- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH Rb, 1922 : 11 all5 6000 SERVICE 3 THE DODGE MOTTE William T. Wehrstedt, Auto Dealer, Makes Comment Automobile owners, as a rule, have 12 son for being pleased with the out- lo or better service department fa- cil'ties and a resultant greater satis- taction in owning and driving a car. It is evident that manufacturers are «ng more and more emphasis on '75 phas» of their business, not only ie ause it is being demanded by the «ar owners, but because it has been cemonstrated by the few who have 'n:isted 1pon good service from the ve v outs:t, that it pays in dollars ind cents to keep a customer satis- jie", Wm. T. Wehrstedt, the Dodge Brothers dealer here, is one who knows what it means to represent a factory that is extremely particular about the sort of service its dealers provide. Steadfast and Consistent "The factory has been steadfast and consistent in its service policy ever since the manufacture of Dodge Brothers cars began," he said. '"'Keep- ing pace with the recommendations coming from headquarters, we have steadily developed our own facilities. Among the comparatively recent in- novations of importance to the car owner is the flat rate system, which enables him to tell in advance just how much it can possibly cost him to have his car adjusted or repaired. A specified maximum time is allowed for each operation and he can see it all in black and white before the work is started. "With more than 650,000 cars al- ready sold, it is not difficult to see why Dodge Brothers are so insistent on good service. The annual replace- ments among these 650,000 alone call for a production as large as the total output of many factories." What Buyer Gets The dealer's comments on Dodge Brothers service policies are borne out by a recent article by Samuel Hop- kins Adams, in Leslie's Weekly. "Where the 1922 purchasing public is going to profit chiefly is not by buy- ing cheaper," says Mr. Adams, "but in increased utility at lowered ex- pense." "Service," he adds, word, a term often abused to the point of parody. But the new form of service, as projected, is so perfected and systematized as to comprise per- haps the most important development that the industry has known for years, "That the initial cost of a car is not the principal item, is a lesson which has been hammered at the pub- lic in a series of highly effective ad- vertisements. This principle of eco- nomical upkeep, the Dodge and Ford companies have adopted as a funda- "is the trade William Salmen CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER ESTIMATES cheerfully furnished on New or Repair Work 964 Spruce St., Winnetka Phone Winnetka 1055 oo SEINE NT I TT OZ Give Her A At Welch's-- make a holiday Way. : true zest.
