PERMANENT TOP is
POPULAR, CENSUS BY
FRANKLIN REVEALS

Few people, even automobile own
ers. realize how seldom the auto
mobile top is manipulated. Most
persons have the feeling that auto
mobile tops are put up and down at
every change Of the weather: that
every time the sun comes out. down
comes the top; or that every time
the sun glares too brightly, up It
goes again.
To get some accurate information
on this subject, a Franklin dealer
in Cincinnati, recently conducted an
investigation among the Franklin
open-car owners in that city. Strange
as it may seem. the data showed
that during the past year. 75 per-
cent Of Cincinnati Franklin owners
ran their cars with the tops up all
the time.
This investigation is typical Of
the discovery people are making Of
the practicability of the permanent
top, and the resulting change Of
sentiment is largely responsible for
the rapidly growing popularity Of
the enclosed type Of car. People Of
all climates are now realizing that
with regulated ventilation, the per-
manent top gives the comfort which,
beforehand, they associated with a
collapsible top, exclusively.
a census of this years types Of
Franklin cars in several large cities,
known as hot summer places. dis
closed the fact that the percentage
Of enclosed cars TO open cars is very
favorable TO the former class.
Wheeling, w. Va, makes the best
showing, with a mark of So percent
as many enclosed cars as open cars.
Dallas, Tex. a city noted for its hot
summers, stands second with 81
percent, while other leading hot
summer cities tally as follows: St
Louis. % percent; Kansas City, 25
u percent; Topeka. so percent;
Cincinnati. SO percent.

Collins. when both sold farm imple-
ments. instead of automobiles.
For the past year Mr.. Collins has
been assistant TO W. G. Durant,
president OF the General Motors Co.
Previous to that he was general sales
manager of the Buick factory at
Flint, Mich. and won a reputation
for doing things and sales in a big
way.
Like most men in the automobile
leadership, Collins started at the
bottom. He was a poor boy. He be-
gan his career with the John Deere
Plow Co. of Moline. III, and by
good work. rose TO the position of
western manager for that company.
He went 10 the Buick Motor co. as
manager of the Kansas city branch
and subsequently to directing sales
at the factory at Flint.
Mr.. Collins because OF his wide
training and his wealth OF native
talent is known as versatile man
strong on the fundamentals of dis.
tribution and merchandising; know
ing the public and the territory for
the selling of goods; and the char
acteristics of the dealers who must
sell the goods.
He knows something Of the manu-
featuring Of automobiles strong
aid in his successful selling And
with both these assets, coupled with
his association with W c. Durant
a wizard of the automobile world,

rect the policies of the Cadillac Co.

mobile manufacturing world. The
production in this country will be
larger than ever before. in order 10
meet domestic and foreign demand.
Governed by the cost OF material
and labor. the tendency will be to-
ward lower-priced cars. Europe
will want large quantities OF mex
pensive machines The American
manufacturer. who have by the
most intensive specialization devel-
Oped the modern automobile of low
cost, Will naturally be in an advan-
tageous position in the worldwide
trade, although the competition Will
be keener than ever before.
In times of stress the car Of me-
dunn and low price range comes
more and more into demand. This is
a natural result Of the pertinacity
with which the public holds 10 the
automobile as an essential element
in the transportation system Of
modern life.
At this time many manufacturers
Of high-priced vehicles will be called
upon TO furnish large numbers of
airplane engines. The class Of
workmanship required for the sue
cessful production Of these engines,
is considerably in advance of even

tice 1t is fortunate that the pro-
ductive capacity that most nearly
approaches the required quality
thus becomes automatically avail
able as a result OF the effect of war
on the demand for automobiles
Place of Airplanes.
The reflex action of this situation
which is bound TO occur will become
plain after the war. It is possible
Of course, that large numbers Of
airplanes will remain i'm commission
in the peaceful time to come. There
are many who believe that the time
is fast approaching when the air
plane will supplant the automobile
i'm certain we'll marked spheres. es-
pecialIy in the realm of sport. The
more plausible view is however.
that vastly fewer airplanes Will he
needed i'm time Of peace. In that
event the productive capacity of the
airplane engine plants. which will
in all probability by that time be
keyed up enormously. will be again
available for the production of pas
senger cars.
Just as the standard Of work
manship in the machining trades
has been lifted by the automobile
industry during the last 10 years to
a much higher plane than it occu-
pied formerly. so the intensified pro-
duction of airplane engines will in
turn have an elevating effect on au-
tomobile manufacture.

II has been estimated by govern
ment experts that there are now in
this country 100000 owners OF
passenger automobiles that cost at
the time OF original purchase $500
or less each. 100000 owners who
paid between $500 and $1,000 for
their cars; 100000 in the $1,000 10
$4,000 class: and 231. 200 having
cars Of which the list price was be-
tween $4,000 and 5000. There are
also in use, of course, many thou
sands Of cars that cost originally
more than $4,000. These figures
measure the cumulative cumulative
