Packard Agent Sees
Great Season Ahead

H. f. Orr, distributor for Packard
automobiles in this section, has re-
Gently returned from all extended va
cation trip through the east. He
motored the entire distance and Wis
tied the Packard factory in Detroit,
both on the way east and on the
way back.
Mr.. Orr gathered many interesting
facts regarding the enormity OF the
automobile business in all sections
which he visited and is confident that
the coming season will far surpass
last season in the number OF ma
chimes sold.
The opinion formed is based upon
actual expectations OF various auto
mobile dealers throughout the east.
Mr.. Orr having lived in the east for
many years is thoroughly acquainted
! there and has personal acqualnt-
ance with many eastern automobile
| men.
The Packard factory is making
great preparations for the Coming
season and is greatly increasing its
manufacturing facilities. Much en-
thusiasm is being displayed by Pack
ard dealers throughout the country
regarding the new model and the
opinion is current that the cars will
be sold out long before the season
! is over.

registration; Oklahoma, which has an
apparent increase OF 20,3S5 cars, or
so per cent, large part of which is
due to the boom in the oil industry,
although it must be noted that it is
only recently that registration has
been enforced, so that the statistics
recorded January were incomplete.
On a basis Of ratio OF cars and
trucks to population, Iowa's lead, with
thirteen persons for each motor
vehicle, compares with sixteen per-
sons per car at the beginning OF the
year. California is still in second
place in this respect, having increased
its ratio from eighteen people per car
to one car for every fifteen Of its pop
ulation. Nebraska continues third,
but it has now made signal gain,
showing only sixteen persons for
every motor vehicle as compared
with twenty-one persons on January
|. Indiana is now fourth, having
come up from ninth place by increas-
ing its car-to-population ratio from
twentv-one to seventeen. Indiana
has thus displaced South Dakota,
which was formerly fourth, but is
now fifth. showing decrease of FIVE
persons to every car.-New York
Herald.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-09-17

Taking up few exact figures, the
total registrations July !, 1915, we're
2,o32,455 cars and trucks. The largest
state registration, that OF New York,
was 259,l05. Ohio, taking second
place for the first time, had 20S,705,
and Illinois 203,7s7. New York now
holds the place at the head Of the
list by a margin of 50,400 registra-
tons. The bottom OF the list is oc-
cupied by Nevada, with 5000 cars,
but Nevada ranks fourteenth in the
tabulation showing the number Of
people per car, New York taking the
twcnty-cighth place in this list.
Iowa has motor vehicle now for
each thirteen persons; California one
for each fiften persons, and Nebraska
one to each sixteen, while New York
has as many as thirty-nine inhabi-
tants to every car.
A striking feature brought out BY
comparison OF the registration sta
tistics OF July !, and those recorded
at the first OF the year. is the con-
slant increase, which indicates the
stability aand normal progress OF the
automobile industry. The average
increase in registration in the United
States for the entire year Of 1915
was 800 per cent; for six months OF
1916 the average is q pet, cent, or
approximately 40 per cent on yearly
basis, since the registration tapers
off to some extent during the last
six months OF the year.

Remarkable Increase in Regis

NEBRASKA THIRD IN LINE

There are 508,667 more cars in use
today than there were on January l,
1916. There are more than 100000
automobiles in use in the United
States today, including both passen-
ger cars and trucks. Between jan
uary / and June 80, 1916, the in
crease which took place was not tar
short Of the total increase for the
whole year Of 1915, according to an
article BY Donald Mcleod Lay in the
current issue of the Automobile
There are now three states having
more than 100000 cars apiece-New
York. Ohio and Illinois-whereas on
January OF this year, only New
York had as many as this. Eleven
states have more than 100000 ma
chimes each-Minnesota; Massachu.
setts, Indiana and Texas have passed
into this class since January ].
In thinking OF these big figures. It
must not be forgotten that the III.
dustry has been producing a good
many more cars than those absorbed
in the United States. Since January
the exports have totalled 43,2oo

tons OF the country, and the sale of
cars naturally follows Thea spread OF
prosperity. A glance at the tabula-
ton 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 industrial condition pre-
vailing in this country since the out
break of the European war.
New York, the leading state, repre-
sents in large degree the enormous
financial operations connected with
the war order business throughout
the country as well as the huge prof
its derived from the reorganization
of capital and securities in foreign
countries. Its normal growth has
been accelerated by the increase in
the foreign commerce of the United
States, the bulk OF which is trans
acted through New York City.
Pennsylvania, which stands second
in growth of registration, with a gain
of 1885 cars and trucks, has share in
almost every form Of industrial boom
that has taken place. utilizing the
high prices of the, commodities which
it produces in such large volume.
In the Farming States.
Minnesota, next in line, with an in
crease Of 30,l7l registrations, is one
OF our largest agricultural and lumber
states, so that its 50 per cent gain is
largely due to the wide market and
highest prices for these products.
Iowa, another big farming state
has been steadily forging toward the
front rank in motor vehicle registra.
tons for the past five years, and dur.
ing the first six months of 1916 shows
an increase OF 29,750, or more thar
the entire number OF registrations a,
the end OF 1911, when the state boast
cd OF 1896 automobiles.
Ohio, with its big oil fields, it:
large manufacturing industries ant
extensive farming industries, has in
creased its registration 29,4l5, or Il
per cent, and with question large
part OF this gain is directly attribut
able to the prosperity marking tht
state during the last six months.
Some OF the other states which
may be mentioned in this connection
are Nebraska, leading agriculture
center, which is credited with an in
crease OF 81 per cent over its 1911:
