good advertising, I thought, and put up a sign, offering to rent motorists a
new tire for 25 cents a day.

“The next morning, two men came in and rented four tires each for their cars.
I took their license numbers, and changed the tires. They said they needed
new tires, but hadn’t money to buy them yet, and I assured them that half the
rental would apply to the purchase of new tires. This pleased them. When
they went out, I decided I should have collected a minimum charge for daily
rentals, but didn’t. Later that day, I rented six more tires, made a minimum
charge of 75 cents for changing tires and 50 cents for two days’ rental. That
gave me a little guarantee on the tires, and cut the probable risk down a great
deal. I learned before the week was out, however, that there was no risk. Of
the 26 tires I had rented that week, 24 were bought by the renters. The other
two were returned, and the full rental fee paid.

“I was surprised, moreover, to discover that in a short period, I had doubled
my tire sales to non-renters, many new customers being attracted to my store
by the sign.”

dollars a month.
