On the advice of a friend the motor salesman demonstrated a |4,000 mar chine on a particular stretch of Long Island road. He came back to. town disgusted. '• “Road's all right," he said, “but the policeman over there is no good. You couldn’t give away the best machine on the market with a chump tike him standing around." * ‘ s “What has the to do with your making a friend asked. "DoF said the salesman. "Everything. Any policeman who knows his business will arrest a demonstrator if he is going only four miles an hour. That tickles the purchaser; makes him tbtok he is getting a machine that is capable of smashing every speed'law In the land. But what happened on that Long Island road? Nothing. I hit it up to sixty miles an hour, and that fool cop just stood and grinned at me. Of course, my*’ man didn’t buy.”—New York Press.
