Individual Dealers Part in the
Used Car Problem" will e presented
by W. Pitt Barnes. of the Barnes Motor
Company of Cleveland. The National
Association for many months has been
attempting. to make the dealers see their

where there are no gears 10 shift and
Consequently much less friction loss.
Controlling all their plans for per-
lection OF the automobile is the factor
of simplicity. Simplicity has already
gone far in making hitherto inaccessible
parts available TO the motorist ard in
saving time in driving. The force feed
oil system is a product OF simpler Y.
SO are tire replacement, chassis con-
structio4 and other minor details of
the car.
But recount of all such improve
ments merely goes TO show how little
advanced we are in. the Development OF
the automobile. Braking aud spring De.
vices have 10 be improved. The head
lighting system has to be corrected so
as to MINIMIZE glare. Tires, highly de-
veloped as they are, are in for further
improvement. The fuel feed system is
to be simplified. And strong, hight
metals ere being sought Tor better
chassis construction.

individual responsibility. Mr.. Barnes
is accredited as One of the genuinely sue
cessful merchandisers in the automobile
business. This subject is expected to
be one of the most interesting of the
group.
The amount of time allotted to this
subject and the number of speakers OBJ
tanned to cover it is but an indication
of its Importance, say officials of the
n. 4. d. \. 1t is estim;t,d that there
will be 100000 motor cars used in
requirements in 1928. If the total pro-
duction exceeds the new high record of
production established for 1922, the es-
timator indicate that something more
than 100000 cars will be used for non
replacement business.

FREE SERVICE NOT
ALWAYS FREE, SAYS
GUARANTEE OFFICIAL
Best Way Is to Do Business
With One Concern,
Tatum Asserts.

In a discussion of the service side of
the automobile business, L. S. Tatum,
manager of the Tire and Accessory de-
partment of the Guarantee Motor Com
pany, said:
Service is maintained by the various
automotive tire dealers for their patrons
and is frequently abused to such extent
that the cost of maintaining that service
has become a nightmare. 1t is often
the case that people who have not been
trading with any particular tire com
pany, find themselves in a delicate posi-
ton when it comes to calling on some
tire concern for road service.
These cases can be easily remedied
by concentrating your purchase with
one dealer and thereby placing yourself
in a position that you feel you can call
upon your dealer for this service as
YOU have favored him with your tire
business from which he makes q profit
that will enable him to rende- service.
THESE road trips which are made
over n distance of four or five miles
entail an expense of not less than 80
cents a trip and unless the dealer is
able to sell something, he must make a
reasonable charge so that he may defray
the overhead cost.
1t is true that the people driving au-
tomobiles have more or less been spoiled
by the dealers and therefore, and are
not wholly to blame for the lack Of
consideration. Service is something
that must prove of mutual benefit to
both the dealer and the consumer and
when you are getting something for
nothing as some dealers try to make you
believe, you will find in most cases that
you pay for it in greater amount than
you would be called upon TO do. should
definite price be made for this ser
vice"

Sometimes it pays to go to bank
and borrow money. Sometimes bor-
rowing money is the wisest and
most profitable thing in the world
to do.
But bankers never employed the
slogan, ct pays to borrow"
Rather, they counsel carefully
with a man before they advise him
to borrow-for his own safety, as
we'll as their own. They do not pro-
mote borrowing as something prac-
tically sure Of success.
Perhaps that is one reason why
bankers have never understood the
