AMERICAN AUTOS IN RUSSIA
Using Large Numbers
49, Of Them.

American makes of automobiles are
the most popular in Russia The Ger
mans admit that. A writer In the
Nachrichten fur Handel und Tndustrie
says: The rapidly acquired popu-
larity OF the American machine, on
the Russian market since 1908. may
he regarded as only passing cpl
sodc." etc.
Still. American makers will have to
meet the competition Of French and
German machines In Russia's market.
How much that means or may mean
the American manufacturers under
stand.
The machines which will sell best
are those costing. from 1000 to $4,000
apiece. More expensive machines will
be very slow sellers. as Russia is rich
only in resources, not In ready money.
Catalogues. circulars, letters, etc. In
any other language than Russian have
little or no value. German and French
are preferable to English, but all are
bad as aids to selling.
Once Russia with its bad roads
learns that the American made ma
chimes will stand more than the heavy
creations OF European rivals increased
sales are certain.
In Russian cities everything favors
the automobiles. Street railways are
so slow in building that very many
families keep carriages. These will
doubtless turn to automobiles.
To date Russia. including Poland.
the Caucasus and Finland. has from
|, 200 to ] 500 automobiles. among them
many of the lighter kind. Besides
these there are fully I.50O motor bicy.
cles. A long time will pass before
the country will be able to build as
great a network Of railroads. says the
Daily Consular and Trade Reports. as
is found In other parts OF Europe or
In the United States. In the country
