Thetr city passenger transporta- tlon can be materially augmented with very much less investment re- quirement than similar expansions previously called for, “Bightseeing transportation is legi- timately within thelr business prov- ince; Gummer touring service is a prospective possibility, hut more im- portant than these is the opportunity to handle the local traneportation of merchandise, pares] post and express, os well as local freight transfer for merchants and manufacturers, and the possibility the railroads in putting {nto execu- of collaboating with. tion the much-talked-of store-door de- livery, Such operations may require changes in the limitations of their existing franchises, but these changes or enlargements should be readily se- cured in view of the advantages ren: dered to their communities by the increased transportation facilities af- forded.” Mr. Kennedy rightly holds that the field for expansive activity is enor- mous and he urges the automotive in dustry to recognize that in the street railway organizations there exists a! greater potential group consumer for its products than has ever existed in any single direction. They represent what may be regarded as a unit group of customers experienced as no others have been in tho utilization of transportation equipment with re- quirements which are uniform in character, and the executives and en- g@ineers of which are particularly qualified to co-ordinate with the en- gineers and executives of motor car industry. . 9 PER CENT CAN AFFORD $1,000 GAR, IS CLAIM D. J. Willoughby, Columbia Sales Manager, Reports on Investigation. ‘The research department of the Co- lumbia Motors company have recently completed a nation-wide investigation that is today released or publics for the first time. In turning over this material to the newspapers, D, J. Willoughby, sales manager of the company, said. ‘Doubtless you will be surprised to learn that 89 per cent of the total ulation of any city have the means Pith which to buy a thousand dollar automobile.” ‘These figures were taken from & survey made in 642 cities throughout the United States. Another fact of great !mportance brought out by this investigation was the great number of c'osed cars being used for commercial purposes. Mr. Willoughbly said: “Our sales of the new Columbia two-passenger coupe have been unusually large. This is due, I believe, to two reasons. First because of the large number of busi- ness organization that are using the closed car for commercial purposes ¢x- clusvely, and secondly because of the tremendous number of doctors and professional men who use thelr coupes for both business and pleasure.” The new Columbia coupe that is at- cracting such widespread interest has a wide seut that affords exceptional freedom of movement for two passen: | SUNDAY, MARCH 25, 1923. gers.
