CADILLAC LEADS
IN MAGAZINE
ANALYSIS

How many Of your neighbors own
automobiles. and how much did they
pay for them? What kind of cars are
they?
Such questions are not always
prompted by idle curiosity. They can
be asked for the purpose Of discoV-
ering commercial facts that have a
broad and Illuminating significance. In
addition to- proving the extraordinary
growth of the industry the results
generally contain several other real
surprises.
The Literary Digest has been ask
ing questions along this line recently
and the answers are highly interest
ing. 1t has been discovered, for ex-
ample, that out of it's 265,00O sub
scribers 102,695 own motor cars, or
about 3S per cent, and the invest
ment in these cars, at an average
price of 1891, amounts to $249,000,-
900.
The data upon which these figures
were based was secured in the follow
ing manner: Letters asking if the re-
cipient owned a car and, if so, what
make, were mailed to 11,43S people in
thirteen typical cities and two subur-
ban and country districts. Such cities
as Cleveland, Atlanta, Springfield, O.;
Kingston, N. Y; Kansas City, Mo-, and
Dallas, Tex, were included. 1t was
found from these answers that 3085
owned cars at an average price of
S2391. These cars included ISL makes
and each brand was represented by
from one to 1913 cars, the latter figure,
the highest, belonging to the Cadillac,
while one other Detroit make, a low
priced car, passed the $50 mark, and
five Michigan cars passed the 100
mark. Only one car made outside of
Michigan had more than 100 answers
in the tabulation and it was below
$50. -s- i
If answers received from the 20 per-
cent. of 1l,438 letters show 1885 cars,
answers from 265,O0O, the total circu-
lation, it was estimated would show
l02,695 cars owned, and the grand
total of dollars is also easily ascer-
tanned. Likewise, according to this
percentage table, if the Cadillac gets
1873, the highest number out Of 11,438,
it would get 1854 out of the 265, 900,
while it's nearest competitor would get

AUTO IDEAS HAVE
CHANGED, SAYS
VON HAMM

When You look back a few years,
it's wonderful what changes of con.
struction have been made in automo-
biles-and likewise what remarkable
changes Of opinion there have been in
that time regarding the merits Of
some of them" said Mr.. c. c. Won
Hamm in discussing the new seasons
models the other day.
Take the question OF rear axle de-
sign. The Stevens-Duryea Company
put ont the first powerful six-cylin-
der car built in this country in 1904
in fact; it was the first to actually
market a six-cylinder car here. When
they saw that it was built with a
shaft drive and a full floating rear
axle, a lot Of the wise ones held up
their hands. There was a pretty
lively discussion regarding the merits
Of chain vs.. shaft drive. and most of
the sages were sure that the chain
drive was the only thing for a large
car.
But as with every other feature
that ]. Frank Duryea has originated
On the SteVens-Duryea cars, he knew
he was right about the full floating
axle before it was adopted, and, in
keeping with other refinements, it's
construction has been improved from
year to year" Mr.. Won Hamm con-
tiRued. "All connections right from
the erankshaft to the differential are
either square, or square and taper
square joints. The unit housing is
designed to carry the entire load. sol
that In the Stevens-D uryea full float
ing axle, no strain other than that Of
Transmitting the power is imposed on
the shafts of the axle.
Exclusive features of construction
that distinguished the Stevens Dur
yea design from the conventional
type of axle are the forging of the
pinion gear integral with the driving
shaft and the forging of the driving
flanges Of the floating axle integral
with the axles-of which there is one
