Saxon Reports Big Increase
Over Last Years Business

Thirteen hundred per cent. ahead of
last December" is the remarkable re-
port of business made by the Saxon
Motor Car Coronation. December used
to be considered a pretty dull month in
the automobile industry, but the Saxon
Company has shown not only that au-
tomU blles can be sold IN the winter, but
that people actaully clamor TOR them.
The January schedule calls for $500
cars.
At the New York Show, which opened
! last evening, the Saxon Corporation is
planning a pig jubilee and celebration
OF the remarkable winter business. ana
also of the fact that the Saxon exhibit
which two years ago occupied an OBJ
scure corner of the fourth iloor is now
! one of the features OF the main floor
at the Grand Central Palace.
Space at the show is awarded in ac-
coruance with volume OF business
done. Consequently the arrival of the
| saxon on the mann floor is tangible
evidence of the growth of the COM
pany, which now ranks sixth among
Detroit makers and ninth among all
q cars pr0duced. One feature of the
Saxon jubilee will be a banquet at
which hundreds of dealers will be pres
ent from all over the country
Commenting on the remarkable way
| in which BUSINESS is holding up during
the winter sales Manager Il. c. Getz-
ager for the Pacific coast has put
500 cars into his territory in December
alone r. L. Dutbroy, the San Fran,
cisco distributor, received a trainload
of twenty-three freight cars full of
Sa%ons earl in December. and expects
to move another trainload by the mid
die of January. The Saxon dealer in
Philadelphia has ordered eight carloads
of SaXons for delivery to customers
Christmas morning. The Northwest and
all the Missouri Valley report large
business. Business is fin in the South
west. The Dallas dealer alone has
! taken over zoo cars within the last
ha Il fri -
l. McNulty, has arranged to bring fifty
Texas dealers to the Chicago Automo-
bile Show, occupying part of a special
train.
According to Mr.. Getzinger, the
Saxon business is about equally divided
between the siX-cylinder cars and the
four-cylinder roadsters. The new six"
Roadster is proving very popular
model.

Dodge Brothers Show
Marvellous First Year

Dodge Brothers. Detroit. have Just
completed their first year as manufac-
turers of motorcars and the record es-
tablished is unique even in this anna zing
industry
The first completed car rolled out of
the plant in December. 1914. and actual
shipments started i'm January. 1915
With the close of the first year. Dodge
Brothers merely state that the public
has bought more than S35, 900 600
worth" of their cars. Nothing is said
of production. plans for next year, but
the announcement is made that the de-
mand. which has always been ahead of
production. remains unsatsfied
The record made in the first year is
the talk of motorcar circles. Before
beginning the manufacture of a car
bearing their own name, Dodge Broth
ers were well known in the trade as
large makers of automobile parts. But
no one anticipated when it was an
nounced that they would bring out a
car that within year they would jump
among the first six companies in the
country in the production of cars. But
such is the fact and the career of Dodge
Brothers is sure to be carefully watch
ed by both the trade and public during
1916.

Greatly Increased Demand
For Motorcars This Year

The manner in which the American
public has consumed the largest out
put of motor cars ever turned out by
the American automobile mapufac-
turers has been the marvel of the
1915 Industrial year. Practically
every large factory increased its pro-
duction from 10 to even as high as 100
per cent and even then manufac-
turers have been unable to keep up
with orders and during the winter
are maintaining mid-season produc-
ton.
The 1915 automobile selling sea-
son has been the greatest our indus
try has eyer experienced" said Lee
Anderson, sales and advertising man
ager of the Hupp Motor Car Cor
poration
The demand for cars has been un-
precedented and it keeps us worry
ing all the time to handle the trade.
We increase our output and then the
dealers and distributors flood us with
orders and we find ourselves in the
same position again-our production
always behind our orders.
For instance, during the last quar-
ter of 1915, we produced and sold
26 per cent. more cars than for the
same quarter of 1914, which formerly
held the record for Hupmobile sales
in October, November and December.
ne ldSL uudEItE VI JlG year Is usually
about the SloweSt of the entire sea-
son, yet, in this quarter of 1916 we
beat any quarter in the history of our
business up to 1912.
And with all our increased pro-
duction we have not yet been able to
catch up with the demand for our
series IN" Hupmobile which met
with instant approval by the public
the moment we placed it on the mar
knt (lnr orders
for immediate delivery are 100 per
cent. greater than at this time a year
ago. This despite the fact that we
have been keeping up a mid-season
production in what were formerly
lean months. We are now running
and will continue to work our fac
| tory to capacity. Additions are being
| rushed and we hope to have things
| ready for the big rush for cars which
always comes with Spring. The pros
poets for the Spring season were never
| so good"

