A WABNENG THE UNBLUSHING IMITATOB AND HIS MOTOE3NG "VICTIMS Much has been said by advocates of fair trade on the evils of substitution. Strenuous effort has, in the last few years, been directed towards discouraging and preventing this evil.' In spite of the rapid ' ment which has been made, thls^ freat practice has taken on a new orm in the manufacture and distribution o£ imitation pacts t for repairs and replacement on automobiles and cycles. . Sales of certain well-known makes of cars have mounted well up into the hundreds of thousands. Here the pirates find a rich field for their operations. That they are taking advantage of it is a well-known fact. On every hand dealers and distributors are found offering imitation repair parts for this or that make of; car. Especially is this the case with i imitation parts and accessories .for one very well-known make of car in New Zealand. ; Seldom, if ever, does a dealer ■ offer substitute parts for replacement. But other, dealers and . distributors do, and they are diT«/.flv iTm«n«inrr a harrlfthin UDOn the car user, for oftentimes the n installation of an imitation part * Impairs the running qualities of the car and the owner is likely to put the blame on the car in- ■ Btead of the substitute part. The manufacturers of these . parts are out to pirate the parts ""■ business. Price is their only sales" ' argument. They_ assume no responsibility—their only aim is. to make something that looks : like the genuine and soils for less. Their methods of manufacture do not permit of accuracy. ' If they did, prices would of necessity be higher than those of lie original manufacturers. The average car owner .knows very little about the part* i, which constitute the various. accessories on his car. 'When ; his imitation part does give way, , he often blames—quite unjustly : —the original manufacturer. However, "it is better to be aure than sorry," and the motorist 'who trays replacements for tha car or motorcycle he _nses, , should in every case be particular in, securing tlw genuine product of the original manufacturer. In many cases.these are stamped ■<A with.. the' traSermarkj,.,._of•;;the a - but• not afatay££l...Thn.. th« agent far file particular car in question, and to ask for a guarantee of genuineness.
