study of the tables herewith, both
the complete registration figures for
each state and the statistics of gain
in each, brings out the underlying
economic factors which have made a
registration of 100000 automobiles
and trucks possible in the United
States today. Prosperity has been the
rule throughout most sections of the
country, and the sale of cars natural
ly follows the spread of prosperity.
A glance at the tabulation of states
showing the increase in registration
suffices to bring out that those which
have made the largest gains are the
ones most affected by the unusual in
dustrial conditions prevailing in this
country since the outbreak of the
European war.

sents in large degree the enormous
