Distributors hear talk by President of General Tire

■ , U BroOp&WL. z W. O’Neil (above), president of the General Tire & Rubber Co., is one of a nunils-r of officials ot the company who have been addressing district sale* conferences of company distributorsand salesmen throughout the country. Mr. Janies Kherson, of the Elberson Service Station, this city, local distributor for the General Tire, has just returned home from Akron, Ohio, where he attended a two-day sales conference at the general offhees of the General Tire and Rubber Co. He was one of about 200 General t're dealers and dealers’ salesmen who attended this conference, at which representatives were present from cities anil towns in Ohio, Kentucky, ‘ Michigan, Indiana, New Ymk. Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. W. (J'Neil. president of the General Tire and Rubber company, addressed the dealers ami salesmen at several sewions. Pres'dent O’Neil asserted that the chain-store system, as far as it applies to the sale of commodities that should be accompanied by service, has proved to be inadequate. He declared that independent dealers. w<ho can supply necessary service, are essential for the most successful merchandising of automobile tires. "An automobile hire is a technical thing,’’ he pointed out. “The local agent must have knowledge of engineering to do a real job. "Varied conditions prevail over tlie country. The right size tire must be soCd. Wheels must be aligned. There are different types of tires for different services. A t’re can lie given too little or 100 much air pressure. “We are satisfied that we are producing the best tire but it must be treated right, put on right, and given the liest chance to reveal its supremacy. Tlie dealer should see to it that the purchaser gets the kind of tire lie ought to have. “This naturally leads to the pr > po iition that the independent dealer is the most desirable. He has pride in his business He exemplifies the spirit of America, the land of opportunity. "Americans are naturally rebels. They and their forefathers came l« this country, rebelling against, too-great'y centralized power, royalty, exclusiveness, and stifling of individual endeavor. “To my mind, the chain store ■system, as far as it applies to the sale of commodities that should be accompanied by service, is a system that Americans could not Ije expected to like." Among others who addressed the conference were W. E. Fouse and Charles J. Jahant, vice presidents; S. S. Boor, general sales manager; Ben Heer, assistant sales manager; A. B. Stiller, advertising manager; and Frank Gable, factory engineer. South Bend Work will lie start ed immediately on' a new $400,(M0 building for the Law School of the University of Notre Dame.
