Drifting Farmers

DISC0NTENTED Middle Western farmers used to

The lure of Western Canada is on the wane. Canadian

ryiie agencies, according to Charles
J. George, president of the Clifton
George Motor company, who has just
returned to San Antonio after an ex-
tended business trip to eastern and
northern cities.
Northern and Eastern dealers, 4"
said Mr.. George, "have more used
cars on hand than southern dealers.
Not only is this fact, but it is also
true that southern dealers cars are in
better condition, are later in models
and have a higher resale vaue.
After my observations in the
plants OF some of the most successful
automobile dealers in the cities
visited l have concluded that the solu-
ton Of the used car problem lies in
putting used car departments on the
same basis as new car departments.
BY this l mean utilizing the follow up
system on prospects, soliciting for
used car business just as we do new
car business, and selling the used car
abOlutely on its merits and without
exaggeration or Misrepresentation.
II believe the buyer of the used car
