Ordinary dealers will not do. To sell - automobiles . a dealer must be equipped to cater to the choicest trade, and must, have capital or be able to'- control lb - Such dealers are not numerous. Most of them are under arrangements with those who were early In the field, who resent any Inroads on their profits and who natur ally use every means at their disposal . to nrevrnt. makers of mra who are dls- rfsih&Ta: " "" Jj Serious Problem.

We have nore high class, reliable dealers than wefdan be gin to supply with cars. Every city, of prominence In the United States con tains a 'Michigan dealer andln 'each case they represent the very cream of the dealers in that locality,. f'W can put all this money which 'others must figure on into extra value at our comparatively low price." Mr. Bobb sees a great future in the northwest for tha line of Michigan au tomobiles and buMfes, and believes that it will bjMTV a short time before they ' will have to secure a suitable lo cation and build larger quarters.

They have been committed here tofore to a few other cars of higher price. Now they recognize the Speedwell as a formidable rival whose lower price suggests invidious comparisons. Time was when it was true that to be absolutely sure of . any motor car one must pay the highest price; and meri who can afford the best want it at any cost. . . - " But it needed only the recognition of the Speedwell's claims to preeminence, at a price lower than the exist- ; ing maximum, to compel a readjustment of that- -' maximurril ' 11 ; -t- C' y.j?" ?
