POSSIBLE
/ OWNERS
Estimates Are That There
] Are 100000 in u. S.
~ Who Might Own Cars

III So. much has been written relative
to the development of the motor car
Industry and SO many prophecies have
eibeen ventured without proper con-
sideration Of vital and controlling fac
tors, that a clear and simple analysis
5of the subject may serve to dissipate
much OF the unfounded conjecture.
H The automobile market is divided
Into two broad fields. First the rural
class, which includes all persons en-
iggaged in farming and others in vari-
Gus businesses who live in towns of
less than 500 population. Second. the
urban class, which comprises all peo-
pie in any but farming pursuits, who
live in towns Of 500 or more popula-
tion.
In the rural or farming market,
there are 100000 families. One mill
lion Of these now own motor cars and
one and one-half millions are poor,
illiterate, or negroes. who for the
purpose OF this study may be excluded
from the prospective buying class.
There remain, then, 100000 farm
families. who are possible automobile
buyers.
81 100000 Prospects.
q In the urban class. covered by II 900
tEtowns andc tiles of more than 500 pop
Eulation, there are about 100000 home
now own cars. Accordingly, there re-
main 100000 prospective buyers in
this class. or a total actual unsold
market, in both rural and urban class
les. of 100000 possible automobile
buyers,
The accepted average life of an
automobile is about five years in the
e hands of the original owners; and as
the man who once owns a car will not
Eclude the recorder market which in the
calendar year of 1917 will be about
500, 900, this being 20 per cent OF the
100000 now in use.
For the year 1917, therefore, the
automobile business will face q market
h5of about 100000 possible buyers. Not
more than 100000 cars will be built
in the coming year, leaving a possible
excess market Of 100000 buyers al
the beginning of 1913.

cylinders 5x5, or 212 cubic inches.
Dimensions close to 3x5 are fairly
common, and the stroke-to-bore ratio
is almost exactly the same as for 1916.
The amount Of power produced per
cylinder, however. shows a slight in
crease.
The unit power plant appears the
preferred type; considering the num-
Der Of different makes, II per cent of
them prefer it. This is a marked con-
trast to the condition seven years ago,
when practically this same percent
age used the amidship location for
the gearset. For 1917, however, only
IA per cent of the models listed have
the amidship gearset. From a guam
tity viewpoint, of course, Overland
and Studebaker, who will adhere to
the rear axle position are important,
but it is q long time since a new car
or a new model has appeared with
anything but a unit power plant.
Controlling Engine Temperature.
One important feature of engineer
ing which was introduced last year
by Cadillac and since then has made
quite notable strides is the careful
control of the engine temperature.
This is particularly important at
present, what with the heavier grade
of gasoline and the need of better car
buretion. The need Of some means
for controlling the flow of cooling
water has ben largely brought home
to the motorist through the increas-
ing use of the Boyce moto-meter. The
more common method of achieving
the result is to place a small thermo-
static device in the cooling water
pipe entering the radiator. This re-
stricts the flow Of water until the
motor has been warmed, and thus in
creases engine efficiency. Latterly,
Hudson has adopted a purely mechan-
ical means of obtaining the same re-
suit by manually controlled shutter
In front Of the radiator.
With the temperature of the COOL
ing water maintained practically con-
slant, and probably slightly higher on
the average than otherwise, and with
engine speeds now greater than any
previous year, fabrication methods
have come in for some attention. In
consequence, pressure fabrication has
shown q considerable increase. For
1917 there will be only S5 per cent Of
models without pressure fabrication
and 80 per cent have full pressure. in

The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-03-10

means that Of the 100000 automo-
biles running in this country today
one-half, or 100000. are used for
business purposes. This leaves only
100000 in use for pleasure or social
transportation purposes.
In considering the 100000 auto
mobiles in use today which may
|legitimately be classed as pleasure
cars" an important fact should be
borne in mind, namely: the socalled
pleasure car of today has a distinct
economic use, it being only reasonable
to deduce that the time and money
spent in motoring for pleasure or So
cial intercourse almost invariably
takes the place Of some other form
of expenditure Of less actual economic
value. Motoring IL a pleasure that
makes for broader vision, saner and
more helpful diversions. and a more
sympathetic social life. A nation with
out its sane pleasures is hopeless
Therefore, 1t is far from logical to
consider the socalled pleasure car OF
today as an added luxury.
If 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-
butive branches to keep pace with
greatly augmented manufacturing
volume-the point Of saturation will
not be reached for five. six or seven
years. And some Of the leaders in the
industry predict that 1t will be a mat
ter of 10 or IL years.
All signs point to a continued devel-
opment for several years to come
for just how long it is difficult to
say but as in many other new fields,
arbitrarily predicted, are merely evil
dence of a shortened vision or I'M
familiarity with all of the facts.
1t is true that materials and labor
are more expensive and increasingly
hard to secure. This condition is not
serious, nor is it 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 quantities, are
protected by contracts until the end
of the automobile year, July, 1917,
and are able to absorb additional ex-
pense by spreading it out over a great
number of units and by increasing
their manufacturing efficiency.

associate professor of automobile engi-

After making exhaustive tests on the
efficiency Of the internal combustion
engine, he has come to the conclusion
that "the more we study the character
and the more we inquire into the rea-
son for its manufacturing status quo,
the more we are convinced that sweep

or the type be changed altogether.

five MILLIONS SPENT
ON WISCONSIN ROADS
Extensive Permanent improvements
Made in State During the
Year 1916.

About 100000 was expended on
permanent highway improvement work
in Wisconsin during 1915, accordine
to estimates prepared by A. r. Hirst,
chief engineer of the Wisconsin state
highway commission. The total mile
age constructed under the state aid
system is 1,15S, the cost of which was
1881 ,026. In addition, 352 bridges
were constructed, making a grand
aid. The mileage added gives the state
total OF 1850 miles built under the
state aid system in the five years
that It has been in effect. Next year
it Is expected that 1900 miles of road
and 433 bridges will be built, the ap-
preparation available for this. purpose
being $4,500,000.

which show that out of every dollar
worth of gasoline purchased by the
owner Of q modern automobile only 10
cents worth of power is developed at

of power is dissipated in the form of
heat losses to the exhaust, cooling
water, cooling air and friction.
