PRODUCTION OF AUTOS
FAR FROM SATURATION
Only 40 Per Cent of Virgin Market
So Far Has Been Reached.

With the advanced announcement of
lie years production figures of motor
cars, the same old question comes up:
Has the saturation point been reached
as yet? The most egotistical manufac-
turers of few years ago never dared
dream that the total production of the
country today would equal even that of
one of the largest of present producers.
Cars then were high priced and were for
pleasure purposes only. 1t looked then
that the market for motor cars was
among the wealthy alone, and as this
class soon tire of an article, there SEEM
ed to be no permanency of even this
market
Now instead of estimating the market
able possibilities OF the cars as a few
hundred thousand, even the conservative
among the trade place the saturation
point somewhere in the neighborhood of
l0, 900, 900 automobiles. One sales manager
Iof a popular priced car claims that the
car market among the farmers alone was
good for 3.500,000 cars. He estimated that
in the cities there were 1900, 600 people
who could afford automobiles, making a
total market for 7.5OO. COO automobiles, or
two and one-half times the number now
in use. According to these figures only
40 per cent of the virgin market has been
reached. In estimating the renewals 20
per cent IS COnSlueTeu a 1alT proportion
Of owners who each season purchase a
new car.
Those who have once owned an auto
mobile would never again be without q
machine. Many uses have been found for
the automobile. During the day it can
be used for business purposes and in the
evening as something for the enjoyment
Hf the entire family. Touring cars will
always be sold in considerable numbers,
hV,lNr 1,
of medium priced cars which contain all
the appliances that today go to make a
car complete. Improved manufacturing
methods have made it possible to build a
car that will give the best of service and
the price of which is within reach of the
great majority of those who have need
for an automobile.
Advertising also will play big part IN
the future marketing of the automobile.
as 1t has in the past. Year by year COM
I'etitiOn between the various manufactur-
ers grows keener. The surest manner in
which any individual can attract atten-
ton to his product is by getting IL N
front of the public by advertising 1t. Tho
advertising is no longer OF the various
competent parts of the car. as it has been
in the past. 1t deals more with comfort
for the occupant. both as to operation
and riding qualities 1t is t8en for
granted that the mechanical principles
of the car are known to the vast reading
public. or If they are not. that this same
public is wise enough to know that no
manufacturer would risk putting his
name behind some mechanical feature If
he did not know that it was correct.
This advertising, with the intensive
salesmanship which is now used by all of
the really successful companies, will cas-
lily find an outlet for all the cars that the
concerns now building cars can turn out
each year.

HERE'S A remedy FOR
AUTO CARBONIzATIO'I
Efficiency Gas Oil Sprays Internal Sur
faces Of Motor.

Carbonization has long been the bane
OF the automobile owner No matter
what care he used in selecting the oil
for his machine. or the grade of gasoline
burned, the cylinder heads and valves
accumulate more or less carbon due to
the deposits of unburned oil or impurities
on the piston heads. cylinder tops, and
valve seats. This means work and ex-
pense for the carbon must be removed
from the pistons and cylinder heads
either by scraping or burning out the
latter being the quicker as well as more
economical Valves, that they NAV prop
erly perform their functions, have to be
ground until they again made a perfect
seat.
Automobile engineers and chemists de-
voted a great deal of time to the study
of method Of relieving this condition.
Various devices and compounds have
been tried, some with success and others
with but slight results.
The latest product to be offered as a.
solution of the question is Efficiency Gas
Oil. This oil is put in with the gasoline
and fed to the cylinders through the
caroureter. 1t is claimed that the oil
mixes with the gasoline perfectly, and as
II goes into the cylinder, instead of
burning up with the gas in the COM
bustion chamber 1t is sprayed over the
internal surfaces OF the motor, that is,
the piston, cylinder walls. and cylinder
head, by the force of the explosion Of
the gasoline, thereby fully lubricating
these parts and preventing carbon de-
posits.

FIRESTONE RUBBER co.
HAS NEW TRUCK TIRE

The Firestope Tire and Rubber Com
pany has put on the market something
entirely new In the line OF a truck tire.
1t is called the Giant Single Tire and
measures from eight to fourteen inches
In width
The idea of this new type is to do away
with the dual type tires that are now in
general use on the rear wheels of heavy
trucks. 1t is claimed that with this sin
gle tire a better bearing surface on the
road is provided, that the load strain is
more evenly divided over the wheels and
axles, and also that on a cambered
street the weight is not carried on a sin
gle tire as is many times the case now
with the dual equipment.
To pass of the heat generated by con-
tact with the road or fast driving,
grooves are provided. These grooves also
answer another purpose; they permit the
perfect curing OF the tire in the molds
at the time 1t is built.

Dear Bo-Have laid of writing to you

I have received about ;one letter from
Won in the last three months. Well this

resolution to give your correspondence
better attention.
A real piece of news. The Record Auto
Company is going out of the accessory
business. They are selling of their stock
at prices which those who know tell me
are very attractive. Their idea Is to
give all their room and time to the hand
ling of Saxon cars and Smith Form A
trucks, the two lines OF cars they repre-
sent. After February Is they will also
discontinue giving service on any make
machine but those which they represent.
Quite a step.
''Dick" Selby has broken ground for a

time it may be necessary. 1t has gotten

nothing in the Stewart line he switches
the sales conversation to Snubbers and
usually comes away with an order for
one or the other. Believe a good many
of the big cars either use them as stock
equipment or make provision for the in
stallation.

BAD SEATS CAUSE DEFORMITY
Curvature Of Spine and Round Shout.
ders Too Frequently Developed
In School.

As an outcome of medical inspection
In public schools, people are beginning
to appreciate the important part which
school seats play in the physical devel'
opment of the young, NJ. V. O'Shea
writes In the Mothers Magazine. The
statistics of deformities of growth have
been compiled in a number of Ameri-
can cities, and they are impressive. a
considerable proportion Of school chill
dren are afflicted with curvature of the
spine. This difficulty becomes more
common as we so up the grades and
into the high school.
What Is the relation of school seats
to curvature Of the spine? Suppose n
pupil during the growing period uses
for four or live hours each school day
thirty-elght or forty weeks each year
for eight or twelve years, a desk which
Is so high that In order TO rest his arm
on Ii he lifts his shoulder, and so pulls
the spine out OF correct alignment. Or
dinarily, the right shoulder will be
raised too high, and the left will be too
low. 1t is probable that any child who
maintains this posture In school year
after year will acquire some degree of
curvature. Even If no curvature re-
suits, there will be Inequality In TIE
height Of the shoulders, which will
prove n handicap to an individual In
later life.
Older pupils often use desks which
are too low. 1t is practically certain
then, that they will bend over the
desks, and they will be in ii cramped
posture several hours each day. IL
such n position the lungs are construct
ed, the shoulders'ar are pressed forward
and the ommon round shoulder de-
velops; most serious of all, the clrcula'
ton In the brain is interfered with.
When children keep this posture in
school day after day for years, they
are likely to become either neurotic or
dull.
