48 WILMETTE LIFE ] anuary 24, 1930 PuWic Buy· Can Where Charles S. Dingee, It Ia Sure of Service Pioneer Resident, BY W. D. REAGAN Presklent North Suburban Balea Dies on Wednesday h is our belief that fully 80 percent Legion Auxiliary St. At.tgustine,s Church in Annual Meeting January 20 ----------------------------------------------------------------~ of the auto:nobile sales in Evanston are influenced by the type of service afforded by the 1o c a 1 representatives. If the service department of a firm is k n ow n among the motoring public for giving not only all that is expected of it but a little more, then the sales will come to that firm. The phenomenal s u c c e s s of the Chrysler in EvansW. D. Reagan ton and on the north shore is of course in large part due to the merits of the car. But our service policy also is playing an equally important part. It is because of this that we have devoted so much attention and so much space in our sales building to the service department. Every Chrysler car that is brought in here for service has the attention of experts, who are specialists in this particular car. Furthermore, no car is returned from the shop· to the owner until it has been thoroughly tested and inspected. The car must be right before the customer gets it, and that means right down to the very last detail. It must be mechanically right, and it must be immaculate, with windshield clean and dust removed from fenders-apparently small details but they count a lot in proving to the public the meaning of Chrysler service. It's this sort of treatment of the public that keeps automobile sales in Evanston. Charles Shantz Dingee, a pioneer resident of Wilmette, passed away at his home, 912 Lake avenue, Wednesday morning, January 22, after an illness of about a week. Mr. Dingee was born February 8, 1871, in Wilmette and had resid.ed here during his entire life. He was married to Leonora Panushka on October 26, 1898. Mr. Dingee's father, who died several y<.ars ago, was the ·f ounder of the S. M. Dingee and Sons Pickle company. His mother, who passed. away about a year ago, was an active worker in both the Wilmettr Parish Methodist church and the Wilmette \Voman's club. Mr. Dingee retired several years a~o. He was fcrmerly a member of the Dingee pickle firm. His Wilmette affiliations included memberships in the \ ;v ilmette Masonic lodge and the \Vilmctte Parish Methodjst church.
