AN OPEN LETTER
To the man who has the money to
buy and maintain an automobile
Dear Sir:
Motives of patriotism and motives of personal advantage should
alike prompt you to buy an automobile now.
From the standpoint of patriotism you have no greater duty, to your
Government than your duty to broaden your business to its widest ex
tent, to increase your business efficiency to the ?ith degree. That is the
outstanding patriotic duty of the American business man. Only by per
forming that duty, can you be of the greatest help to the Government.
Men of big business interests realize how the automobile has in
creased their efficiency. It will do the same for you.
It will give you more time, make your days longer, widen your
range of activity.
It will save you energy, enable you to do more, keep you fit.
It will make you a greater productive and supporting unit of the
nation. That is the reason why the great directors of our national affairs
all use cars; most of them new ones that have just been purchased.
If you are deterred from buying an automobile by the thought that
the Government may need the money which you will pay for it, please
bear in mind that, if the Government needs that money, it can as readily
take it from the automobile dealer or from those to whom he passes it
along, as from you.
If you spend your money freely but wisely, you are a better patriot
than the man who hoards his money.
From the standpoint of personal advantage, you show your wis
dom and foresight by buying an automobile now, because:
(1) You can get an automobile immediately, if you buy now. But,
if you defer ordering until later, the probabilities are that you will have
to wait a long while for its delivery, due to the problematic forecast of
the manufacturing situation and freight conditions.
(2) Automobiles are undeniably lower in price than they will be
later on. A purchase now is a better investment.
These personal advantages are intensified by the purchase of an
enclosed car, because the comforts and other features peculiar to an en
closed car are most desirable now.
It is, therefore, not only proper, but highly advisable, that you order
an automobile now.
Very truly yours,
' AUTOMOBILE SALES CORPORATION.
144 North Broad Street.
President.
