GREAT GROWTH OF
AUTO TIRE DEMAND

An indication of the immensity CT
the automobile business is the an
nouncement OF the sales for the year
1912. OF one concern, which approx
mated SIS, 900. 600 This came near 70
doubling the sales OF 1911. For seven
years past each year has shown q
doubled output It is fair to suppose
that this is going to continue The
firm says its contracts from car
makers are about twice as large as
last year, and this means 1000. OO0
tires next year from this one firm
enough to equip SOC, 900 cars.

One Auto To Every 80 People In
u. S.; One To I ach 80 In Ell Paso

One automobile to every 80 men,
women and children in the United
States! One to every SO people in FL
PasO-
Doesn't that startie you?
And practically all of these autOmO-
biles built, sold and put into use in the
brief period of 10 years.
Marvellous, indeed. is the growth of
, this industry, but more oveTpoWering
to the conception is the undeniable facL
( that this remarkable condition of the
construction and use of one motor car
to every 80 individuals in the country
in a decade is due solely to the force
Of publicity through advertising
FL PasO Away Ahead.
Statistics compiled by Automobile"
furnish the basis for this striking
statement These statistics how nearly
100000 automobiles are registered in
the various states of the uniOn-a total
of $50, 1SS machines bear licenses. to be
exact. On a basis Of 10000. 900 pOpUla-
ton, II IS easy to compute that one ma
chine exists for every 80 inhabitants
ii Paso county has over 1900 reg
lstered automobiles and motorcycles.
Deducting $50 for motorcycles and au-
tcmobles that have been taken out OF
the city since the issuing of licenses
began about three years ago, this leaves
1l50 licensed cars. Dividing this into a
population of $4,000 people. gives a car
TO every 3S persons in FL PasO. The
state of Texas only has an average OF
one car to each 156 persons.
Yet in Its Infancy.
And the automobile industry is in its
infancy! Ten years ago, in the whole
year OF 1903. only 5000 motor cars of
all descriptions, were constructed in the
United states In the building season
OF 1872 the total of construction was
S4O,UOO cars And the output for the
building season Of 1912-13 it is esti-
mated, will far exceed that of the last
year.
In the statistics compiled by Auto
mobile" appear some other striking
facts-factS which indicate the pro-
pOruonate buying power of the various
states, showing the actual location OF
individual prosperity and the ratio OF
the prosperous to the -nOncapable class
es as evidenced by the ability of each
section to buy expensive commodities.
California Leads in Per Capita.
One table shows the number of cars
per capita of population. 1t will be
seen from this table that the states
