Swede Is Quick to Purchase a Kissel-Kar Salesman Thought He Was Looking for a Job, but He Proves Buyer. O. X. Carruthers, manager of the Inter-Mountain Motor Car company, local KistsolKar distributors, comes forward with the following srory on Thoma? M. Kay, who markets KisselKars in Colorado: Colo-rado: A seedy looking Swede came into Ray 'a place at Denver and Htood looking look-ing at the most expensive KisselKar in the place, a special show jol with "fixin's" that brought the price close to -;00. Tom thought he wanted a job as a washer or waa .just an ordinary elastic nock, hut walked tip to him and inquired j if there wan anything he could do. ' "Dot's a nice car,' he replied as he pointed toward the large, shiny boat. It was a dull timo of the dav and Ray decided de-cided to practice up on the Swede. "Yes, dot's a nice car," he would reply to everything the dealer said. Tom was called to the phone. On his return he saw the Swede under the car, flat on his back, smoking his little black pipe. "Yes, dot's a nice car," he said as he crawled out. and dusted off his coat. Tom decided to humor his visitor and finally took him around the block. And as they drove up in front of the place a fat woman and five little tow-headed kids came up to meet them. The woman looked at the Swede in an inquisitive manner and he looked at her and said, "Yes, dot's a nice car." Tom loaded the whole family into the car as a joke and took them a few blocks and as the Swede stepped out he remarked, ' ' Yes, dot 's a nice car; i take her." The popular auto agent almost al-most dropped dead when from a battered old handbag the wife of the Swede extracted ex-tracted the price in $10 and $20 bills and passed it over like so many scraps of paper.