Remarkable Popularity
of the Motor Truck

When asked about various rumors
and especially one that was current
last week in automobile circles, to the
effect that the REQ Motor Truck Com
pany had just received an order fol
one thousand trucks from one oi
the belligerent nations. Sales Man.
ager r. c. Rueschaw replied, I'VE no'
only did not accept the order but we
are not looking for business from
those countries at this time.
I'VE feel that good business policy
dictates that we take care of our home
trade before going after the other
and with our present factory facili-
ties we find it absolutely impossible
to catch up with the domestic de-
mand for motor trucks.
THE truck business has gone by
leaps and bounds during the last year
and it seems as If at last. this branch
of the automobile industry, to the de-
velopment of which we have all
looked forward, is finally coming to
its own.
why, we ship more motor trucks
in week now than we used to ship
in Year and still the orders come
faster than we can make the trucks.
Undoubtedly the European de-
mand worked beneficially for the
truck business in two ways.
In the first place, it enabled many
manufacturers to go into the truck
business on a larger scale than ever
before and the performance of Amer
lean trucks in Europe demonstrated,
as nothing else could, their sturdi-
ness and reliability.
'Emboldened by that accomplish
ment, American businesshouseS, who
had been hesitating for a long time
about discarding the slow, expensive
horse equipment and installing motor
trucks finally made the plunge.
1t Is interesting to note that even
the largest houses usually go into the
business, %ingerly by buying one or
two at first, and after carefully trying
them out, ordering a whole fleet of
them.
Look at any of the metropolitan
dailies and you will sec advertise
ments indicating that various large
concerns are cleaning out their en-
tire horse equipment.
In many cases you will notice that
they are offering to rent one-half or
three-quarters of the old stables. This
is more significant than may appear
on the surface. 1t indicates that the
truck equipment is sufficient to do all
the horses and actually occupies only
one-third to one-half of the space
that was required for the horses.
The incest part of the truck bust
ness is the repeat order feature and
that is what we REQ folk are now
revelling in. 1t is q poor day when we
do not receive an order for fleet of
trucks, ranging anywhere from five to
forty, from some concern to whom a
year or so ago we sold one or two
trucks.
TO meet this overwhelming de-
mand, We have under construction and
now almost completed, what will be,
| think, the largest truck factory in
this country. II occupies four and a
half acres. That is not four and a
half acres of floor space but four and
a half acres of ground g..
ALREADY we are wondering whether
even this big addition to our plants
VIII enable us to catch up with the
domestic demand so you see we are
not out after foreign business"

siIenoina the Questionsrs.

A French gentleman who had been
with NJ. de Talleyrand for twenty
years accompanied him to the congress
at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to
Elba. People naturally concluded that
this long intimacy had made him ia
miliar with number of particulars of
the minister's life and bearing also
upon the events with which he had
been mixed up. Worried with ques-
tons, the friend invariably replied that
he knew nothing. but the questioners
would not be satisfied and returned to
the charge.
Every WELL" finally said Talleyrand's
confidant; an tell you a peculiar and
altogether unknown fact In connection
with Al. de Tallsyrand. Since Louis
XIV. he's the only man who can open
a soft boiled egg with one backward
stroke OF his knife without splitting 8
drop of the contents of the shell. Thai
is the only popularity | know in con
neetion with him.
Discretion had scored a decisive vic
tory. From that moment the ques
tons ceased.
