All Used Cars Sold. (Oonr hided oa fut Two( Column Fonr By Wallace S. AT barton Where Is the best place to Buy a used car? . . That Is the Question most commonly asked by person wishing to buy an automobile but not able to purchase a hew car. The answer' is from any reliable automobile dealer in n While . that seems to be a paradox w giance, nevertheless is true, for many-reasons. In automobile buy inja a great part of it consists of trad, lng in a used car for & new model. The dealers in new cars have a greater variety of used cant for sal ni h- prospecUve purchaser of thi i. ,. a larger number to choose from than otherwise, The most important .factor though is that of reliability. , - No reputable dealer ' will sell a uaed ear that la la poor condition without warning the. purchaser. The dealer can't afford to, for he has bis reputa tion sto maintain.- If . the used car customer is satisfied the .chances are very . good1 that he will return to - the oealer to buy a. new car when able. . wnen an automobile dealer takes a used car in trade he appraises the car thoroughly, finding, all of the me chanical defects. These are remedied in the service . shop before the car is put on sale, or If the-buyer wants to get a car - that haa : not been - over hauled he can do so, but the reliable oealer will tell him just what is wrong with the " machine and . what to ex pect from it In th way, of trouble. GUAKAKTEES GITEK Many , : of the ' Portland automotive dealers write guarantees for their used cars, f Guarantees that carry the name relative service to be had on a miw model. - . - When buying from . "fly-bynlght1 used car - men - or the owner- of the car- no guarantee ,1s obtained, for the -j simple reason that etith people : have no way of backing up any guarantee. Their main object is to get rid . of the car for the highest possible price. Once purchased the new -owner "as sumes th mechanical defects as well as th car.

Tendency on the part of automobile manufacturers 1 - standarixe. the nomenclature of various-types of motor vehicles has been noted within .the past few months, especially in -the announce ments of ' the many new mooeis ana series; " r . " A . -Names that carry no .definite zneanr Ing such as sportster,.- speedster, club and chummy are' being: relegated to the background for words that bring to the mind of the reader a . particular type of vahlcle. This Is a feature, that is greatly appreciated by the motoring ttublic for the: strain of keeping up on the latest names was fast becoming too great for the average person to maintain. The new names are based on history and hark back to the days of coach building In its prime. . The adoption of the new names follow a suggestion of the Society of Automotive Engineers, made early last soring. " Seven, names have been decided upon almost, universally . by . the -automotive industry to -typify :the cars." They are coupe, sedan, cabriolet,- 'limousine, phaeton, roadster and broughan. The old time touring car Is now to be known, as. the phaeton, Originally the phaeton .- was a horse-frawn ve hicle, having four wheels and with seats for four passengera. They were with or without tops. tevelopment of body building stimulated - by the. auto motive industry, has- brought-, radical changes since those days.' The phaeton now has room for from . five : to seven IMtsaengers. .' Tops are - lnvaribly ,-used in' the United States though -they are not so common in foreign countriea The roadster is an old .. time automo bile name' that suffers no change. It is "still" a light, open car with accom modations for jtwo or three ridera - - In the early days of carriage building- closed coaches were, an unknown thing. - It was not until the : 15th cen tury, that they- were- first made. - Then it. was a disgrace for a man to ride in them. "In th 16th century the custom was. changed when one of the German kings rode to a council meeting in a closed coach. . " i ..- The limousine," one of tthe automo bile type names that .is to survive, derives -its name from the limousine carriage, a closed vehicle -with -protection for both th passengers and driver.-- "The term limousine in.
