Be DELIBERATE IN
CHOOSING DEALER
Beware of Salesman Who
Is Willing to Make Big
Allowance on Old Car.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering)
Every dealer promises satisfactory
gervice-free service for the first few
months or the first year with certain
restrictions, but fully satisfactory serv-
ice always. He will tell you that his
particular brand of service is at least
equal, and usually he will say 1t is
superior, to that of his competitors. 1t
is as much of his selling talk as stat
ing that he has the best car for the
money. So beware! Do not accept
these statements but investigate by
talking to present owners. A glance
through the shop will often prove
whether what he says is likely to be
true or not, and additional informa-
ton along this line may be obtained
from owners. This precaution will
often prevent a rude awakening.
Indications OF Stability.
The shop is not the only angle, how
ever, from which to Judge the dealer.
The condition of his showroom, wheth-
err It is neat and clean, whether his
cars are shining or not, the personnel
of his employees and the general at
mosphere are important indications.
Perfection in these little details shows
business ability shows that he Is up
to-date, and consequently will give you
the sort of treatment you expect.
The financial status of the business
is also important. If it is a thriving,
flourishing going concern 1t is safe to
assume that parts and repairs may be
obtained for years to come. A healthy
business usually has a good shop; the
shop is the heart of the business. Ii
money is lacking the shop is the first
to feel the pinch, because 1t rarely
makes a profit anyhow. 1t Is merely a
means to further sales.
Allowance on Old Car.
Beware of the dealer who is willing
to make a big allowance IN your old
car. If he gives you more than the car
is worth he is really selling the new
car at a discount. 1t has been proved
time and time again that it is impos-
sible for a car to be sold at less than
list price and for the dealer still to
make any money. If he sells the car
at q discount there Is a false value
somewhere. A car sold for less than
list price is rarely a bargain; invari-
ably that car would be cheaper and
more satisfactory If purchased at full
price. A discount mean a reduction
In value.
The most important function of the
dealer after the car has been deliv-
cred is to give service-free service for
minor adjustments, perhaps, but
prompt and satisfactory service wheth-
err the work be gratis or not. When a
car breaks down, the seriousness OF
the breakage is not truly measured by
It's size or Importance, but by the
money it costs and the time 1t takes
to place the car In running order
again. With this fact in mind it Is
easy to see how essential it is to be
careful in selecting a dealer.

Fairy Tale
A TREE KANGAROO

Far away in Australia lived this
Tree Kangaroo and life to him was
very pleasant.
He was very handsome. His coat
was of thick, long fur and the color
of it was brownish-yellow. His waist
coat was of white though he wore Z
front belt of a pale yellow shade.
His face was black though across
his forehead he had a grayish band
and his ears were black on the OUT
side and yellow inside.
His legs were of a yellow shade
he wore-and his paws were black.
His tail was as long as his body and
his body was of good size.
The children of the family dressed
like the ladies of the family in gray
ish suits, which were simple and
pretty.

Leakage at Pump Boxes
