Do you remember the fable of
the Fox and the Grapes? How,
when the fox found he could not
reach them, he consoled himself
by saying, "Well, it's no matter,
they are probably sour anyway?"
Did you ever think there was
anything fishy about that fablt ?
Have you ever heard of a fox
eating grapes? If there was ever
an anti-vegetarian in the animal
kingdom, it is this same Mr. Fox
with his weakness for rabbits
mice and plump pullets.
There are fables and tales in
tha automobile business today I
that are just as unreal and ridi- ’
culous as the fable of the fox and
the grapes. Among the many
probably the most outstanding
and most mis-leading is the
trade-in allowance of a used car.:
Have you ever wondered why
some dealers would and could al
low you more for your used car
than some other dealer? Have
you ever thought of the fact
that you are actually paying for
this high trade-in allowance
yourself?
Can you figure how an" auto
mobile dealer can honestly live
up to his promise of service and
render honest service to his cus
tomers when he allows more for
a used car than it is actually
worth? How can he do a clean,
honest business and keep from
showing tremendous loss at the
end of each month?
When you trade cars and get
more for your car than you
know it is actually worth think
of the fox and the grapes ami
figure out where you stand.
We delivered Mr. Paul Whis
nant, Shelby, N. C., his second
Model A Ford car. His last
choice was a Sport Roadster.
He: Fond of walking?
She: Yes, somewhat. But why
do you ask? y
He: Want to go to ride in my
tew car some evening?
Mr. J. S. Wilson. Shelby, N. C.,
Is the proud owner of a New
Model A town sedan.
Mr. G. A. Gold, R-l, Lattimore
decided in favor a New Model A
3-window Fordor Sedan.
Landlord: I'm going to raise
your rent next month.
Tenant: Thanks, I was just
wondering how I could do it.
Teacher: Surely you know
what the word •'mirror” means,
Tommy. After you have washed
jour face what do you look at to
see if it is elean?
Tommy: The towel, sir.
We delivered Mr. Raymond W.
Hamrick, Lattimore, N. C.. his
second model A Ford car. His
latest purchase was a new Town
Sedan.
Mr. Ralph Hoey, popular mem
ber of the firm of Cleveland Drug
Co., purchased his fourth model
A Tudor Sedan from us. Ask
Mr. Hoey what he thinks of the
model A Ford car. He can speak
from actual experience.
Why do they call those twin
sisters ‘tonsils'?
Because everybody takes them
out.
We delivere dMr. Raymond W.
Jones, Dover Mill, Shelby, N C,
i new Model A Tudor Sedan.
Miss Maggie Self, Lawndale,

ure of summer motoring by the
purchase of a New Model A

When you get ready to trade in
the old car and get a new one do
not forget about the fox and the
grapes.

Follies of 1930" opens a two-day en-1
gagement, beginning Sunday night j
