Dodge Dealers To
Have Unique Plan
Used Car Selling
DETROIT, Aug. 10. To place the
buying of used cars and used trucks
Atlll more securely on a basis of re
liability and confidence, la the pur
pose of a unique plan which the
Dodge Division of the Chrysler Cor
poration Is introducing to the pub
lic through Its Irganlzatlon of over
5000 dealers.
According to C. E iSerlng. the com
pany's director of used-vehicle mer
chandising, the dealers' cooperation in
the scheme has now reached propor
tions warranting the giving out-ejT de
tails to the used -vehicle -buying pub
lic whose Interests are to be safe
guarded by the new plan.
"In earlier days of used-car selling,
dealers often were handicapped 07 the
Idea of buyers that It meant the pur
chasing of 'second-hand' or "below
par' vehicles and that buyers took
eertAtn risks In the transaction.
"Especially aa far as Dodge dealers
are concerned, that attitude Is with
out grounds," explains Serlng.
'Today the motorist realizes that
when he purchases a used automobile
or used truck, the most important
element In the transaction U the hon
or and Integrity of the manufacturer
that made It. In addition, the pur
chaser relies on the honor and Integ
rity of the dealer selling bun a ve
hicle that has had some previous use.
'That the rank and file of Dodge
dealers already enjoy the confidence
of the used-vehicle customers to a
remarkable degree 1 shown by the
fact that they, In the first seven
months of 1S, sold 871,337 used cars

Progress In Tire
Development Told
By Charlie Furnas
"Just as history -making events go
almost unnoticed when they are coo
temporary so have we little noticed
the gradual evolution resulting In a
nation riding on rubber wherever you
turn," said C. C. Furnas. Goodyear

side. "Natrually, you cannot escape ob
serving the. automobiles, buses and
trail era you see on every street and
highway but rubber tires are just as
firmly entrenched in other forms of
industry and endeavor," he continued.
"There Is the gasoline bus, the trolly
bus, airplane tires, tires on wheel
barrows and on all forms of road ma
chinery." "Perhaps the latest field to be con
quered by rubber la farming. The
Goodyear organisation has spent
much time In practical research de
veloplng a complete line of tires de
signed to Increase the efficiency and
longevity of farm Implements. That
such a need waa felt Is shown by the
enthusiastic acceptance of these
tires,"
Rubber la not being used alone on
the lighter farm equipment but is
being adopted enthusiastically by the
tractor manufacturers. Farmers and
manufacturers alike have adopted the
tractor tire because of Ita Improved
performance."
' Among these Improvements, Mr,
Furnas Hated were: more tread depth
for traction, more shoulder tread
more center traction, more draw-bar

Motorists no longer have to be both

riding caused by dry spring. This
newa la the result ol months of study
In the Shell oil company laboratories,
where engineers have been working
on a method of lubricating covered
type springs, according to Shell's lo

The new process consists of an ex
elusive method of applying a new pro

tween spring leaves and stays in place
for many thoumnda of miles under
severest conditions, he said.
Shell cprlng stabilizing compound
was created as a result of the difficul
ty encountered by lubrication men
In maintaining a suitable film of lub
ricant between tha leaves of new
"covered spring" types of cats. This
difficulty was aJso experienced on
some "open type" springs, as ordinary
grease would readily squeere out or
wash out when coming tn contact
with water. '
Shell's new product positively will
not squeeze out once applied or wash
out when coming in contact with
moisture the product being Jnsolu

In addition, Shell has developed an
exclusive method of applying this new
compound between the spring leaves,
regardless of type. The compound
forms Isyers between the leaves and
assures quiet, easy riding.
Shell stations and authorised deal
era are giving special demonstrations
of this new service during the month
of August.

FARM POLICY OF
PEEK BROADCAST
CHICAQO, Aug. 15. (AP) Pre
senting what he called an "indict
ment" against the- New Deal farm
program. George N, Peek aald today
that under it "agriculture has defi
nitely lost ground in its fight for
equality with industry."
Peek, formerly trade adviser to
President Roosevelt but now on the
warpath against the administration
foreign trade and farm policies, made
his attack in a speech prepared for
delivery on a radio broadcast of the
National Orange.
"By controlling the farmers' Indi
vidual initiative," he aald, "they
thought they could control bla pro
duction; thta In the face of the bur
eau of agricultural economics report
of 1927 that 78 per cent of the varia
tion in yield of all growing crops,
from year to year, is due to weather
and pests, and not to tha acreage
planted."
DUcusslng lews of foreign markets,
Peek said "responsible administration
officials" have "prevented important
sales of farm products to foreign na
tion! ."
"For example," h said, "In the fall
of 1033 at the very time the govern
ment was supporting ths butter mar
ket through loans, an opportunity
was presented to sell a substantial
quantity of surplus butter to England
at competitive world prices."
He aald Wallace and Rexford Tug
well "frustrated" this on the ground
that "our agricultural trade cannot
possibly be improved by selling
abroad at a price lower than tha mar
ket at home."
Declaring that "we must get back
to fundamentals of commonsenss and
Americanism .' peek outlined a pro
gram. It Included a plan to "check
competitive agricultural and Indus
trial Imports by tariffs, quotas, em
bargoes or otherwise and give the

the heat.
Surest way to keep cool, this summer Is
