In announcing their new series nine
car, the Franklin Automobile Com
pany states that the new machine is
400 pounds lighter than last years
machine, weighing but 2,2SO pounds,
fully equipped, But one chassis is to
be built New bodies meeting various
practical needs have been developed,
including fOur-passenger roadster,
town car, and Sedan and brougham
with V fronts.
Interesting figures have been COM
PA4Cu u 4ehtS ~ SllO" the luluT6 pos
sibilities of the motor car business
The necessity of the automobile in
business life, the need of the motor
car for the man of every phase Of
business has come to be recognized
by the big financial interests. The
opportunities of profitable investment
in the industry are recognized and are
being taken advantage of by fnan-
ciers generally.
A list of farmers and business men
who are not automobile owners today
that no less than 100000 farmers
and 100000 business men do not own
motor cars today.
That is total of 100000 men
who are certain buyers for the fu-
ture in the regular run of things, for
as the automobile increases its scope,
1t will become a necessity for every
one.
Progress being made in the good
roads movement for which the gov
ernment has just appropriated $75,-
1000. to which amount the States
must add a like sum to participate,
is also of interest to the capitalists
who would invest in the motor car
field
Again. there are 2,5Oo,oOO automo-
biles, in round numbers, in use and
one of every five of this number will
have to be replaced yearly, which in
sures an output. without any increase
in the number of users, of 100000 cars
every year. That is eight times the
output of cars of 1905, or only ten
years ago.
Within the next three years the
total of cars in use in America will
be nearly 5000 900, and replacement
of one car for every five in use will
mean an output equal to the automo-
bile manufacturing record of 1915
With the wars close in Europe
will come an immense market for
cars all over the world, and demands
will be for rush delivery to all war
ring countries for cars will be as nee
essary there as in other lands, owing
to the rush. Immediately peace is de-
clared. to build up business condi-
tions once more and re-establish gem
orally.
There is seemingly coming a dav
when the rapidly increasing business
will have to be curtailed somewhere.
when manufacturers will have 10
limit their annual output to the de-
mand, when the organization of new
will be at an end, and
when 1t will be the survival Of the
nttest in the field. But at present
that day seems far away.
