For Your Protection
The railroad managements are issuing transportation certificates Cov-
ering each and every automobile transported by railroad from factory to
dealer. These certificates are filled out and signed by rail offcials and the
purchaser of a new automobile is entitled to receive one. DEMAND YOURS
WHEN BUYING A NEW CAR. Ttys method of protecting buyers of new
automobiles became necessary because of the widespread practice of driv-
ing new automobiles overland over long distances (driving one and towing
another), and selling them to the public as new cars.
The amount of freight expense saved on driveaways has frequently
been used as an overallowance on used cars involved in the sale of new cars,
thereby deceiving the buyer into believing he was making a favorable pur-
chase. New automobiles driven from the Detroit area to Waco by cheap
hired drivers suffer a lot more depreciation than the small amount offered
you in overallowance.
The payrolls of the railroads of this country constitute a tremendously
important factor in our economic welfare and you can help yourself and
them by demanding a rail transportation certificate when buying a new
automobile. * *
