new PHASE ENTERING
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
John N. WHY'S Says that Dealers Are
Beginning to Join Forces with
Manufacturers.
ONLY PRACTICAL COURSE LEFT

John y. willys has again signified his
faith in the future OF the automobile in
dustry. and this time let in a rather in
teresting sidelight.
Not long ago. said Mr.. willys, 81
expressed my belief that the end Of the
present period of readjustment Would
mark the survival OF the fittest-' And
by the survival OF the fttest I do not
mean Just the survival of the strongest
manufacturers. l mean the survival OF
those makers whose cars are fittest to
answer the demand of the great masses
OF possible buyers. and of the dealers
who stick to those makers and their
product.
'.The time is long past when the motor
car Is considered mere luxury' 10 De
enjoyed by the few.
I'm other words, the day Is gone when
only the rich can motor. The man OF
moderate means is now just as certain
a buyer, and il Is to him and his class
that we NAV look for the largest ex-
pansion in the automobile business.
True, the sale of high-priced cars will
go on. but Il will not increase in volume.
Our very wealthy class is a limited class.
and will buy in about the same quantity
a few years hence as now But the
Each year sees more and more people
who are able and anxious to buy the
best of the low-priced cars. The max
ers of automobiles who give the most
car value at a small cost need fear
nothing. The manufacturers OF high
priced cars must either decrease in num-
Der or else each curtail his output.
There are a good many dealers right
now who are meditatively wetting a fin
ger and holding 1t up to see which way
the wind blows. and believe that most
of them have found out. The great awak-
ening has come. 1t has developed that
the manufacturer makes the dealer
after all He furnishes the right car. the
reputation and the advertising that Gre
ate the demand. The wide-awake dealer
takes advantage OF these three elements
in his business of distributing and selling

makes most of his opportunity will win.
The one who ties up worng will lose.
whether he makes the most Of conditions
or not.
''Often, for instance, the dealer finds
that he can sell more cars than the man.
ufacturer can supply. He puts this down
to his own superior selling ability, when
il is really due to the superiority OF the
car he is selling and the nature Of the
demand for that car that has been built
up through constantly and effectively
advertising 1t to the public. I believe, as
said before. that dealers are now max

"SIxES' DOMINANT
AT new YORK SHOW
Larger Number We're Seen Than at
Any Previous Exhibition
of Automobiles.
PRICES ARE NOT Ex0RBITANr

New York Jan. 10.-Once more big
New York automobile show has come
and gone; once more the manufacturers
Of motor cars have gathered, shown their
wares to thousands ant gone back eome
to resume The work OF supplying the
great national demand. The public again
is discussing. as in years gone by, the
distinctive FEATURES the event emphasized.
There cal be no disagreement regard
ing the dominant feature Of the 1914 show:
II was pre-eminently a show Of skies.
The 'foa-s' were there in numbers ana
with all the electrical equipment and
other improvements that have come to
be regarded a. standard Developments In
design. Yut tie skies were shown In
a proportion altogether greater than ever
before and at prices which plainly showed
that the American six Is no longer a
prerogatiye OF the very rich. but Is wen
within the reach of the man Of moderate
means.
The minimum result in price was at
tanned by the Studebaker Corporation.
which showed a handsome, powerful six
cylinder touring car. seating seven pas
sengers and priced at N,519. This modei'
furnished in three body types-touring,
and sedan-was a center
OF interest both for show visitors and
members OF luc Ldoc- AhS AoNeS-
rointed out the fact that the Studebaker
'.six" is merely a natural development
of the wide demand for "sixes. which
has made IL possible for one Of the lead
ing manufacturers to apply TO a SIX
cylinder car the same principles OF great
volume production which have resulted
In the low-priced ''fours' with which all
motorists are familiar.
Unlike the Studebaker Company, which
maintains that there Is definite rune
tion for both skies and 'fours. and
which builds both types. some manufac-
turers have even more radically empha-
sized the modern trend by building ana
exhibiting only skies this year. rms
has, OF course. still further increased tne
proportion of "sixes" shown
Aside from, the fact that the Islf even
was a six" show, II will go down intc
history as the first in which eiectrie
starting and lighting have become rec
ognized as standard equipment Pneu'
matte, gas, and spring devices for start
ing were conspicuous by their absence
All the manufacturers seem to have CONS
to the same opinion regarding the use
of electricity, not only for starting ano
lighting. but also for ignition purposes
1t was said at the show that no less
than 10000 cars would be built this
year in which ignition is drawn IRON

MAGNEToEs MAKING GOOD.
More Than 100000 Are Said to
BE I'm Use In America

In the early days of motoring there
were many recruits coming into the
ranks of the knights of the Steering
Wheel" who pronounced the magnetic
a mystery box" but years have passed
since and today 1t can be claimed that
conditions are quite the reverse. for tn
the majority of cases, look OF suspicion
would appear on the face Of the veriest
novice II he were advised that his choice
might be other than magneto-equipped.
Undoubtedly. it would be scafe to say
that there are more than 100000 mag
neto-equipped cars running In America
today. That condition in itself seems
sufficient proof that the magnetic has
made good. And il has.
Even those who have followed closely
the history of the motor car do not al
ways realize the part that the magnetic
has played in making the engine efficient
and reliable. The progress made In
speed, efficiency. and economy Is un-
thinkingly attributed to general refine
ment Of the engine itself. Advances
In refinement have been made. 1t Is true.
Much higher powers are obtained from
engines of given dimensions much

through a wide range Of speeds. but when

CONTRACTS MADE FOR
MORE THAN l,700 CARS
Rapid Strides Have Been Taken by the
Crescent Company. 1t Is
Announced.

