the strength of the electrical switch
nor of the construction IL the sig
nal bracket which must stand the
! strain of vibration. And the re-
suit is that about SO per cent Of
these devices are at present out of
| order--a condition which helps to
occasion rear-end collisions rather
than prevent them.
Dangerous in Traffic.
An engineer who has been test.
ing accessories for years told me
that he wrecked two of these cheap
rear signaling devices in an hours
time. He considers it extremely
dangerous for any car owner to
equip his car with any device
which may fail to do what it is
installed for. Any driver who has
followed car with its signaling
device out of order-particularly If
its operator does not know that 1t
is not working-will appreciate the
truth of this.
There are number of large
firms at work on traffic and rear
signaling devices which do the work
required of them, and do it well,
but they are holding off because
they believe there is no market ut
present for a well-made product.
Unfortunately this belief is en-.
couraged by the fact that supply
houses refuse to stock up with
high-class goods in the belief that
no one will buy them. Selling
accessories, like anything else, ~
a purely commercial proposition.
Stock that turns over quickly is
the biggest money maker. And, as
in most lines, the cheap stock
turns over quickest.
Where the accessory market diff
fers from other markets, however,
is that the supply store which
specializes in only high-grade ac-
cessories is virtually nonexistent.
The man who has discovered he
must have accessories in keeping
with the class of car he drives
finds little on the market to meet
his needs. The shopper for cloth
ing finds various classes of stores,
each one designed to cater to a
certain class of trade. But when a
motorist shops, for accessories he
finds most of the stores carrying
the same line of cheap stock, and
when he asks for something better
he is told that there is no money
in it, which, in turn, is because
there is no call for it,
Hard to Procure.

IN nutSnell the prOblcIn Is this:
The man with $4,000 car cannot
find accessories which, in ma
terials, design and workmanship,
are in keeping with his car. And
the difficulty he encounters is
mainly due to the fact that he has
always made it habit to buy the
cheapest accessories the supply
man offered. Now that he has
learned that there is 40 economy
in cheap products he finds that the
market does not offer the sort of
articles he should have asked for
In the first place.
Economy Feature Secondary,

to sell at the low prices motorists
demand they are more likely to
create the very problem which they
were intended to solve. The
strongest indictment against cheap
accessories is that they are hazards
in themselves.
Take the case of many cheap
rear signaling devices that have
been marketed and sold. There are
to my knowledge about twenty sig.
mailing devices which, because they
were listed to sell at from $40 to
$35. have practically proved to be
failures on the accessory market.

though there are many limitations of it, the sales
