USED CAR is GREATEST
BARGAIN In MOTOR HISTORY

THE greatest bargains in the mo-
tor industry's history" is the man.
ner in which used cars of today are
characterized by Benjamin II. Cram,
nutomotive authority and economist.
in the current issue of his national
dealer service, "Cram's Facts and Fac.
tors" Mr.. Cram declares that the
average used car of today has in it
more value than the average new car
of ten years ago, despite the fact that
it is selling at the lowest used car
priced ever recorded.
To-day presents the greatest bar
gain opportunities for the man seeking
used car" says Mr.. Cram. "This
results from the changes that have oc-
CURED and are occurring in the used
car market and in the attitude of
people selling or buying used cars.
OPEN CAR BARGAINS.
'For some time back, and continu.
ing today, there has been a gigantic
landslide the country over from open
to closed cars. This has brought into
the used car market, long before they
ordinarily would have reached it, hun
dreds of thousands of open cars which
are comparatively new and in first
class shape and which have in them a
number of years of excellent service.
These are being traded in for closed
cars. This landslide right now is at
its peak, because many open car own
ers desire to drive closed cars during
the coming cold weather.

MARMON'S FOREIGN
SALES ON INCREASE

An indication of the growth of the
foreign trade of Nordyke & Marmon
Company is given by f. s. Gorrell,
vice president. in the announcement
that foreign shipments of Marmon
cars for the first six months of 1925
are more than double the foreign
shipments for the first six months Of
1924 and that present indications
point to 1925 as the largest year in
point of foreign exports in the history
of the company. according TO the En-
bleton Motor Company. The actual
increase of foreign shipments for the
six months period Sas 114.2S per
cent. Colonel Gorrell said.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-29

I'm addition, thousands OF almost
unusued cars of both open and closed
types. in most cases in the lower
priced class, are being traded in for
more powerful cars, the price of which
has been sharply reduced since mid
summer.
YEARS OF LIFE LEFT.
"The result is that today there are
untold numbers of excellent used cars
on the market, which have more serv.
ice and long years of life in them
and which are available TO the buyer
at prices lower than he has ever be-
fore experienced. Further adding to
this lower price situation is the fact
that the landslide of cars into the
used car market has compelled many
dealers and distributors to offer them
at the price at which they were taken
in rather than to hold them for a
higher price only to find themselves
with an manageable number of used
cars on hand. Also the dullest car
selling season of the year is on hand
and dealers prefer to make no profit
rather than later take losses on their
used car stocks.
1T is possible that never again will
buyers of used cars have the oppor-
tunity to pick up the bargains that
are now available. Certainly they
never again will be able to receive
such high return in high quality,
long life and unused mileage for their
dollar"

the Nordyke & Marmon Company. ac-
cording to an announcement by Fl. IL.
Brooks, general director Of sales. NJ.
Chamberlain brings TO the Marmon
company an extensive experience in

He is best known. perhaps. as th'
father Of the flat rate service plan
which is now used universally by au-
tomobile manufacturers. distributors
and dealers. As general manager Of a
large automobile distributing firm in
Denver. Mr.. Chamberlain conceived
the idea of putting the various. sery-
ice operations on a flat rate basis. He
met with almost overwhelming or
position in his attempt TO secure GER
eral adoption Of the plan but he fought
for it consistently until its merits fl
nally were recognized and the plan
was nut into practice.

MOON SALES SHOW
II PER CENT GAIN

Moon sales for October are Y per
cent ahead Of the sales for October,
1924, according TO W. r. Brashear, as
sistant general sales manager of the
Moon Motor Car company, who in a
recent interview said both Moon and
Diana sales for October are far ahead
Of expectations and the very fact that
the Moon plant is now running at
regular capacity during what is usual
" considered a slump period is indica-
five Of the strong demand for Moon
and Diana cars.
"Closed cars comprise the greater
volume of the October sales. however.
in both Florida and California there
is still a big demand for roadsters
and the Moon plant is taxed to the
utmost TO take care Of the big volume
of closed business and the roadster
business. in addition to this Florida
and California roadster business. our
plant is still working on roadster back
orders from numerous other sections
Of the country"

MORE SCHOOLS
TEACH AUTO
SERVICE
Chevrolet Doubling Its
Institutions of
Instruction.

The service promotion department of
the Chevrolet Motor Company, in its
work of establishing throughout the
nation uniform standard of service
for Chevrolet owners, is doubling the
number of Chevrolet service instruc-
ton schools, according to the Smith
Motor Sales Company.
Before the first of the year it is
expected that 20 of these schools will
be in operation. Through their pains
taking instruction of mechanics, fore.
men and proprietors of Chevrolet serv-
ice stations the schools are assuring to
every Chevrolet owner the highest de-
gree Of continued driving satisfaction.
j.. p. Little, manager of parts and
service for the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany. has Joined and co-ordinated the
field force of his service promotion d.
vision, with the service schools.
IS INSTRUCTORS.
Formerly the two were operated in
dependently. Now IS men are en-
gagged in the joint work of school in
struction and service promotion.
Separate courses of one week each
are given at the service schools for
Chevrolet mechanics, service foremen
and service station owners. The me-
chanics work under skilled instructors
in model shops. Using precision equip
ment, they are shown the quickest and
most efficient manner of doing all
servicing operations. The course for
service foremen is slightly more COM
prehensive, while that for service sta.
ton owners goes into such details ns
shop layout, service department adj
ministration. maintenance of parts
stocks, the flat rate system, account
keeping, etc.
REDUCE COSTS.
"The service schools and the service
promotion department work hand in
hand" said Mr.. Little. a dealer,
having seen n model Chevrolet shop in
operation at the school, usually is al
ready sold when n service promotion
representative later visits him and sug-
gests that he rearrange his service de-
partment in accordance with one OF
the several Chevrolet model plans and
install the latest specially designed
Chevrolet precision tools. He know;
that the move will reduce his costs and
increase his business.
If dealer wants a model service
department, the service promotion rep
resentative directs the work without
charge and remains until it is installed
and in satisfactory operation. SO many
dealers have entered requests for tn,
model service stations that the depart
ment is several weeks behind in thu
work of installation"

"WHEEL OF SAFETY"

Driving, parking, starting, stop
ping, the guiding hand of the car is
the steering gear. On the steering
mechanism of the car depends the
safety and the comfort of the occu-
pants of the car as well as the safety
of pedestrians. Safe steering means
safe driving.
''The cam-and-lever type of steering
gear is easily adaptable to the woman
drivers every whih. Then she can
cruise in a sea of traffic minus worry
over her cars steering gear. After
strenuous shopping expedition, the
woman driver of Moon car can cas-
lily 'unpark' her car with just a few
twirls Of the wheel.
I'm addition to the new type OF
steering gear the equipment OF the
1925 Moon cars includes four-wheel
hydraulic brakes and a new doice, q

the steering wheel. making it unneces-
sary TO remove the hand from the
wheel when switching the lights on or
