WHY PRESENT SHORTAGE
OF AUTOMOBILES EXISTS

Some who are chafnE at the delay
in securing cars are at a loss to un-
l-derstand why the factories should be
so behind in their orders. The rea-
sons are several and good obes. To
begin with, the demand has greatly
increased, as many people fr6m pa
triotic and other motives withheld
their buying Of new cars while the
war was in progress. o..
The factories were down to very
lew rate Of production toward the end
OF 1918, and it took little time to
get back into the swing after the re-
strictfons on production were removed.
Even the plants that are back to a
peace basis find difficulty in securing
material and parts.
Not the least of the factors aggra-
waiting the present situation is the.
urgency for the makers to take ad-
vantage of the present psychological
moment to. extend foreign business
even at the risk of sacrificing. some
business in the home market. 49, q
