w c. Durant. president Of the General
Motors Company, and perhaps the big
gest man in the motor car industry today,
was in Washington yesterday for a short
visit. During his stay he was the guest
Of Harry Mundy, manager of the local
branch of the Chevrolet Motor Company,
which concern Is one of the Durant in
terests.
So great has been the demand for mo-
tor cars in this country during the past
two years that many Of the leading man.
ufacturers have been unable TO supply
the necessary number OF cars. Both the
dealers and the motor-buying public are
familiar with this condition of affairs.
The consumer has either had to wait,
in many cases several months, for a de-
livery, or else has been forced TO buy a
less desirable car. Consequently some
dealers have suffered loss in volume
of business This condition of being over
sold has been brought about by several
causes-among them, exceptional coun-
try-wtde prosperity and the shortage in
machinery, parts, supplies and labor be-
cause of diversions to munition making.
A recent announcement made by the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company will
be Of interest to those who have suffered
from this congested condition or who have
been fearful lest 1917 will find the output
stin below the demand. The Paige fac
tory now has on hand &, 10000 worth of
stock for the immediate manufacture of
its cars and within ten days deliveries of
additional stock and material of all kinds
viii increase this total to about $4,000, 900
