QUANTITY SERVICE
PRODUCTION URGED
Motorists Could Save Money
by Sending Cars to
4 Garage Regularly.

Quantity production which put au-
tomoiles In the hands of more than
10000, 900 Americans at amazingly
low cost is expected now to grant the
same boon in the matter of greatly
reduced service charges. Repairing
and trouble prevention are going on
q quantity basis, and the tendency is
being reflected in the lower operating
expense Of the automobile, according
TO the latest view in automobile cir
cles.
The trend is not without its OBJ
stacles, however, dealers and service
experts declare. One of the foes of
the new system is the car owner who
decides to do his own servicing,
which tends to break down the guam
tity idea and makes 1t doubly diff
cult to offer major service work at
low figures.
Commenting on the new develop
ment Oscar Coolican, local Packard
dealer, says:
THE shops that can turn out the
biggest jobs in the shortest time and
ut the lowest rates commensurate
with guaranteed work are the ones
that are handling the greatest num-
more the small jobs are regular and
not spasmodic. The most successful
manufacturer aims to keep produc-
ton at the same peak week after
week. II is the same with successful
eervicing.
"Just as soon as service, in gen.
eral. is on a quantity basis 1t is rea-
sonable to expect that we shall see
the same benefits to the service buy
er as we have seen in the case of
the car buyer. When individuals
were buying cars as they happened
to have had money enough to indulge
in transportation production was as
spasmodic as it was limited and
prices were high. We are just get
ting out of this period in service and
soon should reach a point where any
motorist will be able to obtain the
finest work in record time and at
surprisingly low figures"

Yesterday, Boy Scouts found the
body of the girl floating in the pond,

couple might have eloped. A call
