Baptist Sunday School
Continues to Increase
He stated further that the reason Beardsley, Steve Wilson, Carl O’Brien,
his company is extending its dealer
representation to many towns the size
of Refugio is because of the unusual
profit possibilities offered by such
dealerships at the present. .
“During the past few years,” ac-
cording to Mr. Sauer, “many Pontiac
dealers in towns the size of Refugio
have been enjoying a healthy and
profitable business, despite the fact
that we haa but one line of cars, our
Straight Eight. This year, the addi-
tion of two lines of lower-priced sixes
has given our dealers a wider market
and, consequently, the opportunity of
increasing their sales and profits.
“Our low-priced model lists for only
$615, which is enabling our dealers
to compete successfully in the low-
For the third Sunday in succession
the Baptist Bible school reached a
new high record in attendance last
Sunday. The roll showed 20 more
than have ever been registered on
any previous occasion, and 37 more
than on the corresponding Sunday
last year.
A very cordial invitation is extend-
ed to all those who are not definitely
affiliated with one of the other
, churches here to come and join the
price field where over 90 per cent of hosts that are enjoying the fine fel-
lowship and the spiritual training be-
all motor cars are being sold today.
That low price is a big factor in the
increased sales which we and our deal-
ers are enjoying. Another is the fact
that the Pontiac is recognized every-
where as being the most beautiful
car on the road today. And when you
combine a low price, outstanding good
looks and real economy of operation,
ing offered by the Baptist Church in
its Bible school and preaching service.
The pastor announces that on ac-
count of the revival meeting now in
progress at the Presbyterian church,
there will not be any preaching serv-

A lovely entertainment of the week
was the Easter party given by Mrs.

the refreshment course which was
served following the games.
The guest list included Miss Mildred

that we can now establish dealerships
in new localities the size of Refugio
with complete assurance that they
will be successful and pay a satisfac-
tory income to the/dealer.”
When questional as to the qualifi-
cations necessary to obtain a Pontiac
dealer franchisor Mr. Sauer said: “The
ideal man, of bourse, is one who has
had experience as a dealer and who
has relatively small amount of capi-
tal that/'is necessary to get going.
But in many, instances we have given
the franenise to men who were sales
managers for other dealers and even
‘star salesmen’ with satisfactory re-
sults. In other cases, we have estab-
lished connections with men totally
inexperienced in the automobile busi-
ness but who wished to make a good
investment.
‘‘Instances of this nature are a con-
vincing example of the growing con-
fidence in the business future of the
country. Such people, because of the
low return of uncertainty over the fu-
ture of stocks, bonds, etc., are invest-
ing their money in dealerships because
they realize that such a disposition of
their funds will, ably managed, give
them a higher and more permanent
return than the normally safe chan-
nels of investment. When such a per-
son approaches us, we find him some
man thoroughly trained in the auto-
mbile field who is competent to man-
age the dealership on a mutually prof-
itable basis. The latter may be a
sales manager or executive for an-
other dealer, either locally or in a
neighboring town, who wants to
branch out into full responsibility in
co-operation with the man who wants
to invest his money.
“In operations of this kind, we
maintain a special department for the
sole purpose of assisting our dealers
in successful management and selling,
and many of our dealers about the
country testify to the efficiency and
value of this department’s assistance.
“I am here to interview all inter-
ested local residents, either with or
without money, or with or without
experience. I plan to stay at the
Mission Hotel, and am hopeful that
before I leave a satisfactory local ar-
rangement can be made.”
