But that’s dealers hard luck.
He has to make price conces-
sions, work out other plans at
his expense, to bring price down
to prevailing consumer level.
* * *
Probably never In economic
history have so many steps been
taken by manufacturers to wreck
their dealer organisations. It
could happen in no other indus-
try; could not have happened in
auto industry without production
in hands of so few.
*00
Actually, if Reuther wishes to
stabilize industry, he could do
worse than send study teams
around country getting dealer
perspective, then working out
plan for industry, rather than
making appeals to Washington.
The welfare of his uiiion depends
not on factories in Michigan,
but in the health and well being
of every auto dealer in every
hamlet, town and city of the na-
tion. As the dealers go, so will
go the industry.

who haven’t heard:
"Mac” recently stopped at an

the chef’s special—and his wait-

fused the order, spilled the soup,
dropped the rolls, brought him a

Despite it all, “Mac” loft a

No one knows how much var-

tory. But the price to dealers
runs car up in price far beyond
reach of many buyers.

However, factories don’t take
into consideration this point. O’-
Mahoney committee found in one
month dealers of a medium price
car were forced to take 90%
with automatic transmission, 50%
with power steering, 40% with
power brakes, high percentage
with power windows and seats..
Thus large share of cars had
$600 or more in luxury accessor-
ies which many buyers cannot
afford.

are automotive dealers.

Huge profits by Big Autos are
often taken to mean dealers
share in this bonanza. Actually,
motor maker profits have too
often been coming out of dealers’
hides. Dealer discounts on cars
run as little as 16%,*and that
does not include the “phantorh

supposed to pass on without a
