Mr. Hine believes this to be the most liberal offer made any dealer at the present time, and as the Oak- land car is manufactured by a unit A. C. HINE. of the General Motors Company which is the largest automobile company of today, it ought to serve a strong im- petus for any one purchasing a car. Mr. Hine's argument is that the strongest asset of an automobile of today, is the status of the company who builds it and the dealer whose service takes care of it after the sale is made. Many people rely on Mr. Hine’s judgment of an automobile, as his experience dates back a number of years. His first selling was as a sub- dealer for New Britain with the R. D. & C. O. Britton Co., of Hartford, then handling the Maxwell and Oak- land lines. Later he was a mem- ber of the Hine, Morrin & Zimmer- man Co., of New Britain, handling Ford and Studebaker. Next he formed the Overland Conn. Co., of Hartford, having the distribution of Overland cars for the state of Con- necticut, and now is managing The A. C. Hine company of Hartford, which formed last July as State Dis- tributor of the Oakland line. One of Popular Makes. The car is now strongly represented throughout the state and is recognized as one of the popular makes. The light “Six” is built entirely for econ- omy but drives with great flexibility and snap. The four cylinder car is distinctly a family car, while the eight cylinder is the most luxurious of the line.

Flan- ders. That one type of car will be distinguished by the fact that it is driven by a four-cylinder motor, he continues. “More even than was the case in 1915—the greatest year on record for the four cylinder car—1916 will be a fcur cylinder wyear,” predicts the Maxwel] president and general man- ager. | Outsider Confused. “The man who views the automo- bile industry from the outside is sometimes confused by ! the large number of cars he sees advertised— cars, a great majority of which seem 1o feature motors, with six-eight and even twelve cylinders. A visit to an automobile show is likely to streng- ‘len this impression, for show space is apportioned to large and small firms alike. y “In view of this condition the stu- dent of motoring conditions would be wise to equip himself with a point of view which would enable him to secure the right perspective of the industry. ‘ Facts of Year. | “We judge future events by the light of recent history. Let us re- call some of the facts of last year. “Choice for space at the New York and Chicago shows was apportioned on a basis of the value of output. We are therefore able to select seven manufacturers who led in quantity | production. Of these seven three were exclu- sive builders of “Fours.” Two others center nearly all their manufacturing | sctivity on the building of “Fours.’ And the three manufacturers show. ing the largest increase in product during the vear were the three build- ing “Fours” exclusively.
