That is "Auto Show" week, when the new models, that will grace our highways the next twelve months, are formally announced. A great many of us buy cars at this time, but a far greater number buy during the next twelve months. But, nevertheless, opinions are formed which often influence us many months hence. ^ ^ We are fortunate in having for the owner of our firm a man who has 1 attended "Chicago Auto Shows" for twenty-seven successive years-- so, being an old firm, we are going to offer a little advice. First Do not be prejudiced toward any one oar, bat look at ill with an open mind. ^ Second Judge .them for their mechanical features, their comfort, their economy, their resale value, their appearance and their durability. Third Investigate the companies that manufacture thorn--look : ' at their past records. Fourth Check delivered prices and what equipment it How much you really get for your money depends upon your judgment. It may be that the cheapest might prove the most expensive. And last, but not least, be SURE to take a thorough demonstration car before you pass judgment After all, that is the place whoc# you will be behind the wheel. v And then, when you come to close a deal, check the dealer's recottd and his past performances for being a good dealer.
