Early Months of 1914 Show In
crease in Industry.

II is perhaps not generally known that
during 1913, despite all sorts of thought
to the contrary, there were more auto
mobiles sold than in any year TO date
This should be a very comforting
thought to those interested in the in
dustry, and additional pleasant food for
reflection is the fact, just announced,
that during January, February and
March Of this year 30 per cent more cars
were sold than in the corresponding
months in 1913.
The companies with something new or
novel TO offer the public naturally ex-
pected an increased demand for their par
ticular product. but the Premier Com
pany finds that not only has the new
Premier Weidely chassis increased It's
output wonderfully, but that the demand
for the other models has increased
nearly in proportion, proving that IN
this particular instance the well-known,
old-line companies are holding their
own in the contest for new business.

was really the clinching argument for U.s.
