together, several lodges here dropping
entirely out of existence, but several

Der of new members, with the result
that both organizations have excellent

Concerning Complaints

THERE are many more pleasant topics
i to discuss with our customers-but we
believe an occasional straightforward talk
on this one will do us all good.
We would rather have complaint than
customer who feels he has grievance
because in knowing about it lies our only
opportunity to set it straight.
If we make mistake, we'll admit and
rectify it. And If the trouble lies with some
unavoidable circumstance, we'll give you
the "why" of it.
We nodestly admit that our complaint
desk is not very busy. But we're out to
give unqualified satisfaction, SO we want
you to understand our viewpoint on COM
plants.

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

The day is gone when a motorist can
go to the garage and attend to every
thing before he goes off with the car
for the day. He's so busy usin' his
car he has only a few minutes to look
it over each day. That's no reason,
however, why he should neglect it.
I'm one of those people who believe
that most car owners give their ma
chimes too much of the wrong kind Of
attention and not enough of the kind
that really counts. It doesn't worry
me to see the time limit on car care
reduced. My concern is with the way
owners use the time they have.
Here's Il man with the thought on
his mind that If the battery is not
fully charged it may freeze in the cold
garage. He has a lot of things he
wants TO do about the car, and many
Of them are vastly more important.
Still he takes the time and trouble to
read the specific gravity of the bat
terry electrolyte with his hydrometer.
It's all waste effort, because he is
going to go on long ride for the day.
The battery will be chargin' all the
while. and thus automatically putin

ADJUSTING SNUBBERS.
Best Time to Inspect Them Is Be.
ginning Of Winter.

Stumbling devices usually need at
tention about once a year. and the
best time to attend to this is at the
beginning of the Winter season, since
the snow and ice covered streets will
mean rough riding for the car. The
usual thing is to remove the snubbing
devices. or whatever they happen to
be trade marked: clean, grease and re-
adjust them. Where grease Is neces-
sary. the car owner had better not
try the work himself, since grease in
the wrong place will render the de.
vices useless.

Other Considerations Cited.

Secondly, the manufacturer must
know that the dealer organization is
properly merchandising the used
cars, thereby building up public good
will for future sales outlets. Thirdly.
the automobile manufacturer should
assist the dealer organization in the
formulating of sales and service
policies for used cars, the same as
has been done in the past for the
new automobiles. The interralation-
ship between new and used car mer-
chandiSing has become so closely
allied that neither the manufacturer
nor the automobile dealer should
think of one without the other.
The automobile business has
demonstrated its ability to meet and
properly handle its fundamental
problems in the past, and there Is no
question but that the raising of the
standards for merchandising used
cars will be taken care of with the
ever-resutant benefit to the .automo-
bile-buying public-improved trans
portation at the lowest possible cost

USED-CAR PROBLEM
UP FOR SOLUTION
Automobile Manufacturer
Says 1t Should Have First
Consideration in 1926.

A plea for concentrated attention Of
manufacturers and dealers on the
used-car problem during 1926 is voiced
by Il. II. Grant, vice president of the
Chevrolet Motor Co.
an 1926 the used-car market should
be given first consideration by all au-
tomooile manufacturers and automo.
bile Dealers" declares Mr.. Grant.
During the last few years the auto
mobilebuying public has demon
strdted its buying power for used cars
aS we'll as new cars, but the new car
sales have been possible in record
breaking numbers only because Of the
absorption by the public Of the thou.
sands of miles of economical trans
portation available in the used-car
market.
Tremendous new car production
schedules can only be maintained in
the next succeeding years through
continued merchandising of the used
cars. The automobile business has
now arrived at the point where used
car merchandising has become as
important as the selling of new au
tomobiles. The automobile dealer can
only move his quota of new automo-
hiles if he can sell his used cars. The
manufacturer can only maintain his

Benefit to Car Purchasers.
This situation in the automobile
industry will be 4 very direct benefit
10 car purchasers. because, in 1ddi
ton to the necessity of maintaining
proper sales and service facilities to
win the confidence and good will of
the public in the merchandising of
new motor cars, the automobile deal
er Is now of necessity forced to pro-
vide these same facilities for the mer-
chandising of his used cars. The re-
suit will be better display of the
used cars, proper mechanical as well
as appearance recondit.oning Of the
used cars before offering for sale,
and a responsible backing of this
merchandise after delivery to the
usedcar buyer.
The automobile dealers alone can
not handle the used-car problem.
Automobile manufacturers must give
more study and consideration to the
merchandising of used cars than ever
before. There are many reasons for
this from the manufacturer stand.
point First, new car production
schedules cannot he made with a con-
fident knowledge that these schedules
can be shipped to dealers unless the
manufacturer knows the number of
used cars in the hands of his deal
erS and the ability of the dealer or
ganization to sell used cars.

Old Reapportionment
BugabOO Again Looms

1t is possible that a reapportion-
ment bin will be passed by the pres
ent Congress. II this is done, 1t will
be UP to the Legislature to pass bill
to redistrict the State, for 1t Is prac-
ically certain that when reappos-
tlonment does come, the Maine rep
resentation will be cut from four to
three. This will mean that one of
the present quartet will have to drop
out.
Two plans for dividing Maine into
three Congressional districts have
been considered. One is to form
coast district from York, Cumber-
land. Sagadahoc, Lincoln and Knox
counties and split the rest of the
State between the other two. The
oher Is to add oxford and possibly
Sagadahoc to Cumberland and York
for the first district and again split
the remainder Of the State for the
remaining two.
The popula ton Of the State is $780,
1l9. The Lnr-e districts would then
be approximately of 100000 persons
each. The combined population of
Oxford, Cumberland and Sagadahoc
counties Is 255,600 Androscoggin,
Hancock. Kennebec. Somerset, Knox
and Lincoln have 25S.SO0, leaving
266,000 Tor the third, composed of the
remaining counties Of Aroostook,
Piscataquis. Penobscot, Waldo, and
Washington. This ARRANGEMENT
would leave Representative Beedy
and Hersey untroubled but would not
look as well to Mr.. Nelson and Mr..
White.
The coast district plan contem-
plates first district of Cumberland.
York. Sagadahoc, Lincoln, and Knox
with a population of $4,000; second
district, consisting of Kennebec. OK
ford, Androscoggin, Franklin and
Somerset population 245.O0O with the
remaining six counties for the third.

tween the present second and third
district representatives.
