CITY'S AUTO SALES
TOTAL $43,OO0,OOO
1850 Pleasure Cars to Be Sold
This Year-50 Per Cent
Increase
SIGN OF PROSPERITY

Philadelphia sales Of motorcars for 1916
doubled those Of the preceding year and
advanced beyond the 100000 O,OOo-marlS.
An increase Of fifty per cent is anticipated
this year rejecting the prosperity Of the
city and the section Of the country Of which
It is the center.
These estimates were obtained from a
questionable submitted to sixty Philadcl-
phia dealers in pleasure cars, not quite half
of whom responded with figures showing
their past business in the sales territory
covered by this city and announcing their
expectations for 1917. TO add the element
Of conservatism, a deduction of ten per cent
was made from the totals obtained.
1869 CARS SOLD
The estimates based on the furnished
reports show that the sale of motorcars
tripled i'm the half decade 19tO-t5, doubled
in 1916 and will add another half this
year a total of 1869 pleasure ears was
sold in 1916 for $d3,OO3.66i. This year

the figures for himself.
The amount is $4,000, 5000 in round

value of the new cars purchased the cost
of operating the 100000 cars in use
