accurate, the automobile business for a
single year represented an investment of
from $500. 100000 to 5000 1000, 600.
This statement was made year or
two after the financial panic of 1907. II
Mr.. Hill's estimate was correct, then
there must have been absorbed in this
business since the year when he spoke
considerably more than 81, 100000 600. Some
times references have been made by
leading bankers of New York to this

Report From the West

That, however, Is not the view of some
of those interested in important under
taklngs who have recently visited many
parts of the west. A few days ago New
man Erb, who is now recognized as the
successor of Edwin Hawley In the man
aGement of the so-called Hawley railroad
systems, returned from somewhat pro-
longed excursion which enabled him to
make careful examination of conditions,
particularly in that part of the west which
is in touch with the so-called Hawley
lines. 1t was said to Mr. Erb that at
the recent national automobile exposition,
which was held in this city just after jan
uary |, statement was made by some
OF those interested in the automobile bust
hes sto the effect that there were at pres
ent In the United States in commission
about 100000 automobiles. That would
be one to a little less than 100 inhabi-
tants. 1t was also stated that reason
5hie estimate of the upkoep of these cars
fixes the amount for a year at from $500
to $400 per car. That was regarded as a
good average estimate. If it be correct
then the upkeep of these cars entails an
expenditure of from S300,000,0 600 to $400, 900. =
0e0 a year. Mr.. Erb was asked If he did
not think an expenditure of that kir d
came pretty near being a national ex-
travaganee. His reply was prompt and
decisive. He said that no one could visit
those great sections of the country where
the prevailing industry is agriculture
without learning that The automobile had
greatly increased the money value of
farm properties. He was incline dto think
that the country as a whole had gained
greatly by the utilization of the automo-
bile for farming, for business and for
commercial purposes, as well as for pleas
