SATURDAY EVENING,
COURTESY PROMPTS
CHALMERS ADDITION
Building Constructed Purposely
For the Entertainment of Sales
men and Visitors
"For the convenience and oomfort of
our guests," as Hugh Chalmers ex
presses it* an addition to the office
building of the Chalmers factory has
been completed. The addition takes the
form of a large reception room across
the entire front of the building. It
is finished In beautiful oak paneling
and is tastefully furnished. Easy
i hairs, magazine tables, writing desks,
telephones and other conveniences for
guests are provided
The "guests" as Mr. Chalmers call*
them, who use this Hne n»»w room to
the greatest extent, are the scores of
salesmen for various lines who vis't the
Chalmers plant each day. And the fact
that the company has gone to the
trouble and expense, of building and
fitting up the beautiful new reception
room for the benefit of these men and
other visitors is a striking example of
the fine spirit of courtesy that char
acterises tcodern business methods.
"We believe." ss\ a Mr. Chalmers,
"that every man who comes ,to our
'actory to -ell something does so with
the belief that he can render us a ser
vice. Accordingly it is our duty to
give him a courteous hearing. We be
lieve also that other people who come
to visit our plant do so because of a
legitimate interest in seeing how we
do these things. It is our duty, and
our pleasure as well, to receive them
courteously and to do all we can to
make their visit pleasant.
"Salesmen appreciate courtesy and
consideration shown them at the fac
tory when they call. In fact it was a
chance remark of some salesman for
automobile accessories, which I over
heard down town, that is in a meas
ure responsible for our adopting sev
eral new rules, which, we believe will
tend to make every department at our
plant give to visiting salesmen even
more consideration than in the past.
"Courtesy," we think, is one of the>
most important virtues for everv man
and every woman in the business
world. We endeavor to inculcate this
throughout our entire organization—
not only in our reception room, where,
perhaps, it shows more conspicuously,
but in every department, our telephone
operators, our correspondents, our pur
chasing department, our service men.
above all. our salesmen.
"Courtesy is one of the salesman's
biggest assets. It breaks down the
barrier of the customer's reserve. It
wins a hearing where mere cleverness
or over aggressiveness cannot approach.
Tt is the lubricant of commercial re
lations. It is the cheapest of virtues,
for it costs its possessor nothing. But
it pays big dividends. It makes
friends: it wins confidence: it sells
goods.
"A service rendered with courtesy I*
magnified by the recipient. It becomes
a bigger and better service. We ap
preciate it; we remember it and talk
about it. Thus, courteous service
builds reputations for hotels, railroads,
retail stores. The salesman who makes

Attractions of Large
Cars Because of Comfort
Very many drivers prefer to handle
a big powerful car. This, not alone
because of its increased accommoda
tion for passengers, but because of the
, pleasure of driving a large, powerful
i machine.
The vogue of the light six has be
come so wide that some people seem
| to think that there is nothing else to
be considered except the moderate
_ sized, light car. Nevertheless there
exists a very numerous class to whom
a large, powerful car. such for in
j stance as the Hudson Six-54, appeals
jmore strongly than does the smaller
car.
j ' ,s two auxiliary tonneau seats,
the Hudson Six-3 4 accommodates
! seven people with the greatest of ease.
rhe divided front seat makes it easy
I for people to move about in the car
without the necessity of leaving it.
There- is ample room for luggage and
the carrying capacity of the car Is very
i great. The feeling that he has be
neath the hood something better than
>SO H. P. available at the turn of a
j finger or a pressure of the pedal is
very gratifying to the driver. On the
! suburban roads, and on cross-country
itours, the big "»4" reigns supreme in
j the minds of many motorists.
I Objection sometimes Is made that
it is difficult to handle a large car in
.congested traffic, but owners a;id
j drivers of the Hudson Six-54 make
no such complaint. The car is so
; flexibly engineu, so excellently con-
I trolled, and the steering connections
and front wheels are go admirably ad
justed that no difficulty whatever is
experienced in handling even so large!
: a car in dense traffic.
This largest model of the Hudson
Six is furnished in the open phaeton
car, in a magnificent limousine and in'
the popular sedan—one of the most
attractive cars for owner's driving that
: has ever been produced.

