Automobile Dealer
Must Be Good Judge

(By z. 7. Strong. General Sales
Manager)
Quick Motor Company
Being men Of experience and
familiar with what the public needs
and demands, automobile dealers
will naturally gravitate toward the
company that is most successful IN
supplying the public's requirements.
The tiuctuating dealer earns no
recognition from the local banker.
nor does he build UP a clientele OF
satisfied customers who will be an
asset to him in the years to come.
He is utterly unable to cash In on
the cumulative benefits accruing
from the cars he sold in previous
seasons. because by taking on other
lines of cars he has automatically
divorced himself from his former
customers.
1t goes without saying that the
dealer must be a good judge OF
motor cars, and of motor car values.
The selection Of the right car to
handle is the most important de-
cision he has to make, for upon this
selection his whole future rests.
The mere invitation to come again"
is not sufficient to bring his CUSTOM
crs back when they are again in the
MAJ net. HeS Will return VI tilclI
own accord If they get the right kind
of service from their cars and the
right kind of attention from the
dealer.
The dealer goes into business to
make money, the same as any other
business man. He markets his cars
in a certain territory. He gets a
certain commission from the sale of
the cars. The less trouble the cars
are to him in a service way. the less
they will cost him to maintain and
the more his standing will grow in
that community.
So 1t behooves the dealer to rep
resent the very best make of auto
mobiles that he can effect a connec-
ton with. His reputation will never
exceed that of the car he represents,
and his effort should be to handle
the car that will give him the great
est prestige with the greatest num-
Der of buyers and the least trouble
TO his owners and himself.
In other words, when his name Is
mentioned In his community. 1t is
not sufficient that people should
connect it with automobiles.
To be of real. substantial benefit
to him in business way, people
should connect his name with a
certain make of automobile. Then.
whatever prestige attaches to that
make of automobile is naturally re-
fected favorably on him and his
place of business. and this prestige
Will grow and grow as the car be-
comes better known in his territory.

Enchanting Dinner Gown
Departs From Satin, Crepe

An enchanting dinner gown which
departs from the fashionable satins
and crepes Is made Of white nous
seine de sole all in one piece, and is
embroidered with delicate all-over
pattern in pearls, silver and rhine
stones. An appearance Of drapery is
attained with large motif of the
jeweled trimming placed low in front
to hold the material slightly into full,
ness below the line of the hips.
Gold and silver are much used in
both black and white. Some Of the
gowns elaborated in this manner are
magnificent. A few are regal with
costly jeweled passementeries overlap
ping bands of gold and silver, some
times used merely as background.
Large oriental and fantastic designs
are embroidered in silver and gold
threads on evening gowns and wraps,
giving an effect quite as fanciful and
ornate as needlework from the Far
East 1t is not unusual to see strips
Of gold embroidered all over in rhine
stones and applique in different ways.

Tailored Chiffon Frocks
Among Spring Favorites

One of the outstanding phases of

that are distinctly tailored in appear
ance. The popular little two-piece
model that might be said to dominate
the styles of the present .eason has
recently appeared in a totally different
guise. Trim and tailored in line with
its long tight or peasant sleeves and
its skirt with an inverted plat in
front it retains all the practical quail
ties of a jersey frock but has a GER
tain femininity about it that is most
engaging.
The distinctive feature Of these tai
lored frocks of georgette is that In a
number of cases they are fashioned of
two thicknesses of the material. This
does away with the transparent effect
and brings out the becoming quality
Of the fabric.
