Springville – Homer Young recently sold a Nu-Way milking machine to Arthur Robinson. It is not out of the way to state that Mr. Young is one of the most successful salesmen in this part of the state. He has sold seventeen Nu-Way milking machines during the past few months. But it is as an automobile salesman that Mr. Young shines. During the few years he had the Maxwell agency, Mr. Young placed 350 cars. That was some years ago and Homer says that he did not get rich, either, for in those days one buying an automobile expected the agent to keep it running for him almost indefinitely, without charge, much of the profit being expended in giving service. Homer says he can always go back to his old customers and get a hand-shake—and maybe sell another car.
