20U manufacturers OF motor ears in the
United States for the year of 1917.

first time in it, history. aud never be-
fore had the total value OF the outputs
of the factories reached the billion
dollar point, but 1917 is going to sur
pass both these high water marks, and
further presents a paradox in that
prices of materials and cars generally
have advanced considerably yet the

scheduled to bc manufactured during
the calendar year will show r,o-

cess Of that mark, but careful pruning
Of estimates based ON years of ex.
pericnec has brought the years pro
duetion remarkably close to 100000
machines. This total includes all
makes and all types OF machines, but
commercial motor vehicles are ex-
cludcd; and while definite figures on
truck and delivery ear schedules are
not available at this time. the com
mereial division Of the industry is
going 10 show strides in keeping with
the ineteOric rise of the trade.
With the automobile manufacturers
it is not a question Of ability TO manu-
facturc and sell such tremendous
number of automobiles, but if there
is amy doubt il rests with the supply
Of raw materials and the available
railroad equipment in which to ship
the finished product to the various
points on the globe At present the
situation is somewhat acute, due to
the embargo on eastbound shipments
from Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit.
which not only has practically forbid
den all shipments Of automobiles to
the Atlantic coast. but has drawn into
the congestion of freight ears con-
siderable amount Of raw materials,
the release Of which seems hopeless at
times Then. too, the severe cold
weather that has held the east and
middle west in its grip for the last
two weeks, has put an abnormal drain

many Of the big plants are operating
under reduced schedules because OF
the scarcity Of coal. However. the
cold wave is beginning 10 break in the
middle west and this shoHld mate
rally relieve a situation that Is the
worst that the automobile industry
ever has faced.
Hindered by Car Shortage
Generally speaking. the factories
are amply supplied with materials, for
the manufacturers foresaw the over
whelming demand and IN most cases,
production schedules were compare
bic only 70 n'aximum spring programs
of years past. Many plants that
should be producing as high rs 500
automobiles - day are doing well 10
get out 200 and 800 because the freight
ear shortage is 50 acute.
With the wonderful systems Of eff
eient manufacture and assembling
now in force in the principal plants
and the advance plans for record
smashing year, the ting lost during
the present unfortunate situation will
doubtless be made up. Night forces
can be added and operations generally
accelerated.
Study of production schedules plan
ned for 1917 diseloses the four
cylinder ear monopolizing the lower
priced field and it is the preponder-
anee of machines under the 5000
mark that has resulted in the average
price of all automobiles to be made
this year is coming down so each.
This is explained by the fact that
while most makers have been forced
to raise their prices due to higher cost
of materials. several of the very large
quantity manufacturers have reduced
their prices, more than offsetting the
general advance. \ year ago the aver.
age cost Of American automobiles was
$7S9, while for 1917 it will be $40

tories turned out $4,000 ears worth
$720000,000 or an average of $13l0

one in that while 573,114 machines
were built, the average cost of $l047
