OAKLAND FIRIM PROUD OF CAR Proprietor Expects to Double Sales Record Coming Season. By CHARLES F. PATTERSON. It has always been the intention of the Patterson Oakland company to give just a little more in sales and service than the other fellow. ‘We are certain that we are the rep- resentatives for as thoroughly good a group of cars as it is possible for a single agency to obtain, and dur ing the past year we believe that our sales and service record has proved this fact. However, we are not satisfied with our past record but are going ahead in the year 1924 and endeavor to double the sales made in 1923. I believe that the Third Annual Automobile show will go a long way toward stimulating spring bus!- ness, and I anticipate a real crowd at the Arkeon on each evening.

LETTER TO WALTER P. CHRYSLER EXPLAINS NEW DISTINCTION OF MOTOR CAR JUST BROUGHT OUT We reproduce here a letter writ- ten to Walter P. Chrysler, builder of, the new Chrysler Six, by E. C. Herne, captain of the Sky Writing corporation of New York City. It ts through the kindness of E. M. Johnson of the Casper Motor com- pany that the Tribune was able to obtain this letter. “Dear Mn. Chrysler: “after 20 years experience with motor cars of all nationalities, dur- ing five of which I served my apprenticeship in the largest auto- mol factory in Europe; after many years flying on all types of aeroplanes in various parts of the world, both before, during and since the war, {t takes something very unusual in the way of internal com- bustion engines to arouse in me even the slightest degree of enthu- siasm; so I am sure that you will pardon a complete stranger taking the liberty of addressing to you a few appreciative remarks concern- ing the Chrysler car. “I happened to be strolling through the Commodore lounge yes- terday afternoon, and noticing a crowd gathered around something, went to investigate. The attraction proved to be your chassis and an immediately noticeable ‘cleanliness’ of design caused me to look a little more closely, when I was surprised to see a certain very efficient type of cylinder head—which I had thought existed only in England— incorporated in your motor. I was now really interested, examined the chassis in detail and became more agreeably surprised every moment. “I had never before seen an en- gine of that piston displacement with a seven-bearing crankshaft; the water jacketing around the Inders and valves was admirably ied out; the exhaust and inlet manifold arrangement were excel- lent; and all the accessories, such as generator, carburetor, ignition dis- tributor, of! and air filters, etc., seemed extraordinarily well placed; and one certainly could not help being struck by the absence of all “annoyances” in the chassis, such as brake and torque rods, which, in the average’ car are never, greased and are inclined to breed rattles. this time one of your salesmen had rallied round and began volun- teering some startling information, the outstanding feature of which was the fact that the car would do 75 miles per hour. “I stopped him at that point—I was “very sympathetic, mind you— and told him that I quite under- stood that what with the worry of the show and all that sort of thing, one was liable to get a bit ‘foggy.’ and advised him to rest for an hour or so and take a couple of aspirin tablets. But he stuck to his guns and insisted on this 75 miles per hour business, “Well, Mr’Chrysler, I know and you know what that means for an engine of two hundred one cubic inches displacement. Wind resist ance has the unfortunate habit of nereasing as the square of the speed. and 75 miles per hour with a touring car with the top and wind screen up, means perfect balance of the motor and chassis as a whole, and it means power, with a capital P. Of course, I didn’t believe him and told him so and he insisted that it would be only fair to him if I drove the car. “I drove it for an hour this morn- ing and all I can say ts that it is astounding in every way. It took Fort George Hi! from a standing start in high gear with five pas- sengers without a murmur and i Che Casver Sunday Cribune ing during the past five years, re- gardless of price, and as for that roadster of yours—tit's more than an automobile—it’s a work of art. “Yours faithfully, “E. C. Herne.” CFAVIGE HELD ‘HONEST DUTY” In a timely discussion of automo- bile selling methods, the Haynes dealer, Mr. Patterson, outlines the Greatest need of 1924 automobile merchandising. ’ “While the business of selling automobiles has made wonderful Progress,” he says, “it has one more step to go. The good dealer no longer regards service as a ‘neces- sary evil.’ He recognizes in part hed up at well over 25 miles|the importance of satisfying his —_— ~c hour. It then went up in seo-| customers. “But the average dealer has not gone far enough. Today he simply sooks at service as a stepping stone to replacement sales. He has no sooner sold a car, than he begins to figure how he can sell the same own- er a new model. “That practice should be con- demned by Haynes dealers. Service “should be looked upon as an obliga- tion plaged upon the dealer by the Bale of the car. The owner should be entitled to long service from his car—and the dealer should feel it his honest duty to help the owner get that service. “That is the policy of the whole Haynes salés organization. It is one of the important factors which in- fluenced us in securing the Haynes franchise for this territory.” Sees eh LD G. S.

At over 70 I jammed the foot brake down hard with my hands off the wheel and the car stopped in an incredibly short space, without deviating an inch from its course, whilst, with the brakes hard on with full throttle, the car could be steered from one side of the road to the other with one finger. At no time during this ride, of over an hour, did the thermometer on the dashboard register more than 95 de- grees Fahrenheit and after coming down Fort George Hill several times to try the brakes, one could bear one’s hand on them and they were all exactly the same tem- perature. “The reason I am writing to you at such length is because I like motor cars and appreciate some- thing out of the ordinary when I see it and I really must congratulate you, Mr. Chrysler, and your design- ing staff on producing the finest car I have had the pleasure of driv- — WE HAVE 432 W.
