An Important Fact.
An important and noteworthy fact
Is vouched for by the editorial de-
partment Of Automobile Topics, a
well-known trade authority, which
has been making a careful analysis
of the comparative nature OF auto
mobile service. They state that OF
the 100000 motor cars OF all kinds
in service in the United States today
they can conservatively say from the
investigation that over one half of
the mileage OF the 100000 cars is
used for business purposes. Liter
ally. this means that of the 3,OOO,-
900 automobiles running in this
country today, one-half, or 100000
are used for business purposes. This
leaves only one and a half million
in use for pleasure or social trans
portation purposes,
In considering the 100000 au-
tomobiles in use today. which may
be legitimately classed as pleasure
cars" an important fact should be
borne in mind, namely. the so-called
pleasure car of today has a distinct
economic use, 1t being only reason
able to deduce that the time and
money spent in motoring for plea
sure or social intercourse almost in

THE FUTURE OF THE
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

So much has been written relative
to the development of the motor car
industry and SO many prophesies
have been ventured without proper
consideration of vital and controll-
ing factors. that clear and simple
analysis of the subject may serve to
dissipate much of the unfounded
conjecture.
The automobile market Is divided
into two broad fields. First. the rur-
al class, which includes all persons
engaged in farming and others In
various businesses who live in towns
OF less than 500 population. Second
the urban class. which comprises all
people in any but farming pursuits.
who live in towns OF 500 or more
population.
In the rural or farming market
there are 100000 families. One
million of these now own motor cars
and one and one half millions are
poor. illiterate for negroes, who for
the purpose OF this study may be ex-
cluded from the prospective buying
class. There remain. then. 4.000,-
900 farm families who are possible
automobile buyers.
In the urban class, covered by H.
900 towns and cities of more than
500 population, there are about s.
100000 home owners, of which
number only 100000 now own
cars. Accordingly, there remain g.
900, 900 prospective buyers in this
class, or a total unsold market in
both rural and urban classes of T.
100000 possible automobile buyers.
The accepted average life of an
automobile is about FIVE years in the
hands of original owners, and as the
man who once owns car will not
thereafter be without one, We must
include the record market, which
in the calendar year OF 1917 will be
about 100000. this being about 20
per cent OF the 100000 now in
use.
For the year 1917. therefore, the
automobile business will face mar
bot "f 100000 possible buyers.

| want TO know wherein one car ex-
cells the others mechanically, whe-
Their it will prove durable and eco
nomical in service, and whether it
is so built that the ravages of time
and use will, make the least possible
inroads upon its value.
A little reflection will make clear
to anyone that there is big differ
ence between the motor car buyers
of today and those of few years
ago. For one thing, thousands of the
men. particularly young men, who
are buying motor cars today were
little more than boys when the in
dustry started, and all these years
they have had youths curiousity
concerning mechanical things. All
along they have been acquiring in
formation and knowledge concerning
the principles of motor car design
and construction, with the result
that they enter the buying class in
finitely better equipped. from the
standpoint Of knowledge. than were
their fathers before them. They
know how to ask questions intelli-
gently. and which things are impor-
tant and which are not. They can
distinguish between good features
in motor car construction and fea-
lures that are not so good or which
are no good at all.
Again a large proportion Of those
who buy motor cars nowadays have
already had an owners experience.
They have used other cars. some
times several others, and thus have
acquired broad general knowledge
Of the principles upon which all cars
are constructed.
A motor car Is at best an intricate
piece OF machinery, and neither a
boys curiosity nor an owners exper-
fence is sufficient to reach an under
standing Of the great engineering
laws upon which internal combus-
ton engines operate. To gain this
knowledge it is necessary for the
prospective owner to devote a little
study to the theory of the gasoline
motor. Thousands of motor car buy
ers have had this truth brought
home to them.
Visitors to tho shows have a real
opportunity to learn something
about motor cars. provided they go
there after having first acquired at
least a primary knowledge Of motor
car mechanics. Without this know
ledge the average visitor might just
n xsll remain az home, because the

other form of expenditure of less
actual economic value. Motoring is
a pleasure that makes for broader
vision, saner and more helpful di-
versions, and a more sympathetic
social life. A nation without its sane
pleasures is hopeless. Therefore, 1t
is far from logical to consider the So
called pleasure car as an added lux
ury.
II production increases at the av-
erage rate maintained for the past
five years-which is unlikely, due to
greater manufacturing problems and
to inability of the selling and distri-
butte branches to keep pace with
greatly augmented manufacturing
volume-the point OF saturation will
not be reached for FIVE, six, or even
seven years. And some of the lead
ers in the industry predict that it
will be a matter OF ten or twelve
years.
All signs point to a continued de-
velopment for several years to come
for just how long It is difficult to
say. but as in many other new fields.
limitations and curtailment Of ex-
pansion arbitrarily predicted. are
merely evidence OF a shortened vi
sion or unfamiliarity with all the
facts.
1t is true that materials and labor
are more expensive and increasing
ly hard to secure. This condition is
not serious, nor is 1t likely to be.
The makers of medium and high
priced cars overcome the difficulty
by an advance In their selling prices.
The manufacturers OF low-priced
cars build in much greater quanti-
ties, are protected by contracts until
the end OF the automobile year, July
1917, and are able to absorb additi-

show will mean nothing more than
a spectacle to him. He will see, but
his eyes will carry no intelligent
message to his brain. Without that
knowledge to start with, he will
learn no more about motor cars than
visitor to an observatory would
learn about astronomy simply by
looking at the telescopes. Real mo-
tor car value is within. 1t is en-
braced in principles. just as astro-
nomy is embraced in natural laws.
Show visitors will see many "cut
out" chassis. That is, there will be
chassis there with parts of the cy-
Under cut away, in order that the
observer may see the piston work
ing up and down, and see the valves
opening and closing and the spark
plugs firing at their stated intervals.
Many of those who see these things
will turn away with no additions to
their store of motor car knowledge,
for the reason that merely to look
at them gives no inkling OF the prin-
ciples involved. Others, however,
will turn away with a more complete
knowledge Of motor car principles.
for the simple reason that their
knowledge will enable them to in
diligently analyze and interpret the
things thus disclosed.

Of autos carried this season of the

How The Auto
Shows are a
Help To Buyers

The annual automobile shows that
are held each winter and spring in
practically all of the larger cities OF
the country are becoming an increa-
singly important factor in motor car
merchandising.
This is true for two principal rea-
sons: first. because the shows are
highly educational; and second, be-
cause the motoring public has acqui-
red a knowledge Of motor cars which
makes possible an intelligent appre-
citation of the shows. II used to be
that the majority of those who at
tended the shows were drawn there
by a desire to see the various makes
of cars. Nowadays the greater part
of those who visit the shows do so to
learn about the automobiles exhibit
ted.
The vast bulk of motor cars are
sold to those men and women to
whom purchase of such dimen-
sions is more or less of an event.
There are many. of course, who can
pay over their thousand or their ten
thousands for a motor car without
giving much thought to the question
whether they are getting their mon
ey's worth fully. To that class of
buyers the automobile shows are
meaningless. They do not know, or
care, particularly, whether the cars
they buy are as good mechanically
as they should be. They go almost
altogether on appearance and on
those purely external things which
make for style.
To the vast majority. however, an
automobile purchase is a very SER
ious matter--almost as serious as
the purchase OF a home. These buy
ers desire to know the why and the
