A MOTOR CAR FOR EVERY HOME

Every business knows it. But there one place where

the motor to their keeping equipment and they

The motor car as a part of the home equipment is
just as essential the telephone the electric light or the

TO SPEND MILLIONS
FOR BETTER ROADS

Hundreds OF millions OF dollars will
be made available for road expendI-
tures In the United States within
the next few months, II legislation
now awaiting consideration Is fav-
orably acted upon by the assemblies
OF the various States. At no past
time in the history OF the nation has
there been such a trend toward high
way development as Is evidenced by
these measures, and road builders
everywhere are confronted with the
necessity OF formulating broad poll
cies to govern the expenditures.
Early estimates placed the total
amount which would be expended by
States and nation in 1919 at $500, ,OOO,-
600. Since that time the national SEN
ate has acted favorably upon a bill
providing for an increase Of $780,
100000 in the Federal aid act, OF
which $4,000, 600 is made immediate
ly available and another $75, 900. 900
added in the fiscal year beginning
July OF the present year. The re-
mainder Of il is set aside for 1920

final action in the House.

Continuing. Mr.. Reeves remarks
that while chronological data IS gen

4OOAUTOSA DAYBY
WILLYS-OVERLAND

My March 1 Willys-Overland. Inc,
will have attained a production of 400
cars per day. This number will be N
creased as rapidly as conditions will
permit. -
This announcement was made .eS-
terday by Overland officials.
Anticipating an unprecedented de-
mand for cars the Overland. since the
signing of the armistice and the can
collation. OF its enormous GaveTnm ent
contracts. has bent every ofiDrt t.
ward the conversion of its energies 10
the production Of automobiles. While
the work Of transformation is not Se.
complete. remarkable strides shave
been made in the last two months To-
ward this end.
The Willys-Overland halted itsSprO-
duction of motor cars on November 1
and concentrated entirely upon, the
manufacture OF war materials. IHme-
diately after the cessation Of hoslil-
ities plans formulated in advance for
converting the various plants back TO
peace-time activities, were put into
effect. The rapid, approach TO ga
pacity production is the result.
Dealers everywhere report uhpre-
cedented business for January. ;.ud
February, and, spuTred on by future
prospects, are clamorinS for cars in
quantities which at the present are
not to be had. One Overland dealer
writes that his business for the first
month of the year was 500 per cent
greater than for any previous jan
nary. Reports OF WHY'S Overland,
Inc, show that retail sales this year
10 date very largely surpass those Of
the same Period, last year, and equal
TO those Of the same months in ,19lE.
the pest year the automobile industry
ever had. In proportion TO supply, !
the demand for cars so far this year |
is far ahead of that Of any preceding !
year
In view of this and the fact that an |
estimated shortage of 1,0Oo,O 900 cars /
existed on December I, leading manu- /
facturers are becoming more con- |
vinced each day that it will be i'm
possible during 1919 to produce SUI
ficient cars to meet demands, no mai
ter what efforts may be put forth.
