He pointed out that the system where installed already was , meeting with great success. | "Every successful dealer needs a satisfactory accoumting service and frequently dealers find their financ- ing ped because they camn- not furnish a satisfactory statement as to their status or because such statement can only be obtained with difficulty. Whi'e we will not insist op the mse of this uniform system we believe it will greatly benefit the dealers. who decide to use it. For ome thing it will en- able the central organization here to keep closely in touch with the dealers' status and enable them to advise properly. In this way ome dealer will be able to profit from the experience of others," said Mr. Brown.
