ADVERTISING TALKS
By WtTltam C. Frtema.n.
I have always regarded it as a personal privilege, as well as a liberal
education, to be permitted to talk to so many bright business men. I
do not always get from them what I go after in the way of business, but
I do get a great deal of information and many good suggestions which
are very helpful to me in my work.
It is oniy occasionally that I get an opportunity to meet the men
who do such big things in the automobile field. Their advertising
comes under a special department, which is usually handled by men
who are as big bosses as anybody on the paper.
This department on The Tribune is under the direction of Mr. M. J.
Sullivan, who asked me the other day if I would like to meet some very
live business wires. I told him that I certainly would; that I would be
rlelighted; that I had not met very many of the automobile men; that
the few I had met I had been introduced to by my late side partner,
John C. Wetmore; that I wanted to know more of them.
So Mr. Sullivan and I wandered up and down "Automobile Row,"
and I experienced a real intellectual treat. They are a wonderful lot
of business men. I know now why Mr. Sullivan knows so much about
salesmanship. He gets in frequent contact with these men, and they
have been to him an encyclopasdia. Fortunate man!
I suppose many people think that the automobile business repre
sents few sales and big profits, due to the fact that oniy a small per
centage of the people can afford to buy automobiles. The sales are
not as numerous as those in department stores, or in other retail stores,
and I found out, to my great surprise. that, notwithstanding this fact,
the percentage of profit on an automobile sale is not any greater than
an individual sale in a retail shop. Usually the profit on the cost in a
retail establishment is 50%?that is to say, if a woman's gown costs
$50.00, the retail price set for it is $75.00. This makes the profit $25.00
to the merchant, which is 50% more than its cost and 33 1-3% of the
retail price.
I discovered some other surprising things: That while there is
keen competition, there is no misrepresentation. There are no false
promises made; no unfair claims are made. I learned, too, that when
a car was sold, that did not end the interest of the dealer in the cus
tomer or in the car. It seems they have a plan of keeping in touch
with their customers and finding out if the car is doing good work, and,
if it is not .dcing good work, they ask the customer to bring it back and
let them fix it. for which there is no charge.
I was mighty glad to get a little more intimate knowledge of this
great automobile industry.
The prices, excepting in the caSe of the used car branch of the
busineas, are uniform to all. It ought to be. reassuring to readers to
know that purchasers have been gettfng and will continue to get their
money's worth when they buy automobiles. The purchase of an auto?
mobile involves a big mcney transaction, enough in many instances to
pay for a house and lot in the suburbs, and when a man spends an
amount of money of such volume he wants to be sure that he is getting
a nquare deal. There is a very high percentage of trustworthy men
engaged in the automobile industry. There are some wolves in sheep's
clothea in almost every lme of business, but I honestly believe that
there are vtry few of them in the automobile businesa.
