SOME BIG AUTO FIGURES.
Statistics Sho5c Gro1oth of the In
dust,y in This Country.

Some statistics of unusual interest concerning
the automobile industry in the United States
have Just been brought out in the litigation
over the Selden patent.
According TO official figures, sworn to in
the United States Circuit Court. the total num-
Der of vehicles manufactured and imported
under license from January i. 1903. to January
l. 1906 was Al 6s6 The valuation Of these cars
was sssI4I.43 %. and the royalties paid on
figures given represent cars actually sold.
The increase of production in 1904 over 1903
amounted TO 80 per cent in the number of We
hices. and the increase in the value of the gross
sales was 5S per cent. The increase of 1905
over 1904 in the number of vehicles was $40
per cent while the increase in the value of the
product sold, rose TO &C., per cent
The total business in 1905, according to the
testimony. amounted TO 1880 vehicles, having
a valuation of s31S1475S SO.
These figures reveal some averages or peculiar
interest. Taking the total number of cars pro-
duced by the licensed makers and their selling
prices ii is shown that the average selling price
for cars of all sorts in 1903 was approximately
Sl,I70. In 1904 the average price was S1,f22
In 1905 IL was $1,7S4 For the three years 1903
1904 and 1905 the average selling price of do
mestic cars S1,429, and of imported cars
1910.
This is the first time that any reliable official
figures have been furnished and as there are
Selden patent who handle the great majority of
all the motor cars made and sold in this coun-
try, these statistics from the court testimony
throw a broad light on the situation