AUTO BUYING MADE EASY
The pleasure and enjoyment to be
derived from owning your own mo
itor car is now made easy through the
: plan of the Craig-Center Auto Co.,
Inc., 305 Craig street. Pittsburgh. Pa.
This concern is one of the largest mail
order dealers in second-hand autos.
Their new catalogue, just issued, illus
trates and describes hundreds of well
i known makes of cars that have been
thoroughly gone over, put in A No. 1
condition, and warranted for one year.
: They claim all late models— no old
stock left over.
Another feature not to be overlook
ed is their "easy payment" plan and
their "Future delivery" plan. Their
new 1913-16 catalog fully explains
1 their entire proposition.

Paige Attracts Many
at the Western Shows
Numerous automobile shows have
been held this month at different
points throughout the country, sev
eral of the larger and more impor
tant exhibits being: in Western cities.
Reports from these shows indicate
very clearly that the same enthusi
asm and confidence, the same prac
tical results in the moving of cars
that marked the shows at New York,
Detroit and Chicago characterized the
exhibits held elsewhere, thus testify
ing to the sound condition of the
industry.
Henry Krohn. sales manager of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company,
has been making an extended trip
covering these various automobile
shows and has just returned to De
troit from the West. Among the big
shows Mr. Krohn attended were those
held at Omaha and Kansas City,
where the results were especially
good.
"From our own viewpoint," said
Mr. Krohn, "the shows have been
especially encouraging and profitable,
and I can report the greatest enthu
siasm among our Paige distributors
and dealers. Following our custom to
take advantage of these shows to get
Paige men together for social and
business purposes. Paige dinners were
held at each city during the show
period. At Omaha we had 175 Paige
dealers at our dinner and 138 at Kan
sas City. Enthusiasm ran high and I
found our representatives in the field
so thoroughly pleased with the new
Paige 'Six-46' and the Glenwood '36'
and with the demand for these cars
that I was more than satisfied our
previous prediction of a record-break
ing season would be fully realized. In
these sections business is not about to
pick up, it has already swung into
its stride.
"At Omaha special attention was
attracted to the Paige in a unique
manner. The management of the
Henshaw, the largest hostelry in the
city, removed a large section of the;
plate glass window in the front of the j
lobby and showed moving pictures of!
the Paige and the Paige factory dur- j
ing the entire show week. This was j
easily the big feature and aroused an |
extraordinary amount of interest."
Cadillac Graduates
Have Big Earning Power
At the semiannual distribution of,
prizes at the Cadillac school of ap
plied mechanics, maintained at De
troit by the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany, Supervisor M. B. Hughes made
the interesting statement that the
wages of the graduates grade consid
erably higher than those of the aver
age mechanic. Mr. Hughes had com
piled a table from information re
ceived from 125 graduates, which
shows that the pay of graduates who
are in their sixth year of practical
work averages $27.71 per week.
Close to S4OO was distributed among
the students for regular attendance
and meritorious class work. The
Cadillac school was instituted several
years ago by H. M. Iceland, president
of the Cadillac Company, with the
idea of giving practical mechanical
training to young men. Its graduates
are fitted to do the work of first-class
mechanics, having been thoroughly
drilled in both the practice and theory
of mechanical construction as applied
to the motor car. The school is pro-
I vided by the Cadillac Motor Car
I Company for the benefit of the com
munity. the industry and the country
as a whole, being conducted without
any id a. of individual profit or ad
vantage. Mr. Iceland takes an in
tense interest In the school and is
very enthusiastic about the assistance
it is able to give to ambitious young
1 men.
Trainload of Oidsmobile
Model 42 For New York
j The manufacturers of the Oldsmo
! bile are in receipt of their first Spring
jtrainload order for Model 42 tourinc
| cars. An odd coincident is that the
. order, which originated with one of
! their distributors. C. H. I.arson. of
i New York City, calls for immediate
shipment of not less than 120 cars and
when loaded the cars will occupy 42
freight cars- —so there will be 4 2 car
loads of M»del 42.
This, they believe, augurs extreme
prosperity for Spring and indicates
clearly that their light weight four (a
faithful copy of the Oldsmobile big
six' on a somewhat smaller scale) will
enjoy an overwhelming demand during
(1915 and necessitate maintaining in
'their plants the increased production
[schedule which went into effect last
J August when the Model 42 was
I launched.
. C. H. L<u-son has been handling
Oldsmobiles in Broadway. New York,
! for more than 12 years and is enjoy
ing an increase in sales of more than
| 500 per cent, this season over the cor
responding months of last year.
