AUTOMOBILE BIG
FACTOR IN WEALTH
What The Motor Car Has Done
For the State of
Michigan

The study OF the development OF
the motor car business has been an
Interesting and marvellous one. In
an interview recently with Mr. X. ii.
collins, OF Flint, several very start
ling and impressive facts were reveal
ed, These facts can perhaps best
De set forth In his own words
We believe the automobile has
done more to develop and improve
the moral and social conditions of the
United states than any one other
thing. Believing this. we started out
70 prove the fact 10 the people by
spreading broadcast the results OF re-
search work made throughout the
states and territories OF the Union.
We brought information 10 bear from
every available source from every
walk in life where the motor car en-
| tered as factor. either as business
necessity or a means OF pleasure and
recreation
'Having secured the desired data
we published II in the columns OF
the Buick Bulletin a magazine OF in

! one word automobile We ear
prove that every time an automobile
4 Is sold the doctors lose five patients.
/ That does not mean that the increase
\ In automobiles will do away with the
necessity OF doctors. because there is
a patient born every second which
/ Is considerably faster than automo-
blles are sold
! ut does mean that the general
standard of health among those who
use automobiles IS steadily rising. II
means that a great many men and
women are getting more fresh air
and exercise. We mean directly and
indirectly the automobile Is proving
a factor OF ever-increasing impor-

would. but that he lives 10 years
better. In other words. the q years
are added 10 the middle OF his life
rather than 20 the end or It, That
period that we designate as his

10 such an extent that we have IN
creased our output for 1915 just
1913 per cent over wnat IL was in
1914. The Buick Motor company
this season will manufacture and
sell over $4,000 cars.
In order TO take care OF this inn

has been necessary for us 10 build
new factories, make larger additions
10 the various departments entering
into the manufacture OF our car, and
We are now giving nine hours work

ever employed by the Buick Motor
company.
