COLO? OF 4770 IMPORTANT
TO FEMININE PURCHASER
'And Then She Is Finicky Driver and Forgets What to Do at
Times, Says Car Salesman
' "And can you believe It: a woman
came in hero lnt week to buy a car
and bad it pnlnfcd plum color, to mntrli
a new suit slip hnd just purchased!"
The Rftlcsmnn hnd been aHed how
women ficured In the purchase of n
car. Ho looked dlsRUHtrd.
Tlio business man will enter a show
room; ho immediately is taken under
the wins of n Mttaman. The prospec
tive buyer will walk six feet forward,
two feet to the loft, turn his head a
bit and reluctantly admit that "it's u
fair lookin' bus." Which admission
causes the wilesman'R heart to glow.
Then tho man continues his tour of
inspection. He stands on the runntiiR
board, peers into tho tiny mirror fas
tened to tho side, slldei into the driver's
Mat, tips his hnt at an angle and makes
tho salesman sure that the prospect I vu
buyer is a man of affluence and import.
Then, after having sufficiently im
messed the salesman with tho fact that
fie has a mind of his own, he carelessly
remarks that he'd better bring "the
wlfo" down, nnd strolls out.
Enter the wife. "Oh, what a pretty
car. And as sno runs slender lingers
over the polished surface she almost i
purrs as she debates as to what Mrs.
NeTt Door will say.
"And It's such a pretty shade, too."
And so. if "the wife" finds the color
pleating nnd the lines "pretty" ltV a
safe bet that the salesman gets his
commission !
Teaching n woman to drive a car, the
salesman observed, is usually more dif
ficult than teaching a man, because as
n general rule, she's so excited. Rut
when she once learns, she slides in and
out of traffic, outraging her fellow
drivers, smiling enticingly at all, traf
fic policemen Included, and If she has a
dimple and a merry little twinkle in her
eve "well," declared a salesman,
"there's no doubt about It, she can get
awny with n lot."
The average woman driver will tako
more risks because she does not stop to
reason things out. She rnthor figures
that she'll come through all right, nnd
Is quite surprised If some one runs Into
her, or she hits another car.
There is really no reason why women
should not be the samo competent
drivers as men, the sales expert said,
but no man likes to drive back ot n
a!

crossing che suddenly remembers an er
rand, ana with little warning, swings
to the left and is nulte incensed If the
man following rune up the back of her
car.
Excited In Crisis
In n crisis, the salesman declared,
the average woman will lose her head
nnd either drop the wheel nnd pin
her faith In Heaven and tho other fel
low driving, or will clutch wildly at
the brakes In an effort to nvert dis
aster. The cool, self-possessed woman who
drove an ambulance ou the other sido.
with shell holes at almost every turn
of the road, will keen a firm grasp on
the wheel, and frequently make her
escape, a narrow one, perhaps but
then and she will shrug her shoulders.
"It's the woman who dresses to
match her car," said the salesman,
"who Is the most difficult to teach
driving, and who will take the greatest
risks and then lose her head when she
most needs to keep It.
