AND CANADA DO * BIG AUTO BUSINESS s ‘Ranks Third Among Industries of the United States —————— New York, Oect, 19,~The automo- bile industry of North America is not a mushroom growth, but a logical de. | velopment of the American earriage | industry, says the Commerce Monthly, | published by the Natlenal Bank of Commerce in New York, dealing with “Fhe motor car in relation to the economie life of the United States and | Canada," | "“Ihe simple facts as to the produe. tion and use of automotive vehicles in the United States and Canada,” says | the article, “are so%astounding that | the attention not only of the business world but the general public as well has been focused on them and specu. Iations as to the future of the auto. | motive industry are a fruitful theme of discussion," | ¥From the standpoint of the value of | product, the industry now Is third in | the United States, and there are more | than 400,000 workers directly depend- | ent upon it for & livelthood, while the | number indirectly dependent is much greater, “The relationship of this vast indus- ‘try is the general well-being of the | country 15 obviously very close,” the article continues, “and a correst un- derstanding of the problems connect- ed with it is of vital importance in | judging business trends in the two | leading countries of North Amerlea, | It is pointed ofit that at the begin- | ning of 1928 there were approximately 14,600,000 registered motor vehicles in | the world and the United States and Canada possessed 88 per cent of them, and the proportion of the annuel world output is probably even higher, for the United States and Canada to- gether dominate the markets of most importing countries. The argument | that the industry is dependent upon | road Improvement Is refuted by the | fact that France with a population of 149,000,000 and famed for its good roads has only 200,000 passenger cars and 95,000 trucks; Great Britaln with 47,000,000 population has 353,000 pas- senger cars and 145,000 trucks, while Canada with a population of only 9,000,000 has 462,000 passenger cars and 38,000 trucks It also is pointed out that in the relatively newer por- tions of the United States, such as Montana, Idaho, South Dakota and Nebraska, the ratio of motor vehicles to population is much higher than New York, Massachusetts and Penn- | sylvania with their admirable high- | ways. The total wholesale value of 2,659,- 000 mtort vehicles produced in the | United States and in American con- | trolled plants in Canada in 1922 was $1,789,638,000, passenger vehicles con- | stituting 90 pe rcent of the total num- ber. During the first seven months of 1923 there were produced 2,127,000 passenger cars and 227,000 trucks. Registration ‘of motor vehicles in the | United States on July 1, 1923, was | 18,002,000, of which 11,671,000 were private passenger cars. Of the pas- senger car registration of 10,800,000 at the end of 1922, it is estimated that 3,200,000 were owned by farmers. In relation to the economic life the article declares that not until the ex- penditures on motor cars begin to cut into the savings of the people can they be criticized. That this point has not been reached is shown by the fact that savings deposists in 886 institutions increased from §6,712,000,000 6n No- vember 1, 1921, to $6,667,000,000 on July 1, 1923, It is the judgment of the trade that more than 3,000,000 cars will be pro- duced in the current year. “While somewhere there is a point heyond which further growth of the | industry would be unsound,” the ar- ticle concludes, “there is no method by which that point cgn as yet even reasonable expectation 1is that the leaders of the industry by means of careful study of their markets and by the exertion of ordinary business fore- sight will gradually adjust output to changing conditios as they may arise.” Fancy LEGS LAMB 25¢ Pound Morning Specials 7-12 a. m, Sperry & Barnes’ Bacon Best Hamburg . . | Solid Lean Corned | Beef \ [ | [ | 32¢ 31 25¢ 17¢ Fresh Eastern Pork 1b 23¢ Best Made Frankforts Puritan Ham ..
