TIIE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON 1 1 t. SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1924 4 OPTIwlST CLUB IS'OBZED No Member Allowed to Talk i About Hard Times - j Believing that business condi tions are really determined by an attitude of mind and that condi tions are either pood or bad Just In the proportion the public thinks they are, the Chicago Branch of the Oakland ; Motor Car. company has organized a True Blue Opti mist Club among its dealers. It is believed that this club movement will , flourish ,. in the Oakland dealer organization throughout the country. Every dealer joining this club must agree that "neither he nor anyone else: la, his organization will 5 talk about hard times, nor listen to such talk from other people, but, on Che other hand will talk prosperity and good times to a number of people every. day, and will go out after business with the feeling that, taking everything In to considf ration the; country is In rood shape.'; To i further eV tend. the movement, it is proposed that each Oakland dealer form 'a club of all Oakland owners In his district, called the T.BO.C, and that stoch clubs preach ,the s'ame optimistic message as the dealer organization. j I 'v; V; A yearly outing; for each of these' Clubs is likewise proposed.; C. J. Nephler General Sales Manager of Oakland, strongly commends the? thought back of these clubs.; 1 , "Business conditions depend to a very Targe extent on the mental attitude '-of the. 'public,' he states. "Just as soon as the public be lieves business conditions are bad, they retrench and this in turn maker conditions so. J Nearly ev ery depression we have had, has been brought about by a state of mind. . You will note today that since the beginning of; the . year most ; of the large industries, . if not up to last years production a phenomenal one in the motor car industry are really ahead of the average year since 1913."

It Is quite evident, from 'the comments of buyers, according to Mr. Bonesteels of the Bonesteele Motor company. Dodge Brothers Dealers,) that the public appreciate the significance of Dodge Broth ers policy of making constant im provements in their motor cars in stead of changing "models every year. j 1 . ' Magazines, newspapers and bul letin boards everywhere -are re minding the people this t-month that this policy continues; to pre vail and that they may' buy Dodge Brothers, cars without fear, of see ing a neyr and entirely different model put on the market soon af ter they take possession! of tbe present type car. . , - 1 "Coming just at this time," said Mr. Bonesteele, "when many man ufacturers are preparing to issue new models. In keeping with their annual custom, this advertisement is having a striking effect: It serves as a wholesome reassurance to prospective buyers. They dis like the idea of buying a car today and finding a month or so later that it is! an obsolete model. And it is onlyjnatural that they should. The depreciation loss is out of pro portion for a few months' use. Moreover, most people like to be up-to-date in their motor equip ment and if they wish to follow their desire in this respect they must accept this sharp deprecia tion loss!
