Definite Selling Plan
By e. T. STRONG
General Sales Manager Buick
Motor Company

The automobile shows offer a
fruitful field to the man who
studies the motor car industry.
This is not only because practically
all makes of cars are displayed
there, but because it is meeting
ground for the people who are in
terested in the actual use of the
cars.
It is this big human throng that
offers the opportunity to study and
to observe. Every gathering of
people has its keynote and the crowd
at the automobile shows is no ex-
ception. 1t is good-natured crowd,
with plenty of leisure, and it sights
but few exhibits.
It is only in the undercurrent of
its shrewd questioning that you
win find its keynote.
Comparisons Always Made
The prime object of the visitors
ID comparison, and it is very sig
uificant to note how big q majority
OF them have adopted the Buick
comparison You will hear them
asking such questions as Is that
spring suspension as good as the
Buick % Has this engine a much
power as the Buick valve-in-h ead?"
This is q condition that has
existed for good many years past.
but never has it been so pronounced
as II is today. It is a condition
that naturally results from consist
emily adhering to definite standards
Of excellence long enough for the
public to become thoroughly ac-
Quainted with these standards.
Every industry has names and
brands that stand out above the
rest. and have consequently become
known as the best values. They
do not achieve this position in q
short time. but advance little at
. time until they are firmly estab-
lished.
This position, once obtained. must
be held by the same means that Sc

Farmer In Good Condition.
The farmer today is in better
position than he has occupied for
several years past. Crops, on the
whole, have been entirely gatisfac-
tory and with the opening Of the
European market. closed for the
past several years, grain has
reached a price that makes It
profitable for the farmer. Rail-
road tonnage in all sections Of the
country has shown a. marked in
crease in the past two months.
Another indication Of business
activity lies In a report by one Of
