HILLIONS OF GARS T0 COME Limit of Consumption for United States Set at Five Million ' Cars, OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRY With 2,000,00 cars now reglstered and running {n this country there is still a market for a fnillion cars a year until 5,000,000 cars are In use, according to the statemnent made by Alfred Reeves, gen- eral manager of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, in his address at the opening of the twelfth year of the au- tomobile achool of New York, '“The motor ear demands of the rest of the world, as well as the Increasing needs for the transportation of passengers and frelght In the United Btates, will have to be supplied by this country,” sald Mr. Reeves, “States like Towa now have a oar for every sixteen persons, yet it is shown that other states, like some In the south, have only one car for every 26 persons, “In view of the fact that government figures showed 10,000,000 horse drawn vehicles In use fn 1910, and that there are 5,000,000 farms fn this country, one-half of them without a mortgage, and the in- oreasing demand of motor trucks, I see no reason why, with the increasing ser- vice supplied by motor cars, this country eannot ultimately make use of at least 6,000,000 power driven vehicles of, various types. '"While pessimists have been preaching from year to year that the automobile business must come to an end, progres- sive men who appreciated the need of the motor ¢ar because of the service it sup- plled have been developing the car and Increasing its sale, until now we have 200,000 registered fn the United States, with a scheduled production for 1916 far In excess of 1,000,000 automobiles, Such an industry cannot but offer opportini- tes for young men, although, because of the keen competition, the opportunities ) Are only for those men who are prepared to work loyally and enthusiastically and who are willing totrain themselves for A particular fleld A Milllon Cars & Year, "Where a few years ago we talked of alf & million cars as the annual produc- tion limit, we find that In .15 892,000 cars were 80ld and the sales this year will .o far in.excess of 1,000,000, This. demand comes bocatse of servite' supplled by the otor car, not alone for this country, but for the entire world, Our exports last year exceeded 111,000,000 and America must In future supply the motor car demand of all coun- tries “The automobile business offers not alone an opportunity to make money, but opportunities to do things worth while. Whether for good or for evil, the coming age will find this a great industrial na- tion and our young men must be trained for thelr places in its great progress. “While one shouldn't overlook the ad- vantages of money, when properly used, the automobile business permits of great accomplishments that are a public bene- fit and which might be eonsidered even greater successes than the making of money. I consider such men us Clifton, Ford, Winton, Willys, Haynes, Appersow, Olds, Leland, Durant, Maxwell, Coffin, Riker and other men who have made pro- nounced successes in the automobile busi ness, to be public henefactors because of what they have heen able to offer as a i result of taeir study and labors Business is Not K A Be assured that the business deen an easy one, because, while boasts of many great successes, it vertises little that rough path which strewn with the fallures of more than Rak not ad s In od ody Nebraska Ha Auto Sales Co, 2032 Farnam S MAYNES ALY the ! o, R 4 four hundred automobile manu{urlx.rn‘nl during the last five years. | | “While ordinarily statistics make dry | | rendink, a few of those In comnection | with the automobile business T mm sure | will be mteresting in throwing light on the making.
