Serving All Of Franklin County Tel 0Y 6-3283 Ten Cents Lou>sburg. N C . Tuesday November 17 1964 (Eight Pages Today) 95th Year? Number 77 Roger Kornegey And Car It Was A Joke, Son Some energetic automobile salesmen are content with hang ing around the lot and waiting until the unsuspecting customer drifts in. Others, somewhat more imaginative, but toopron ed to doing things the easy way, sit around the car lot thinking. j It is this latter group that the old sage referred too, when he said, "Let the buyer be ware." Its the thinkers, that get things done. The things <Jone however do not always come out exactly as the thinker had planned and he must get a bit more confortable on the bench out front and set the wheels In motion again for a longer look at the idea, which a short time ago, he felt would revolutionize the automobile In dustry. When an automobile salesman , Is not working on Ideas design ed to sell a particular car to a particular customer, his mind sometimes wanders to the field of advertising. In other words, how can I get some publicity, front page preferred, without It costing too much. Better still, how can I get some free? There are many people quite adept at the art of free front page coverage. Elizabeth Tay lor Is a prime example. There are others. Roger Kornegey, of Griffin Motor Co. Is giving Liz a chase, for this honor, that Is. Roger came up with a doozle last weekend. You may not believe It, but this Is the way he tells it. On Saturday he sold a used car for $35, probably owned by a schoolteacher who walked to work, provided the pur ,1 chaser would move the car o(f the lot by noon. "If you don't move It by noon, I'll drive In Into Tar River," Kornegey Jokingly said to the buyer. Two o'clock came on Saturday and still no sign of the man who had purchased the car. Kornegey, always good to his word, drove the car toward the river, which was nearby, but he admits, he lost his nerve and Instead of plunging Into the water, stopped short, leaving the car on the bank. Now, away to the Satur day afternoon fishing hole, laughing at the thoughts of the buyer, discovering his new pur chase hovering on the river bank. The buyer never came. But, someone else did and pushed the car Into Tar River. The pushers, for obvious reasons will remain anomlmous. Kor negey had to recover the vehicle from the mjddy Tar. Now, he still has the $35 automobile, even though the buyer has the title. The car Is worth a little less now, since It has a busted windshield, a smashed front and the side Is somewhat dented. Kornegey said, "I guess we'll have to Junk It, as soon as lean find the buyer and get the title." He declined comment on any future bright Ideas. But he was sucessful in gaining publicity. Some have estimated that 500 I people witnessed the withdrawal of the vehicle from the river and the talk of the town over the weekend was about that stolen car that some escaped prisoners ran In the river and the wide spread manhunt that followed. So It Is with car salesmen, and that, son, Is how rumors get started. Blame It all on the energetic automobile salesmen you see sitting and thinking In front of the car lots. J. 0.
