"HOW MUCH IS - YOUR FEB, DOOTOB?" A Question So Often Asked; This b the Answer Ulven By t Local Fhy "How much Is thla operation going to coat me, Doctor T" "Well, I am go. lng to charge you, for giving you the aklll I have worked 16 yeara to ac quire, and for the knowledge which I have studied yeara and spent thous ands of dollars to gain, as well as for some half doten hours of my time, used In examining, operating and dressing,?tor thla I am going to charge you the same amount the au tomobile dealer charged you for tak ing you to ride In his demonstrator, and talking you Into buying one of hla cars. He actually spent less time on you than I spent and certainly spent less than I on hla education and training. As to taking responsibility, he took none, he had nothing to lose except his time and a small portion of his overhead expenses. I had your life In my hands, akxd there were moments, during the operation^ when that responsibility weighed heavily. Do you consider that he rendered you a greater service than I? It certainly cost him less of his vital force to render It You feel that I am taking great advantage of you when I charge you $200 tor putting your body In the best repair of which It Is capable; but you are pleased and happy to pay him $200 for persuading you to buy his brand of car. I realise that It seems to you that In case you are pay lng for personal service, which gives you no - pleasure, and in the other case for merchandise, for goods you can actually see and feel which da give you pleasure. But you should also look at It from the view-point of the motor car dealer and myself. "Similarly, for the care I give youi wife throughout her pregnancy?for the numerous examinations and for the encouragement and heartening 1 try to give her for the disturbance of my rest In the dead of the night, for the hours of waiting, with eyes heavy for the want of sleep, for taking the responsibility of doing the very best possible for mother and babe and for watching and guiding them through the first ten days of the babe's lite; for all of this, I am going to charge you the same amount as the piano dealer who talkM^ with you for an hour on two or tnree occasions, very courteously explained to you the su perior points of his piano and finally drew up the contract and made you the sale. You never thought he was asking too much of you, because you never really considered him as asking you anything for his service. You were paying $400 for piano and It did not seem to you unreasonable. If the salesman had charged you even $10 for his personal services in show ing you the pianos, you would have been Indignant. But with the lmper% sonal thing, the piano, and Its value as merchandise and not as service, you feel no resentment nor Injust ice. "You simply do not stop to analyze, You do not realize that you are pay* lng anything for personal service when you buy merchandise. Besides that, when you pay for medical serv ice, you are usually "paying for a dead hforse,' You hare already had the relief from pain or from the anx iety over sickneps. With your car you are paying for pleasure which you are going to enjoy or which you are still enjoying. If you were obliged to pay your doctor bill before you got relief from discomfort, you would pay more eagerly and willingly. "For all the calls I made at your house when you had the flu; for giv ing my most careful thought as to the best way of managing your Illness; for exposing myself to possible con tagion of your disease; for the five or six hours of time I spent calling on you and going to and from your home, and for the various supplies I expend ed In treating you, I am going to charge you the amount which you pul Into the radio dealer's 'profit account' tocompensate him for having placed his receiving set in your living room. Remember, I am not talking about the cost of the set, but what you paid him to induce you to choose It. Am I fair? Or am I extortioner? For my services to the community year In and year out I am not de manding any more than the head of your bank, nor than your successful realtors or your merchants?often less. I usually work more hours than they do; and I never consider my own comfort. "Do you really think that I am a 'grafter'r My Ford The Ford is my ch :iot, It shall not want; It maketh me ll? down in wet places; If destroyed: ay soul. It leadetb ;uo into the deep waters. "" It leadcth me into the paths of ridicule for its name's sake, It prepareth a break down for me in the presence of mine enemies. I will tear no evil when it Is with me; its tods and lis shafts discomforts me; It anolnteth my face with oil; Its water holleth over; Surely to goodness, if Lizzie follow me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the house of the Nuts forever.

SIXES The Pontiac Six won instant ac ceptance?first aa a quality car and then as a car at a price made pos sible by the gigantic resources and purchasing power at the disposal of a division of General Motors. Entirely disregarding price, the Pontiac Six would be an outstand ing car by the grace of its Fisher body and the smartness of its Duco finish, by the size, power, and flex ibility of its engine, by the excep tional ruggedness and "heft* of every unit, from the dashing radi? ator cap Co the tail light? ?but a price of $825 literally throws this high-quality Six into bold and impressive relief against the entire industry.