The announcement that the Crescent
Motor Car Company, producing the new
Northway engine and car. has contracts
and deposits from dealers for more than
LOO cars, comes as one Of the distinct
surprises Of the automobile business for
this season.
Without demonstrators, with nothing
but photographs from blue-prints, the
selling organization brought together by
C. d. Paxson. of Cleveland. moved stead
lily forward and now is resting on its
oars waiting for the shows.
The new demonstrators are being de-
livered and are models Of simple. clean,
efficient design in automobiles There is
not an extra nut on the cars anywhere.
Yet, they are thoroughly modern with
all the latest equipment.
There is a little story going the rounds
of the trade that carries lot of enlight-
eminent when one begins to inquire into
the phenomenal success Of. the new cars
II Is said that the Crescent Motor Car
Company. having secured the services OF
r. Z. Northway, the well-known de-
signer, was casting about for ways and
means by which to get before the public
the kind and quality of the cars which
II was producing and especially that 1t
was the latest product of the brain Of
Mr.. Northway. Mr.. Northway's contract
with his old concern was so binding that
he personally was in no position to mem
ton his connection with the Crescent
Motor Car Company.
In their dilemma. Mr.. Paxson was
called in and soon found a way to handle
the proposition by selling Northway. Mr..
Paxson bought the entire output OF the
Crescent Motor Car factory for the
season OF 1914. and assumed all responsi-
bility for the selling and advertising cam
paign, relieving the factory Of any con-
nection Herewith. Consequently, Mr.
Northway. manufacturer of the new car,
was violating no contract when the sole
owner of his product advertised II as
he saw At. properly connecting up the
name of Northway with the new car.
In fact, Mr.. Paxon's scheme mad the
Olds and REQ propositionl possible right
over again and the sales Of the cars have
proven the wisdom of the campaign II
is probably safe to say that no new cars
have come on the market In the last two
years that have secured such an advance
sale as the new Crescent motor cars, and
1t will be many moons before the name
of Paxson will be forgotten by certain
interests who felt they had the exclusive
use to the name Of Northway.

Many New Types of Cars and Equip
ment Will Be Added Fea-
tures This Year.

One week from tomorrow night, Janu-
AIRY ~. the doors of Convention Hall Will
be thrown open to the public and tbs
annual automobile show will be on. Ths
affair this year will again be under the
auspices of the Washington Automobile
Dealers Association and from the pres
ent outlook II will be greatly superior TO
the previous show. There will be num-
erous makes of gasoline pleasure cars
represented, as well as electrics, and
these will be from pioneer manufactur-
ers who viii display their finest product.
Cars from the small roadster to the lux
urious limousine, with its elegant up
hoistery and electrical display. also Will
be exhibited.
There will be a noticeable increase this
year in the number of "sixes'' on dis
play. Other changes of Importance over
the previous year are the left-hand drive,
which is daily growing in popularity, the
almost universal adoption of self-start-
ing systems and the building Of stream
lire bodies Many manufacturers wha
last year constructed big skies this
year have aided Eight skies" to their
lines, and makers who last year built
only 'fours'' will show sizes Of one
type or another.
Exhibits from New York show.
With the return a few days ago Iof
President T. o. Probey from the New
York auto show comes the Information
that several OF its splendid exhibits Will
be sent to this city to form part Of the
6isnlay during the week of January
1924 Included in the list will be some
of the largest and Oldest makers of
motor cars in the industry.
Ii is expected the attendance during
the week will be a record-breaker. The
work of decorating the big auditorium
will be started the latter part OF the
week, and then the work of grouping the
displays will be commenced. The deco
rations will be one of the features OF
the show.
Thursday will be Society Night" on
which occasion a special musical pro-
gram will be given by the United States
Marine Band, under the direction OF
Lieut. William II. Santelmann, who viii
be present at all the afternoon and even
ing concerts Washington being the
center of so many foreign embassies, il
is expected there will be a large attend
ance of foreigners, who will be desirous
of inspecting the product of the American
manufacturers. A large number of engi-
neers and designers from all parts of the
country are also expected The reception
committee will be present throughout
the week to receive the visitors.
Those who will participate in the COM
ing show are most optimistic concerning
the outlook for business this year. They
declare more men are employed in the
various factories in the country than ever
before and that in many instances ar
rangements have been made to market
a greater output than last year. when it
seemed the high water mark, from the
standpoint of sales had been reached.
SeIf-starter Perfected.

and the left side drive idea gain equal
popularity, where each was a novelty at
the exhibition last year. Whereas self
