NOW 100000 BEHIND
Edward s. Jordan Explains
Shortage at Factories and
Gives Some Statistics.

One million people who would
gladly buy an automobile today will
have to wait sixty to ninety days be-
fore they can get one delivered. This
|is the estimate which Edward s.
Jordan. president OF the Jordan Mo
tor Car Company. makes in Q state
ment he is sending to Jordan dis
tributors.
In considering production and
sales possibilities for motor cars
Throughout America, Mr.. Jordan al
SO sees demand coming In the
spring OF 1920 that will eclipse any
yet known In the automobile indus
try. His conclusions are based on
figures Of significance to automobile
manufacturers and the motoring pub
lie.
"We estimate that the present
production is 100000 cars short Of
the public demand" says Mr.. Jor-
dan. In the first quarter of 1919
lis leading manufacturers produced
1870 cars, while in the last COM
plete production year, 1877, there
were built and sold 1,800,0 900 cars.
"Ther are 27,304,172 family
groups In America. Fifteen million
people have incomes enabling them
to purchase car selling from $500
to $500.
Three million people are in the
class between $1100 and $1400.
Five hundred thousand people
can buy between $500 and $4,000.
"One hundred thousand people can
buy anything they want"

Marketing Expert Is Of Opinion
That Pintos Have Great Fu-
ture and viii Soon SuppIant
the Navy Beans,

That the farmers of New Mexico
and Colorado should increase their
bean acreage from year to year until
the maximum production is reached,
is the opinion of CA. McNabb, fed
eral field agent in marketing, who was
in the city yesterday. Such a course,
if followed, would not glut the mar
ket here and cause prices to decline,
but would benefit the producers in
this country, according to his view
At present the United States is i'm
porting beans from Korea and Japan.
Statistics show that from 1000 to
1,500 tons reach Pacific ports every
day. These beans can be laid down
here for to 3 IL cents a pound.
Many of them after being received
here are exported to- Europe. This is
all due to the face that there are not
enough beans grown to supply the
demand. AS soon as the government
can be shown that beans are being
grown in the United States in suffi-
cient quantity to supply home con-
sumption and fill export orders, I'M
portations from China and Japan will
| be barred, according to Mr.. McNabb.
He is also of the opinion that the
| pinto bean is going to supplant the
| navy bean as an article of diet. CAN
! fornia, for instances raises pink anc
lima beans Michigan' heretofore the
| leading navy bean producing state, IL
| decreasing its acreage each year. The
same is true of Ohio and New York
once known as quite heavy producer!
of navy beans This will leave almos
| u clear field for the pintos, which car
be cultivated so successfully in New
Mexico and Colorado.
! The pinto beams fame is spreading
according to Mr. McNabb, For seVera
i years it has been popular In many o
the southern states, but is now rapil,
gaining favor in the north.
THE American people are pecul
lar" said Mr.. McNabb "They get il
the habit of eating things of certain
color. They were familiar with tn
white or navy bean and 1t was hare
to get them to use the pinto or spot
ted bean. But they are gradual
learning that the pinto bean is supe
rior in every way to the old navy bean
Therefore the farmers of the Yves
should continue to increase thei
acreage and create a demand for pin
: tos as in a few years they will be
popular article of diet-m greater de
mand than navy beans ever were
