NATIONAL USED CAR WEEK lu sponsoring National Used Car Week the automobile industry la doing a vital service to the nation. When the history of the present recession comes to be written, it may surprisingly be recorded that the upturn began in March, coincident with the national effort of the industry to liquidate its used car stocks, improve new car sales and start the factory wheels turning again at full speed. The automobile industry is a major factor in the national economy. Upon it such industries as steel, rubber, petroleum, glass, textiles and many others depend for an important share of their business. When the motor industry is boomI Ing the country booms. When it slows up so does business throughout the nation. What happened to the automobile industry last fall is common . knowledge today. Used cars clogged the market as winter came on. I New car sales slowed down because dealers could no longer handle trade-ins in normal volume. Unable to move out new cars, manufacturers were forced to restrict production. Thousands of ! wage earners were thrown out of work or put on part-time schedules. Business hesitation developed. The average citizen drew his purse strings, waited to see what was going to happen. That is what is the matter with business today. No one is to blame. The law of ( supply and demand hasn’t yet been I repealed. Now the automobile industry has determined courageously to attack : the problem at its source, to stimulate used car sales so that normal production of new cars can be | resumed. National Used Car Week has a solid foundation. Wise men buy when prices are lowest. Never before has the industry been able to offer such a wide selection of modern used cars at rock-bottom prices. Next week will offer the American public a golden opportunity to buy a better car. Mr. Alvan Macauley, speaking

Local Dealers Pledge Cooperation In Big Used Car Campaign

Complete cooperation in local observance of National Used Car Week was pledged today by P. A. Kuhn Chevrolet Co., P. Kirsch & Son, Phil L. Macklin & Co. and Al I). Schmitt Motor Sales. “We are confident that National Used Car W’eek will be an unqualified success here," they said. “Used car stocks on hand provide a wide range of the best values in the history of the industry and prices are at rock bottom." "We have just completed our arrangements fbr the opening of the campaign. Stocks have been reconditioned. Our salesrooms and used car lots have been refurnished, banners hung. Our sales lorce has been augmented. We are ready for the biggest spring selling season we have experienced in several years.” “Many motorists could be paying for a better used car with the money they are now wasting in buying gasoline for inefficient engines." Two factors contribute to the extra cost of running obsolete cars. Even if an old model stood in a garage all its life, it still would refer the automobile industry, told the whole story in his announcement. Said he: “Too many unsafe, worn-out, upreliable cars, without modern safety brakes, safety glass, large . tires and steel bodies, are in opera- ; tion today. Too many are costly to operate. “Many of these cars can be re--1 placed during National Used Car [ Week—to the great advantage of the buyer—with newer, up-to-date cars, without initial investment ■ beyond the owners present car, and on terms which suit the pocketbook of the average person. These cars offer modern equipment, and a good investment in comfort, safety and economy.” "■

■ quire more gasoline to run a mile r than its late-model rival. This is due . to the great advances in engine det sign and construction achieved by 1 automobile manufacturers In recent years. 1 The other factor, these dealers ' pointed out. is that the old car, as 1 ft was driven, gradually became 3 less efficient, due to wear of work- ■ ing parts and to loss of proper ad--3 justment. To recondition such a car would cost more than it is worth, • they asserted. 3 To illustrate the false economy of driving an obsolete car, many old • cars make only nine miles to the gallon and. in traveling xO.OOO mil1 es, will use 1,111 gallons of gaso--3 line. Many of the late-model used 3 cars will average 16 miles to the gallon and thus will use only 625 5 gallons in covering 10,000 miles. Figuring gasoline at 20 cents, it ’ will cost (222 to run the old car 10,000 miles as against only $125 for the later model. This represents • a saving of $97 to the driver of the 1 newer car. And that is not all the story, as the old car requires more I oil and more repairs to keep it run- . ning. f \ 31 !i 111 t / I I I I 1/
