DEALERS DISCARD
SPEED ADVERTISING
Many Said to Be Finding
Public Wants Wide Range
: of Motor Performance.

Automobile advertising is discard
ing as unsatisfactory the practice OF
emphasizing a cars capability of pro
ducing unusual speed.
So believes Osca" Coolican. local
automobile dealer. who holds TO the
theory that the chief purpose of auto
mobile advertising should be the sale
of transportation rather than auto.
motive gymnastics.
Throughout the period when speed
has been stressed in automobile adver-
Using, there has been a psychologist
challenge to the public to attempt to
duplicate the speed records claimed
by automobile manufacturers says
Mr. Coolican. This influence has. no
doubt, been exaggerated. but it has
had no uncertain effect upon certain
types of drivers and its effect has not
been exactly conducive to safety.
In all fairness to the automobile
maker who has used this form of adj
vertising. it must be said that creation
of new highway hazards is the last
thing he desires He has sincere in
terest in advancing safety and has
emphasized speed largely as the test
for measuring his cars endurance and
reliability.
His purpose is honest and may
have seemed logical. but the great
ma jority of car buyers do not seem to
demand excessive speed as Charac-
teristic Of the machine they desire to
own. They want a fairly wide range
in their cars performance. but as for
dema nding it to be able to do so miles
an hour, they realize the futility of
ever driving safely at that rate even
n the machine were capable of going
50 fast.
1T has been interesting to note that
the cars rated as the best all-around
performers-the machines which every
motorist expects to own when he can
affo: d lido not lay any emphasis on
the speed side in their advertising.
Vet, these cars are undoubtedly the
fastest made in America except reSu-
lar speedway machines. They are
sold on the representation that they
are the ultimate in transportation
value and the success of their adver
Using Is becoming increasingly OBJ
vious and is being followed more and
more by manufacturers of lower
priced makes"

1t is with real pleasure that the
Gardner Motor Co., Inc, of St.
Louis, announce the appointment of
the Irwin T. Denohoe Motor Com
pany as Washington, D. c., distribu-
tors for the Gardner Eight-in-line
and Gardner Six.
The men at the head of the Irwin T.
Donohoe Motor Company have en-
joyed long and successful careers as
automobile merchants. From the
very beginning they have proceeded
on the theory that satisfied custom
ers are the only solid foundation on
which to build successful business.
1t was their stand in this respect that
first brought them to the attention
of Gardner officials, and was large
ly responsible for their recent ap-
pointment.

BREAKING IN USED CARS.
Careful Attention Needed. Since
All Drivers Are Different.

With the possible exception Of auto
mobiles which have been employed as
demonstrators. the wares of the used
car mart require special attention I'M
I'll they are properly seasoned and
acclimated to their new environment.
This may be a new idea in car owner
ship, but the need for better service
and care for used cars is as old as the
hrst trade.in. Because drivers have
their peculiarities, there is no reason
to expect that because a car has been
a success in the hands of the original
owner 1t will be equally good in the
hands of another. Breaking in
used car carefully is as essential as
with q new machine.

By John Gabriel Soltis

News of a very moinous character
is coming out Of Iowa lately. The
farmers are in full revolt against ex-
listing conditions in that state. This
is extremely significant to say the
least. For the farmers of that state
have lived in a sort of a political
coma, during the last couple of de-
cades.
The basis of their rebellion is, of
course, economic, as it is of all re
bellions. 1t pertains to the price of
their corn, which is very low, de-
spite the Wall Street administration
in Washington.
Conditions are certainly very dis
tressing for the Iowa farmers today,
as they are for farmers everywhere
under capitalism. However, they are
particularly acute with the. farmer il
Iowa. In fact they are intOleTable.
At the present writing he is getting
the munifcent sum of less than fifty
cents per bushel for his corn. Now
it costs him exactly $1.25 per bushel
to raise that corn. This is calculated
on the assumption that that he is en-
titled to a return upon his capital
and a "fair" price for his labor, just
as if he was a regular Rabbit business
man.
Now the difference between a SIPS
cost production price, and so cents
sales price, is IS cents. That means
that under the Coolidge capitalist adj
ministration, the Iowa farmer is
paying a premium OF rs cents to the
capitalist. for the grand and noble
purpose Of inducing the parasites to
pay him so cents per bushel for his
corn. Truly, conditions arc bad in
Soviet Russia.
But the capitalist politicians are
not behind hand, they ALWAYS sense
the real danger. Therefore the Cool
idge forces hasten tc, "save" the corn
huskers How? Very simply.
a bill is introduced in Congress to

er. This remedy is always to hand.

Iowa Farmers Rising

j is like expecting blood from a tur-
NIP. 1t isn't there.
The farmers OF Iowa want an ex-
port corporation, as a governmental
institution. 1t is a radical PROPOSE
ton like everything that is worth
while 1t smacks of Socialism. As
a matter of fact, the SOviets have
just such an export corporation for
the farmers of Russia, only somewhat
broader and deeper. Therefore, it is
clear, the tendency of Iowa is in a
sort of a Communist direction. Now,
what happens?
It is reported that the entire Iowa
delegation in Congress, is en- route
home; to pacify the revolving farmers
with lot Of soft soap. We shall
