M lAMMM III VINO AN AUTOMOBILE. Nome Suggestion Made of 1'ulnts to lie Considered and Made by One Whose IIumIiii'hs It Is to Know. Buying ait automobile presents ft problem to the unltlaled that Is hard to solvs. When a mun slartes out to purchase a motor car he, first of all, wants to get the best for his money. So nmny different machine are rep resented that he finds It hard to de cldo Jiitft which one he will look at. It generally turns out that he Jumps around and has a talk with all the agent, or a majority of thnm. Kuch, naturally, claims the best for the mon ey In the field. Prejudice rules all the nay through. "It. Is not the Initial cost that the prospective purchaser of an automobile should consider, as much as tho sub sequent ripens," said F .W. Volger, Northwest distributor for tho Keo, Silent KulKht Stearns, Apperson and Premier cnis, while In a discussion relative to this subject. "What should be considered, Just as well as the price and stability of the car In question, is the serviee that the dealer will render after the machine lias been bought. It Is one thin to ell sn an ton oldie, snd another to keep your customer satisfied, It Is a fault that Is all too predominant In the motor business, this system (if selling a car and then forgetting the owner. "In order to build up a permanent buslnoee tho dealer must see to It that the wants of the people operating the curs he represents are attended to. He must carry a sufficient quantity of purts to supply whatever demand crops up, and be also must have made ar I'linKemenls where by the owners can get expert work. "The dealer, In turn must be backed up by the factory. Take the system of the Roo, for Instance. We have the hearty co-operation of the factory throughout. The Keo faetory Is always willing to go Into a little extra trouble to see that Keo owners are not want ing anything. That Is one of the prin cipal reasons why the Reo has been such a success throughout the North west. The Iteo Is designed and built under the siiHrvlHlon of one of the most ex perienced automobile engineers In America It. E. Olds. Ills name is a guarantee Itself that the car Is built right. Add to that the service ren tiered after buying, and you have some, thing that cannot be beaten." o Early Head Rare Scheduled.

WILSON, Agent SALEM AUTOMOnil.E ItlSIKESS LARGE Loral Dealer Makes Largest rnrchase Every Made In Oregon Outside of Portland. Few people realize that Salem Is eaally the largest automobile distribut ing point In the state, outside of Port land. Otto Wilson local agent for the llulck has at the present time six car loads of 1912 Ilukks standing on tho floor of hi garage, and he has two more carloads on the way. This repre sents an enormous outlay of money, but Mr. Wilson says that In a few months there will lie a great shortage of automobiles, and when people want them worst a local dealer cannot get the cars unless be has his orders In, as he states that he baa already been notified by the llulck company that the supply of certain of their automobiles Is already exhausted, and tho Chal mers people have also notified til in that certain of their car can no long er he supplied. Mr. Wilson this year ordered more car than ever ordered In Oregon by any firm outside of Port land, and the showing In hi garage easily surpasses the showing of ninny garages In Portland, very few In that city having a more completo stock than ho has. John Miiurer, one of Salem's oldest autoumblle dealers and mechanics, will soon be located In his new garage on Center street, Just east of Commercial. This garage will lie modern In every respect, snd Mr. Maurer expects to have a first-class home for his Cadil lac cars and machine shop. -A local enthuslaat for the Overland ttates that while he was In Portland last week he was given a demonstra- I tlon In a 1912 45 borne power Overland.
