INSTABILITY WORST
| AILMENT VANE FINDS
/, IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Average Life of Dealer Less
Than That of Auto
''sgss mobile. .r,,,,ys

Lists Of automobile dealers and &C
|cessory dealers and repair shops are
the most changeable thing in the in
dustry, says CA. Vane, general man
hCer of the National Automobile Deal
PRS Association. In the year IT,.
bj ner cent of all the automobile
iealers went out of business and in
hat same year the number of repair
rarages which did not have a car
brency. increased from 1900 to 34.-
hoo. From February / to August j.
Mr.. Vane Travelled $4,000 miles over
he United States, interviewing thou
sands of dealers and closely observing
conditions.
Aack Of permanency as general all
ment in the industry, is one of the
thief things he mentions in relating
his observations.
The average life of an automobile
$ now. said to be between five and six
hears. This in comparison with the
b. years life of the average auto
mobile dealer. Mr.. Vane points out
hat it is readily apparent that the
automobile through its last two years
bf efficient usefulness can be expected
o have "no home
THE interest of the buyer, in the
lealer. really should b as great be-
ore the purchase, as AFTER says MIR.
'ane. at is possible to investigate
nd scrutinize the permanency of the
ealer before buying. That is the
iue to do ii. instead of later as mas
been the custom with so many buyers.
t has seemed to me that the interest
f the buyer. in the dealer and his in
titution only begins after buying the
ar.
IF as much attention is given to
he dealer and his status and to his
ermanency. before buying. as has been
iven TO complaints about him after
uying the car owners will contribute
argely TO their car satisfaction. The
ealer who sells the Car in the begin
ing can be expected to have con-
iderably more interest in the con-
nued satisfactory performance of the
ar than a dealer who might succeed
be first one. The y. A. d. A. is
uilding for permanency and en-
buraging all dealers to improve their
hethods. The owners can materially
id by applying the pressure of their
uying power in selecting the mer-
hant who has built for permanency."

Were Mr.. Stoves a prospect Of
mine. 1 should first remind him
of the fact that this year the
Chevrolet motor company is build
ing more tran twice the number OF
cars it manufactured last year, a
fact which, in my opinion, indi-
Gates the increasing popularity of
Chevrolet all over the world. Per-
haps Mr.. Stoves does not know it
but in several states, particularly
on the Pacific Coast. Chevrolet is
leading all other cars in registra-
ton. Chevrolet is made by a divi-
sion Of the great General Motors
corporation which has the best
brains of the country in every one
of its departments. Furthermore,
Chevrolet is not made by some
-by-night" concern but is a
product OF corporation which is
firmly organized and will UNI
doubtedly be in existence for gen.
erations 10 come. Those are things
to consider when buying an auto
mobile and ] am sure Mr.. Stoves
would give them his consideration
were he a prospect.

EmbIetOn Motor Co.

A man of the reputation ana
standing Of Albert Stoves, our
well-known lumber dealer by all
means should drive a car in keep
ing with his position. That car,
in nv opinion, should be Moon,
which not only is beautiful in dc.
sign but is perfect in mechanical
operation, combination one does
not often see. The Moon is made
by the Moon Motor Car company,
st. Louis. NO., which was founc-
ed in 1907 by Joseph w. Moon,
who. before he so successfully en-
tered the automobile field. was one
of the leading carriage manufactur-
ers of the country. The Moon is
different from any other car on
the market. 1t appeals to buyers
seeking distinctiveness and indiv-
uality. That's the reason / be-
lieve it would appeal to Mr..

/ think the Dodge Brothers all
steel business coupe is just the
thing Albert Stoves, ST., president
of Ed Stoves and Sons, needs Tor
business use. In fact, / have
heard that Mr.. Stoves. has a pref
erencc for II car OF this type so
/ don't believe l would have any
difficulty in selling him one made
by Dodge Brothers. Mr.. Stoves is
quite man of affairs and natur-
ally has occasion 10 run about
the city a good deal. To do this
in the least possible time he must
have some satisfactory means OF
transportation. This l feel GER
tain he would find in the new
Dodge Brothers business coupe
which is built TO fill the needs OF
busy business men such as MI.
Stoves. Were he TO take ride
in one I am sure he would place
his order with us Immediately.

CHRIS BATES
Baker Motor Company

/ notice that Mr.. Stoves has
driven a Ford coupe for many
years. He must appreciate the
superior qualities of the Ford, else
he would own some other make.
Now, l think he should trade in
the car that has served him so
faithfully through all kinds of
weather during these years and
buy one of the new 1923 Ford
models. L believe the new car
would be a revelation to him, with
its numerous Improvements and re-
finements. While the basic prin-
ciple has not been changed in the
least, Henry Ford has added many
little touches of refinement here
and there with the result that the
1924 Ford offers the greatest value
in the history of the car. And
at its lowest price. Mr.. Stoves
by all means should drive one of
the new models.

a thing Of beauty is Joy
forever" sang the poet. Had this
poet been living today would be
prompted to say he received his
inspiration from the new Cadillac,
which is beauty and joy for
ever in every sence of the word.
Mr.. Stoves, with his standing in
our community, should own a Cad
lilac. am sure it would be
never-cnding source of joy to him.
Tie new Cadillac with the four
wheel brakes and other outstand-
ing Improvements is the result of
years of experiment with the CadiI-
lac Motor company and represents
the utmost in motor car comfort.
Yes. Mr.. Steyes should own
Cadillac.

THEATRES
At h Ditmas

Az LIN -
A cross section of life In New
York city where conflict Is ever
abroad-where contrasts are sc
rich, forms the theme of the vita
and compelling drama, East side
West Side" sponsored by Principal
Pictures Corporation and which
is now playing at the Ditmas the
atre today. The authors, Leighton
Osmun and Henry Hull, have
brought forth the struggles of a
Young girl to keep faith with hei
Ideals. and have done such an ex-
cellent job by their story that il
stands forth rich in realities, hui
manities and throbbing heart ap'
peal. The contrasts of the city which
furnish such fertile material for the
background of the plot depict the
East Side, the harbor of poverty
and s~ordidness, and the West Side
where live the people of social i'm
portance.
1t is said that East and West can
never meet, but the authors smash
this barrier in building two other
which carry more vitality and dra'
matte power. The central character
of this absorbing story Is a young
girl who remains steadfast in hei
devotion to her ideals. Regardless
of the fact that she is living In a
sordid atmosphere, she believes II
humanity. She acts as mother to-
ward an invalid girl whose frailnese
prevents her from giving expression
to her desire to gain pleasure. There
is another girl who uses the room
shelter-but this girl is a hrm
believer in the primrose path. She
disappears from our h%eroine's life
when she encounters riches.
