Even a circuis finds that motor cars
can be used to advantage-Millers IOl
Ranch has with them the machines and
are equipped with Miller Geared-to-the
road tires.
Manufactures are distracted by the
recurring cry for more cars This de-
mand comes from every section of Ameri-
can and from foreign climes Indica-
tions of some time ago that there would
be shortage of cars for 1916 are be-
coming realities.
The demand is already far in excess
of the supply. The 1916 production
figures, in spite of the difficulties under
which the manufacturers have been
laoorlnG, are larger even than the early
predictions. The seasons output should
be, according to all reports, in excess of
l,O09COO cars. 1t may reach the figures
of l2SO,C0O cars, and should the manu-
facturers have better luck in the future
than they have had in the past, even
this figure may be surpassed
The manufacturers have been care
fully gathering data from all sections Of
the United States and their representa-
tlves in foreign countries have been re-
porting carefully the conditions existing
in sections they have covered. The
evidences found everywhere point to in
creased prosperity and prosperity means
the purchasing of more cars not only in
America. but in all other parts Of the
world. The prediction has been made
that the demand for cars during the
summer will surpass that of the last
three years rolled into one.
There is no section of America in
which business is bad. Every section
has shared in the prosperity which has
passed over the country like a wave
Many have wondered where all of the
automobiles were going, but reports
from different States. telling of the
proportion of cars to the population
show plainly that many sections are not
sold up to the average of those States
which now have the best averages, and in
the latter States there is no indication
of a let-up in the demand.
California is one State in which many
supposed that the motor car business
would be slack in 1916, but California
with its rapidly increasing mileage of
good roads is demanding more and more
care. The motor car has come to be
such a necessity that people of every
class from the rich to the poor are find
ing it necessary to own one. Thousands
unable to purchase in earlier years have
saved to buy a car or have so improved
their station in life that they are able
to do so now. The automobile is a
necessity for business, and is almost
necessity in private life today, and
this creates an ever-increasing demand
