AUBURN LETS
BUYERS PROVE
\ CAR REAL ONE
Show Week Is Begun
Here; Autos Speak
for Selves.
BY SWEDE SWANSON
Times Automobile Editor

A unique method of letting the
public prove to itself any claims
made for the Auburn automobile is
under way here with the Inaugural
ton of "Show Me" week.
The observance began Sunday
and will last till June II. It is for
the purpose of giving residents of
Indianapolis the easiest possible way
of testing out or "sampling'' the
qualities of Auburn cars.
It is the belief of Auburn officials
that a salesman cannot talk some
thing into car that is not built
into it and that the majority of
automobile buyers are of the same
mind in that respect. Consequently,
the company has made provision
for any resident Of Indianapolis or
vicinity to prove to himself just
what the Auburn car will do.
For the last four years Auburn's
policy has been to build a car so
good that it would sell itself. In
these four years sales have doubled
each year.
1t is the belief of E. L. Cord, pres
ident, that tooay's buyer of an au-
tomobile is using the same business
acumen in buying a car that he
uses in the purchase of bonds or
real estate and that his attitude in
buying an automobile is the same
as in making any other investment
--"Show Mel"
Consequently, "Show Me" week
was planned for the Updyke Auto
Company.
without the slightest obligation.
residents of Indianapolis may call
at an Auburn salesroom and ask for
demonstration or they may ask to
drive an Auburn and make it "show
them" what it will do.
If more convenient, they may
phone Mr.. Updyke and a car will
be sent to their residence.
Roy Faulkner, vice president of
the company in charge of sales. as
sures all inquirers that that Auburn
sales policy during the week will be
adhered to strictly-that if the car
does not sell itself the prospect will
not be asked t. buy.
