Big argument marks Amarillo Auto Meet session
The Amarillo Automotive Association held an informal joint meeting of dealers factory men and jobbers at a local hotel. Joe Pender and Bob Steer of Southern Motor Supply Dallas argued over who gains business from dealer education efforts versus undercutting by aggressive competitors. Speakers backed Penders view that fair dealings and uniform pricing benefit dealers while others supported Steers claims. A plan to hold one more meeting before summer was suggested.
