Your Business In Spring Auto Man Fancies Gimmicks By BEN PHLEGAR DETROIT (-The season of the gimmick is at hand in the auto business. Webster defines a gimmick scheme for attaining an end, There is very little at concealment in these casesthe obvious end is to sell you a car, or at least to get you within arm's a reach of an eager salesman. But there are plenty of devices and schemes. One of the favorites is the free gift. Some dealers conduct drawings for anyone who regist-: ers at their salesrooms.

Others write you letters, advising a gift is being held for you if you'll just stop by. While popular, this idea is something short of sure fire, according to at least two Detroiters. One said he stopped in as requested, kidded with two salesmen about how he liked his 10-year-old car and left with his gift without once being asked if he were interested in a new model. "GUESS THEY thought if I liked a 10-year-old car I was no new-car prospect," said, I've half decided to buy a new one this spring." Another man told of dressing in his oldest clothes before picking up a gift. "They couldn't get me out of there soon enough," he reported after reporting to, the showroom.

One a thon dealer with staged prices an all lower night tween a. m. and 4 a. m. Free coffee in dealer showrooms is becoming popular with the urn placed near a salesman's desk.

And then there are dozens of variations on the price theme. These range from those who proclaim they'll beat any deal to a modest window sign at an import dealership in suburban Detroit which read: "Terms 99 cents a day." ANYONE OWNING a car three to five years old is considered a ripe prospect and is apt to receive numerous unsolicited letters or telephone calls. There are also the inducements of free gas with each new car. "Fifty gallons free if you do business with me" reads one salesman's business card; toys for the kids or optional equipment tossed into the deal. Dealer organizations in various cities have organized communitywide sales drives.

The one in Detroit now in progress emphasizes the vital role auto sales play in the area's economy where about one in every four jobs is auto-related. The industry has come up with assorted new models for the spring selling season, mainly fancy versions of the previously introduced compacts. SPRING IS A vital time to NOW HAVE MORE MONEY TO INVEST! Without investing one cent, business or professional men who use their auto for business can enjoy driving a new car by LEASING instead of buying. Leasing leaves your money in the bank for more profitable personal investment or use as working capital. No cash investment! No depreciation! tax write-off in one year! Cash for your present car.

Union Park Leasing Call OL 8-7245 NOW Division of Union Park Pontiac 1704 Pennsylvania Ave, near Du Pont as an "ingenious device or often artfully concealed." the auto business since the current quarter normally accounts for at least of all new car sales in year. If spring one business is good the year always is better than average. Auto sales so far this year have been slow, running about 20 per cent behind a year ago. The comparison was somewhat out of balance in January and February because 1960 sales in those two months represented to some extent demand created by scarcity during the steel strike of late 1959. But there has been concern the continuing lag behind year ago figures and both the manufacturers and the dealers are pulling all stops in their sales efforts.

Market Slips; Trade Slackens NEW YORK (-The Stock Market moved irregularly with a tendency toward the downside as trading slackened early this afternoon. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks at noon off .20 243.50 with industrials down .80, rails down .10 and utilities up .20. Gains and losses of key stocks were narrow. most of them within a 1-point range. Wider advances of a few selected issues which responded to speculative demand were highlights, but even in this group early gains were cut.

The action followed two days of sharp decline as tional tension over the Cuban situation was strong. Concern continued today. At the same time, analysts pointed out that stocks were being sold for capital gains now that six months has passed since the sharp advance began toward the end of last October. Some of the aircraft and electronics continued to make strides but there was little group leadership displayed in other sections of the list.
