It is interesting to look back upon the phenomenal progress that the Martin Store has made in the pas: few years. Starting twenty short years ago on one floor of the building 0: the corner of Fulton and Bridge streets, they have gradually enlarged, as the policy of Value and Service" became, better known, and as the women of Broklyn realized what this policy meant to them.

"The automobile buying public is. slowly, acquiring a more intelligent understanding of the principles involved.

"The unfortunate and surprising thing is that sO often the new car buyer si shops around to get the 'High-! allowance for his used est possible instead of concentrating on the car, value to be received in the new carthe only thing which should interest him. proper price for a used car is just what it will bring In the open market, less proper deductions for reconditioning, selling and overhead! Any allowance made in expense. excess of this amount is 8. false value entailing certain loss in resale: "Suppose a customer takes his car to the dealer and gets an offer of $200. He then takes it to another dealer who offers $300.

Does the competing dealer think the car is worth $300? Or is he willing to sacritice the extra $100 to make the sale? And if he is willing to make this sacrifice, not only in one but day after day, how can he -tay in business? obvious answer, of course. is that the margin of profit on new I Car is large enough to enable the dealer to make the excessive allow ance. The customer, himself, pays the excess allowance. frankly tell customers the margin or profit on our car does not provide for absorbing any used car losses. There is only one price on our Dodge Brothers cars and all purchasers benefit alike, whether they turn in an old car in trade or pay the full cash price."
