THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1937
RAMBLIN' A
BOUT TOWN
Twenty- three years in the automo-
bile business is the record of Morris
Llcyd, manager of Oliver's Used Car
Lot. Mr. Lloyd has seen great advan-
ces in the auto business since the
days when, engaged in the candy busi-
ness, he was one of the first travelling
salesmen in Wiyoming Valley to visit
trade by automobile. It was while still
a number

of his customers, seing how success-
fully the automobile worked in busi-
ness, purchased their first cars of Mr.
Lloyd. Every owner was a salesman
So brisk became the
in those days.
demand for automobiles from the cus-
ent proud of the work being done by
Dallas Borough high school for the
student who really wants to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities offered.
“Bob” has made a fine record in high
school, where for four years he was at
the head of his class. That wasn't ac-
complished without effort. So we know
he had the stuff to do a real job at
Harvard even though the competition
will be much keener. One blow we
want to spare him, though. We hope
he won't take it too hard this fall
when the green-shirted Dartmouth In-
dians from the hills of New Hamp-
shire trample on John Harvard's toes
tomers who usually bought candy from
him, that Mr. Lloyd decided to engage
in the new business exclusively. That
was 23 years ago. Today, the children
and grandchildren of those first auto-
mobile purchasers frequently come to
Morris Lloyd to buy their automobiles.

It's interesting to spend a half-hour
chatting with this automobile “old
timer” in his little office on Jim Oli-
ver's Used Car Lot. Morris is an en-
thusiastic booster for Packard and an
enthusiastic booster of Jim's.

it is displayed. It’s Impossible to visit
the store without purchasing many
more items than we had expected to
buy when we first went in. “Goods
well displayed are half sold” Mr. and
Mrs. Williams have learned the trick
of good merchandising and good dis-
play. The success of the Williams
store bears out a contention we have
long held. If you will give the people
of this community the kind of nrer-
chandise they want, properly displayed
and adequate stocks plus friendly ser-
vice, you will get the support from the
community that you deserve. The
first few years may be hard ones, but
the results will justify the initiative,
determination and courage that it
takes to start a business in Dallas.

Frequently we are amazed at the
apparent lack of confidence which
many of the so-called leaders of this
community have in Dallas. The very
men who should be doing the most to
encourage local business enterprise are
the ones who heap the wet blankets
on the thickest.

Takes Less Wheat
To Buy Tires Now
U. S. Tire Half As Much In!
Farm Produce As 5
Years Ago
An automobile tire in terms of farm
produce costs only half as much to-
day as it did five years ago, according
to Fred Woolbert, local dealer.
This fact was recently established !
by U. S. Tire Dealers Mutual Corp. |
Statisticians took the 1932 price of one |
of the most popular size U. S. Royals,
4.75 x 19, and the unit prices of var-
ious farm produce, and determined the
quantity of produce needed to buy the
tire in that year. Then they took simi-
lar prices for 1937 and made similar
calculations A comparison of the
1937 and 1932 figures revealed how the
cost of the tire had decreased in terms
of farm commodities.
A summary of results obtained from
comparative figures on hogs, corn,
wheat, potatoes, oats, cottonseed and
barley will illustrate how much cheap-
er tires are for the farmer today than
they were five years ago.
For example, the farmer who raised
PAGE THREE
hogs in 1932 would have had to pay
the equivalent of 227 pounds for one
4.75 x 19 U. S. Royal. Today with the
same number of pounds he can buy
two tires of that size.
Similarly, if he had been growing
corn, wheat or potatoes in 1932 he
would have had to pay the equivalent
of 21, 18 or 17 bushels respectively ror
one tire. Those quantities today would
purchase two tires, with an inner tube
for good measure.
An even greater bargain today a-
waits the farmer whose crops include
oats or cotton. Five years ago 44 bu-
shels of oats or 1,320 pounds of cot-
tonseed were required to buy one tire.
Today with the same quantity of pro-
duce the farmer can buy two tires and
two tubes .
'And if he grows barley, he is still
betier off. In 1932 it took 31 bushels
to buy a tire, whereas today that a-
mount will buy two tires and three
tubes.

that this year’s school board would be
sufficiently proud of the record made
to publish its audit in the local news-

in their own homes. Dallas township

township is far from bankrupt despite
this “needless waste of funds” on adv-
