DODGE SALES IN
SAN ANTONIO TOTAL
l46 IN ONE MONTH
Wroten-Hundley Motor
Company Sells 78 Nelp
Cars and Sc Used Ones.

March was the best month in the
history of the Wroten-Hundley Motor
Company's business. According to
George Wroten IS new Dodges and 6S
used ones were sold during this ,31-day
period. "Just imagine these cars lined
up one behind the other and paraded
down the street. 1t would make near
~ mile Of Dodge automobiles. 1t
all goes to show what. an efficient
sales force can do, and it also gives
good idea of the confidence that the
buying public has in this motor We
hicle of established merit" says Mr..
Wroten.
A telegram received from the dis
trict manager at Dallas shows what
was accomplished by the local Dodge
distributors. A copy of the telegram
is as follows:
"Extend to your sales force heartiest
congratulations on March deliveries of
new and used cars. Want you to
know that you outsold any other deal
er in Dallas district nearly two to
one. Keep her in high"
George s. Gill;"
In February 30 new Dodges were
delivered at retail. fairly large
month, but Messrs. Wroten and Humid
ley were not satisfied. In order to
spur their sales force into even greater
activity they arranged a bonus to be
divided among their sales force if that
number was increased for March. The
efficacy of this plan was demonstrated
by the fact that % more Dodges- were
sold in March than during the prior
month. The sale of LAG new and
used Dodges, the dealers believe, is
quito an achievement for a single
month.
with the approach Of the spring
season most of the people of today
want an automobile so that they may
enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and the
beautiful scenery" Mr.. Wroten says.
"witf this thought, the first thing that
is done is to purchase the best car for
their money; that is the one that
looks best to them.
Hundreds of people have admired
the new Dodge and have stated that
il is the best looking car that the
Dodge Motor Company has ever placed
on the market. 1t looks better than
the former models in many respects.
especially in the riding qualities. The
new long springs in the car with the
heavy body and chassis makes it stand
up TO the many jars and bumps re-
ceivcd on country roads and on some
city streets. =.
aThe motor in the new model is as
durable as in the former models. The
motor is almost silent when it is rum
ming. This is one of the qualities
that the Dodge boasts Of"
Tie longer body on the new car
improves the appearance of the car
a great deal, he says.
The company is launching Dodge
motor sales campaign and although the
month has been high as expected, the
statesmen will exert every effort to
make the sales in April exceed those
of March. Mr.. Wroten states.
Many secondhand cars have been
been sold during the month, but the
sales of the new Dodge has been
much larger. he states. The second

Sturdy Construction Holds

An interesting account Of the

dealer in WATERFOWL, N. Y, states
j. Z. Harper of San Antonio Motor
Sales Company, local dealers.
"The WATERFOWL dealer says that

the mishap.
"The tubular backbone is a steel
cylinder, five inches in diameter,
which hot riveted to the center frame

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS

Remove the old varnish before
revarnishing a surface. To do this
easily dissolve three tablespoonful
of baking soda in one quart of wa
ter and apply with a rough cloth.
When rolling foods in meal be-
fore frying use one-half flour and
they will brown better.
Brass door knockers and ham
dies may be kept brighter by
rubbing with paraffin after clean
ing, and finally polishing with a
cloth.
Mayonnaise dressing will mix
more readily if the ingredients are
not too cold. 49,.
When cleaning white paint use
warm water and sprinkle little
whiting ON the cleaning cloth.
Rinse with clear water.
The surface of new washboard
intended to save clothes from wear
is made of wooden beads strung
on wires.
To prevent damage, a new auto
mobile attachment shuts off the

Linoleum will wear longer If 1t
