They are intelligently selecting and buying right mer chandise at the right cost price and adding the least mark-up to make the right selling price. The margin between the cost price and the selling price is what permits the merchant to pay for the services he renders as agent between maker and user. The quality of the merchandise, plus those services, is the degree of value the merchant offers ... it is the public’s yard-stick of the merchant’s greatness and his right to continued patron age. If he keeps his mark-up low, with a high standard of service, he increases the values he offers . . . and thus he insures his future. For years Chevrolet deal ers have had the largest number of trade-ins and, therefore, the widest op portunity to service and condition all makes and models. • • • Make sure your car is serviced right —make sure it is serviced by your Chevrolet dealer!
