Again, in the matter of repainting and repair. The individual dealer has not the room to do much of this work He may offer a car for sale wheai it is badly in need of repainting and thorough overhauling. The buyer, naturally, is not impressed with a car that has not been rejuvenated, and demands that a low price be made him. With the clearing house, there would be facilities for thorough overhauling and refimshing all the cars brought in. so that the buyer; would get a car that had already been put into excellent shape. He would be willing to pay more for a car in this condition, and could afford to do so, for he would know Just exactly what the car would cost him.

I know that you and all of our distributors have access to both the physical and mental features of the selling outlook. I want to tell you, therefore, a few things that have appealed to me, and then what I have seen and heard. First, this nation is enthusiastic about getting this war Job done. If energy is momentarily expended in wrong directions by some individuals, it only emphasizes the Intensity of the desire to do something. I believe that as we all become accustomed to the situation we will realize that the actual fighting must be done by comparatively few of us. The beat way for the rest to help is to undertake with equal determination to grow more crops, manufacture more, advertise more, sell more, spend more In proper channels in other words, extend ourselves to the limit to make the biggest, soundest business structure In the history of the world as the to the possible strongest support fighting men that we so keenly want to help. Then the aggregate wealth of the country is greater than at any time in its history. There is work for everybodys labor is higher than ever before. There is more money to spend and mor? things worth spending it for. People are not going to do without the things they want when they have the money and the market answers the needs. dollar we are Practically every loaning our allies Is merely an extension of credit for expenditure in this country.

"It is the bounden obligation of the farmer to raise more crops, of the manufacturer of necessities to make more goods, of the railroads to transportation facilities, of the middle man to keep production moving. of the doctor at home to take care of the patients of the doctor at the front of every man to carry on his work with more speed and more skill. Everyone must be an actual or contributing producer and in the latter class I can think of none more Important than the man who sells automobiles. "I believe that by putting automobiles in the hands of new owners, or selling present owners cars that will serve them better, I am doing a real service to the government. I believe that each and every salesman who is not drafted for military duty will be able right here to contribute a creditable share toward winning the war. "In order to strike the pace that makes for greater efficiency, the doctor. the farmer, the manufacturer, the salesman In fact every man whose work takes him out of doors needs a car.
