yesterday that within the next twelve
months American hydroairplanes will

speaking of the automobile outlook Mr..
WHY'S said:
Automobile manufacturers have a
good year ahead OF them IN 1919. Nearly
all the automobile plants will be back to
full production by next summer and can
be manufacturing automobiles on = 100
per cent. basis by spring II materials
can be obtained.
I'VE expect the wiIlys-Overland fac
tories at Toledo. Elmira and Pontiac will
be back to 100 per cent. production by
early spring Our plants are to work
out of munition contracts as rapidly as
mobiles as fast as materials can be OBJ
tainad. Although a little time will be
necessary In making the transition from
war to n peace basis. less disruption
will be caused than when, the transition
was made from a peace TO a war basis.
by January we expect the Toledo
plant will be brought up TO rs per cent.
basis In automobile manufacturing. We
have arranged our plant to get the fac
tory running here during the transitional
period with no more let down than Is
necessary.
'tThe purchase by WHY'S Overland CT a
controlling interest IN the Moline Plow
Company was especially opportune.
There is a tremendous demand for farm
tractors. both In the United States and
in Europe, and the Moline plant Is al
ready 3 900 tractors behind orders The
equipment for making engines ia boing
installed in the Toledo plant as fast as
we can obtain It. We expect that the
