Abstract:

After World War II, Americans wanted to buy consumer goods such as automobiles. Even though buyers had the money, however, they could not immediately get a car because of great demand. That is, unless they offered a bribe to the dealer who would let them buy a showroom car. Jeter tells a story of how one Greensboro man beat the car dealers at their own game.
