Gilman Has Bran New 1938 Dodges Already For up-to-the-momeni information on automobile developments, more particularly on the question what the motor car industry will bring forth for the new season, none will have much of a jump on M. B. Gilman, of the M. B. Gilman Co. Gilman has just returned from St Paul, where he participated in a con- ference called by officials of the Dodge division of Chrysler corpora- tion and attended by a large gath- ering of dealers and dealers’ repre- sentatives. The dual purpose of the meeting was to review the 1937 activities of Dodge dealers operating in the ter- ritory and to discuss sales and serv- ice plans for 1938 in advance: of the automobile shows. “I was surprised,” Gilman said on his return, “at reports read at the meeting of large numbers of retail orders that are being placed ‘sight- unseen’ by customers who have yet to see the new models for which they have already signed up. I re- gard this action on the part of so many motorists not only as a sig- nificant tribute to the manufactur- ers, but as a business sign that @ugurs well for our. future, ' “However, the most interesting | part of the meeting,” Gilman admits, “was a privileged” preview of 1988 Dodge ger cars.
