When Mr.. Hundley Joined Mr..

broad financing and selling executive
ability acquired directly from one of
the most successful big businesses in

such as can be acquired only by the
automobile dealer in the smaller city
or town where the dealer himself
comes into actual contact with every
single transaction rs it affects the in
dividual car owner.
Perhaps there is not a dealer in
America who is more interested in the
development of his employees into ca
pable executives. The qualifications,
in business way which he looks for
in men, mainly are, vision, enthusiasm
and work. He believes that if man
has vision and is then "all sold" upon
or imbued with the soundness of the
thing he is about, there will then be
developed in him, enthusiam-the
power that put Columbus across"
and runs the world-as he expresses
it. Which will invariably result IN
the individuals happiness while de-
voted TO his work; which. when thus
carried on. always brings the big op-
portunity."

How by Expert Organiza-

tive benefits by other greatly success
ful American business. has been ap-
piled by Wroten-Hundley Motor Com
pany, predicated only on the basis that
with the motor car owners interests
placed first by us. we. with our staff
OF experts. can get and supply to them
utmost value.
As the -uccess of every business is,
of course. dependent upon the con-
sumer. and as the consumer in our bust
nerr is the car owner. the success of
our business is dependent upon the
car owner.
As a matter Of such vital impor-
lance, / believe that we have gone to
rock bottom in our investigation of
what the car owner desires and ex-
poets. The volume of business We have
developed, based thereon. has, in fact.
proved the correctness of our conclu-
sions which are given in particular.
Car Owner Reasonable.
The car owner of today does not ex-
pect something for nothinr. He knows
that when he gets something for moth
ing it is either gift o. good for moth
ing. He knows. too, that automobile
manufacturers. whose cars have proved
by their records their worth from an
investment point of view, can freely
choose the dealers they wish to sell
their cars. That for the permanence
of the factory organization they select
dealers to sell their cars who are bust
ness men. The car owner knows that
business men make their gifts to
worthy charities. The car owner.
then, expects to obtain and should
obtain the utmost possible value. based
upon sound practices, in return for the
money he pays.
In every transaction. therefore, our
entire organization is devoted to the
work of delivering to the motor car
owner a dollars worth Of motor car
value for every dollar invested by him
dollar for dollar.
In our work of supplying dollar for
dollar value to the motor car owner,
the divisions of our business are de-
pendent, one upon another and l
should like briefly to show their rela-
ton, one to another.
Take first the division of new car
sales. A large percentage of new
cars sold by us are sold to people who

Policies to Our Business

already have cars and from whom, by
the custom of the trade. it is necessary
that we accept their used cars as part
payment upon the new cars sold to
them.
Thus, to maintain a growing volume
of new car sales an outlet is necessary
for the used cars thus accepted in
trade. This outlet is maintained
through the used car division of our
business.
Motor Car Invaluable.
Theor.ze about It as one wishes, the
cold records of finance institutions and
credit authorities show that there is
not a single convenience or necessity
employed in the daily life of a motor
car owner. which he would not sooner
be deprived of than his motor car. The
motor car owner will make any reason
able sacrifice to keep his car in opera
ton. Hence, the car owne. who pur-
chases of us expects that the operation
of his car will not be interrupted. II
we are to continue to sell the same. or
an increased volume of Dodge Brothers
motor cars, i'm the same community. it
is essential that each purchaser of one
OF these cars and each person with
whom he comes in contact, be con-
WINGED that a Dodge Brothers motor
car renders uninterrupted service.
Therefore. the Importance of the SER
vice division of our business.
Where anything mechanical is COM
posed OF more than one part and is
subject to use, some one part is liable.
from wear or from accident. to break
age. A motor car such as Dodge
Brothers car-though one of the stur-
diest mechanical achevements-is no
exception. If Dodge Brothers car is
to give uninterrupted servi, :, then in
the event of breakage in any of its
parts, sthe car owner must have avail
able at his command. a genuine Dodge
Brothers part to replace the broken
part for. that Dodge Brothers genuine
parts are superior to counterfeit parts,
that they last longer. and afford better
value, is indisputable to all who know
the facts. Thus. an important factor
in the permanent growth Of the volume
of new cars sold is the parts and Access
sorry division of our business.
In considering the product which We
are selling. we have had before us first
as no obligation can be am stronger
than its maker-the resources behind
the product.
Never Borrowed . Dollar.
From the day they built their first
motor car Dodge Brothers have never
had to borrow dollar. even during
their greatest periods of expansion.
There are no outside stockholders to
satisfy. Money from the business has
been put back into the business to
make the car better and better value.
The activity of any branch of the
business has never been limited by lack
on funds: Today, with a volume of
business of hundreds of millions. there
is no outstanding obligation other than
current bills payable.
Thus, with abundant resources and
facilities. for making a high grade auto
mobile, that is uncxcelled in the in
dustry. Dodge Brothers with their ex-
perience and the marvellous records of
endurance and worth established by
their ears over periods of years. simply
state that their organization does not
know how to build better car at any
price.
With the Dodge Brothers car which
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-10-14

their determination at all times is to
supply the car owner dollar for dollar
service.
Our parts and accessory division
carry ample stocks. have~systems ex-
perts, have devised to fix beyond cues.
ton that needed parts are available at
all times for Dodge Brothers cars. The
magnitude of our accessory purchases
and the care and expert ability cxer-
cised in their selection are factors con-
tributing toward our ability to supply
Dodge Brothers owners with dollar
for dollar value.
The function of the commercial ve-
hicle division Of our business is to
adapt the proper Dodge Brothers motor
vehicle to commercial service.
How well we had performed that
function was disclosed when recently
the result of an investigation brought
to light the fact that in every business
in San Antonio in which Dodge Broth
ers commercial vehicles had been oper-
ated and in which other commercial
vehicles had been operated at the same
time and careful record kept of the
work done and the cost of operating
each vehicle-the record showed that
for the specific work being done that
the Dodge Brothers commercial vehicle
did more work in less time with fewer
Interruptions and at less cost than it
could be done otherwise.
We know that there is no guess
work or accident about the correct
adaptation of them and that Dodge
Brothers commercial vehicles provide
business men with first-class freight
transportation dollar for dollar.
Money will buy sites, erect buildings,
buy shop equipment and machinery.
Money will buy and stock me. :handisc.
But clever men of character and
ability are not bought and the history
of successful business is invariably the
history of men.
Clever men associate themselves in
undertakings that are constructive.
