AUTO JUBILEE YEAR
MOTORDOM TOPIC
A. A. A. Urges Cooperation
of Manufacturer, Dealer and
Owner to Insure Success.

Placing the development of CO.
operation between automobile manu-
faCturer. dealer and owner above all
other assets of motordom as the in
dustry celebrates its silver jubilee
throughout the country, the American
Automobile Association accordingly
predicts q new type of success for
motordom, in a bulletin just issued
from its national headquarters in this
city.
Cooperation has been the keynote
of motoring's amazing growth in
America. the bulletin points out, and
it is the automotive asset which as
sures the country of definite solu-
ton to the many problems which are
temporarily clouding the horizon.
View OF General CO-Operati0n.
According to Thomas 2. Henry, presi-
dent of the A A A, the automotive
business stands first in cooperation
between producer, retailer and con-
sumer This, he says, is the result
of successful organization efforts on
the part of the three human factors
in the industry.
What the manufacturers, the dealers
and the car owners could not do in
dividually i'll the way of cooperation
they have done. and are doing,
through organization" Mr.. Henry
declares. This is the day of organ
ization, and nothing proves it more
than the three leading automotive
organizations that are helping the
whole of motoring get together
Through the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce automobile
manufacturers have been enabled, not
only to cooperate with each other in
the solution of industrial. problems
affecting motordom, but TO cooperate
with their dealers and their consumers.
The National Automobile Dealers
Association untanGles the problems
that would otherwise result in in
creased costs, poor service and
Orphaned cars. The American Auto
mobile Association completes the
picture by helping the motorist use
and enjoy his car.
Sitting Out of Practical Ideas.
"These organizations. sitting out
the most practical ideas and sugges-
tions from their large memberships,
are able to offer to each other the
most concrete form of assistance.
Thus we find the \. A. c. c. cooper
ating in an effort to solve the acct
dent problem, the y. \. D. A. CO.
operating in an effort to stabilize the
retail trade to the advantage of all.
and the A A. A. uniting its affiliated
motor clubs into coast-to-coast
touring service unparalleled in the
history Of transportation.
'It should be obvious to the m otorist
that the success of such cooperation
rests very largely upon association
strength. The stronger these asso-
Citations are the quicker our motoring
problems will be solved. The day has
passed when the individual car
owner can expect to see progress
through individual conference with
individual members of the industry or
the trade.
"In addition to all the direct bene-
fits which car owner receives in the
way of touring information, legal ad
vice, emergency road service, hcens
ing, etc, when he joins his local auto
mobile club he automatically obtains
the cooperation of those who make
and sell the cars he buys 1t is or
<ganization that makes this co-opera-
@tion possible. 1t is the big motor
asset of the day, and the most eff
fective thing any car owner can do
during 1925 is to seek to enlist the
help of other car owners in making
II still greater"
