BUILDERS TO MAKE
1919 BANNER YEAR

DETROIT, Dec. 21.-Automobile
manufacturers have completed plans
to make 1919 the biggest year in the
history of the business.
On January /, automobile plants
will be permitted to resume 100 per
cent production.
Success of the next building pro-
gram hinges on the supply of steel
which at present is not coming in as
plentifully as hoped for, according 10
executives Of the larger plants. They
expect, however. to have ever in
creasing steel shipments as the bur-
den on the railroads become lighter.
Fewer new models will be exhibit
ed at the March automobile show.
New models will probably not be on
the market in volume until next Sep
tember. 1t requires about six months
to get out a new line OF cars after
the designs are made, said the manu-
facturers.
The principal changes contemplated
in higher priced cars will be in the
motors. The airplane design is be-
coming more and more popular.
No appreciable drop in prices is ex-
pected for perhaps. one or two years.
High wages and approximately the
present price schedule OF steel prom
ise to hold good for some time, the
manufacturers said. Prices Of cars
will range from about $500 to $500
for Detroit products.

AUTO MEN RUSHED
TO SUPPLY DEMAND

The motor car OF today Is no longer
classed as a mere luxury. or as a toy,
being enjoyed by the wellto-do, but
it has become an integral economic
factor in the progress OF the modern
day.
No longer can the terms pleasure
car" or touring car" be applied lit
orally to the passenger-carTying auto
mobile which today serves an essen
tial purpose in conveying persons from
one place to another doctor to his
patients. n travelling salesman to his
customers. a child to school. business
men TO their offices. members to their
churches. and city and country folk
into closer communication. In fact.
the automobile is serving most efficient
ly in the transaction of life's ordinary
affairs.
A business man in a town Of any
size must have a vehicle OF some kind,
not only for conveyance to and from
his Office. but properly to care for the
hurried needs of his business. 1t Is
equally as necessary as his delivery
wagon, or truck, and oftentimes can
be utilized for minor errands where
the delivery car would be more expen-
sive and less convenient
Problem Is Production.
It Is not at all surprising to learn
through a report from the Labor Bu-
reau that automobiles and civilian
clothing are commodities, now in great
est demand throughout the country.
The problem which now confronts the
manufacturer Is in being able to pro-
duce quickly and in sufficient quantity
to supply the increasing demand. Or
ders for all makes OF cars are multi
plying. and II may require several
months for some companies to make
deliveries so the buyer with foresight
Is placing his order far in advance.
How many motorists have begun to
plan for those happy vacation trips
over the ribbon like roads through the
rolling farm lands and on to those
mountain resorts, or to the seashore
where the sports OF life and beauties of
nature await the pleasure of the auto
mobile tourist? Do you recall what dis
comfort and inconvenience you expert
enced in making your vacation trip by
rail? Do you recall those dusty, smoky
trains. the swelterfng heat in crowded
coaches when your train was drawn
up on a siding waiting for a signal to
proceed? It's up to the car-owner to
foster the idea that wherever the posi-
bility exists. the automobile should be
substituted for the railroad. not only
because it is more pleasureable for
travel, but its convenience and efflcien-
cy have already proved its value in
cross-country touring as well as In
reaching nearby points.
