AUTO INDUSTRY
IS No MUSHROOM

J And still there are some people
who insist that the automobile indus
try is mushroom growth, subject to
the slightest variations in business con-
ditionS and likely to take n fatal
slump on the very shortest notice" said
John y. WHY'S president of the WHY'S
overland Company, or Toledo. o. after
reading report made recently by n
committee Mt Il meeting of the Chicago
Association of Commerce. ITO such
people | can only say one thing: Read
the report. There is enough informa-
ton in this single document to set at
rest the fears OF even the most igno-
rant and the most confirmed pessimist
Ana the information is backed by the
| indisputable evidence of figures too
The report shows that approximate
IL s60o.00o,000 will be spent in this
country during 1914 for automobiles
The Developments of past years show
us that the percentage OF buyers who
cannot AFFORD to purchase cars Is so
small as to be unimportant. In view
of this fact, the totar shows IL pretty
good refutation of the claim that any
money that might better be spent for
bread is going into automobiles
Here's another or figures that
are interesting. The report shows that
the combined horsepower of all tho
motors built in the United States this
year is practically eighty-three times
rs great as the 300 horsepower de-
Ve'opcd by the great water power dam
at kcokuk Ia l know these fig
urcs are correct. for the $4,000 Over
lands which are being built in our To-
lcdo plant alone have a combined horse
power over five and onc-half times as
great as the dam.
The State OF California has an au-
tomobile to every twenty-five inhabi-
tants. registered In the Secretary of
States office. In n single year we ex-
port S330O0,000 worth Of automobiles
New York State alone has more cars
registered than arc in use In Germany
and France combined; and both these
countries have always been regarded az
pioneers in the production OF motor
propelled vehicles.
"All these fgures arc authentic.
There are scores OF other compilations
which might be made, showing that
hundreds of thousands of people
throughout the country are making q
better living out of ,no automobile in
dustry thap they could otherwise hope
for. And IT'LL some of our professions
