She adorned her automobile with a large sign reading in red letters, “My $2,000 Lemon,” posted another sign on the car which condemned the make of her automobile in verse, and placed a string of eight lemons across the front of the machine. Thus adorned, the automobile was parked in front of the agency from which it had been bought.

This, according to a complaint made public yesterday in Flatbush Court, Brooklyn, was Miss Genevieve Mach's way of telling the world that the car she had bought was a “lemon.” The agency making the complaint and in front of which Miss Mach's car was said to have been parket, is located on Brooklyn's “automobile row” on Bedford Avenue. The complaint declared furthermore that after Miss Mach had parked her car she stood there seeking to change the minds of prospective customers about buying a car like hers.

Miss Mach is 32 years old and lives at 135 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. She says she is a poetess, and an aviatrix, and that she is the only woman distributer of automobile truck tires in this country. She is charged with using unfair business methods.

Alderman Walter Hartt, attorney for Miss Mach, told Magistrate Dale in Flatbush Court yesterday that the woman was within her rights, since she had parked no longer than the legal limit. He said the automobile was her personal property and she could adorn it as she pleased. The attorney for the agency said the automobile company had done free repair work for her and had even offered her a new machine. He said she wanted her money back and would take nothing else.

Miss Mach said that after a few free repairs the company had begun to charge her for the work. The case was adjourned until Monday and Miss Mach was released in the custody of her counsel.
