Have you ever compared a
kilo-watt hour with other forms
Of work, for instance one kilo-
watt hour is more work than
any man can do in a day; for
the cost Of one cigarette you can
have perfect refrigeration for
several hours. Electricity is SO

appreciate how much they can
get for so little money.

all, but tribute to the value repres-
ented which the new models represent.
"Not only the late model used cars,
but our entire stock, are sold under a
plan which gives the buyer reliable
assurance that each unit has been
carefully checked and reconditioned,"
Mr.. Duncan said. Chevrolet pioneer
ed in the movement to provide such
assurance of satisfaction, devising
the OK Tag plan more than a decade
ago. Today, the great majority Of
all used cars cold by Chevrolet deal
ers are sold under this plan.

LATE MODELS
CAUSE PEOPLE
TO PURCHASE

"A lot of people changed their
minds"
This was the seven-word explana-
ton offered by Mr.. Lynwood Dun
can of Duncan Brothers, Chevrolet
dealers, for the fact that so many
late-model Chevrolets and other
makes are available at the leadership
this winter.
Almost constantly, ever since in
PRODUCTION of the new 1910 models, a
large proportion of the cars in the
company's used car stocks have been
recent models-one, two or three
years old. There are numerous 1885
Chevrolets, featuring the vacuum pow
er shift, as we'll as several 1889 mod
els of other makes. GALL" Mr.. Dun
can said, because people changed
their minds"
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1940-02-09

After each new. model announce
ment," he explained, "every dealer
recognizes two general kinds of buy
ers. One is the group which had
planned in advance of the new car
presentation to take delivery of new
car when the latter came out. The
other is the group which had no such
intentions, but which, after seeing the
new models, decided to buy and get
the benefit of the advances built into
the new line.
"From this second group, generally
speaking, come our Al used cars, the
very cream of the CROP This is only
natural. The fact that they planned
no new car investment at this time
is assurance that they were satisfied
with the cars they were already driv-
ing. The fact that they changed is
not a reflection on their old cars at

ERRORS
In our weekly Broadcast, errors
often occur. Sometimes there are err
rors in punctuation, sometimes in cap
italization, and sometimes in gram
mar. Last week the relative pro-
noun "who" was used to refer to a
"duck." All of us know "who" re-
fers to persons. For animals, birds,
or things, the pronouns (which" and
"that" should be used. If all report
ers will please complete their articles
for the Broadcast on Friday and give
them to the Editor-in- Chief, fewer
errors will apear in our Broadcast.
