One Auto to Every
78People in u S.
While Europe Has but One
to Everu 353 Persons,

ITO get an inklinG OF the part the
automobile plays in the social and
business life of this country. It is
only necessary to compare the num-
her OF cars with the total population
says prominent automobile builder.
The United States has one auto
mobile to every eighteen persons:
Great Britain has one car to every
s25 persons: France. one car. TO every
400 people; and Italy and Belgium one
to every $40 people. Taking all the
cars in the four European countries
named, there was at the beginning
OF the war one motor vehicle 10 every
1858 persons
This is all the more remarkable
because the population OF the United
States at that time was 10000. 600. As
compared TO the total foreign popula-
ton OF l2T.o00.0oo people
"One reason why the automobile
has become more popular IN the United
states. is because the European manu-
facturerS before the war regarded the
mo;orcar as a luxury and designed
their models from that standpoint. On
the other hand, the American manu-
facturer has always designed his car
as utility
Having his fingers on the pulse OF
the nation. the American manufac-
turer knows what owners use their
cars for. This enables him to build
in those features that from a mccllani-
cal and body building standpoint, make
the American motor car 4 real and
vital transportation factor"
