f. S. Jordan Predicts Greatest Year of Industry
for Dealers, Due TO Competition and Demand
Coupled Will, Lack of Needed Supply

The record of the New York automo-
bile show continues to read Success"
The crowds are coming in increasing
numbers day after day and yesterday
was the peak in attendance. Exhibit
ors, whether Of cars or accessories,
have reached thousands who bctray
the keenest interest in the displays.
Even though there are not actually
the novelties that have marked some
of the earlier automobile shows. the
specially painted and finished ''iobs'
get and hold the attention of visitors.
Then, toe, the cut-open chassis,
which are shown in many of the
booths, exert their never-failing at
traction for the motor car show goers.
There is something about machinery
that gets to almost every one, even to
those whose knowledge of mechanics
and mechanical details is limited.
Meetings fer dealers, as arranged
by the factory heads, have been going
on through the week. A particularly
enthusiastic meeting of yesterday
was that of the Jordan dealers, at the
Claridge Hotel The meeting was ad
dressed by Edward S. Jordan, presi-
dent of the company He congratu-
lated the show committee Of the New
York dealers for having arranged the
display and predicted that 1919 will
see the keenest competition for cars in
the history of the industry, what with
bigger demand and fewer cars in
proportion thereto than ever before.
~ am judging" Jordan told his or
ganization, mot alone by the pressure
that is already being put upon our pro-
duction department. but by the tre
mendous success the dealers them
selves have had in putting on the Chi
cago and New York automobile shows.
a great deal upon the dealers, but,
mark my words, if they keep up the
pace they have set at these automobile
shows there will not be enough cars in
the world to satisfy the demand after
the first warm day of spring. Remem

The composite car for 1919 would
be, Judging from the average specifi

factor in all spheres of life 1t is a
utlNty, vital one, and is so recognized
by those who have been introduced to
It's use and VINO appreciate to the fullest
extent It's manifold advantages and
how helpless they would be if it were
necessary to do without this modern
convenience.
To treat tho modern automobile
lightly, as plaything, is q mistake.
True, it is ready for rccreativc pur-
poses, but that is simply one method
for which it may be employed. Those
who know most about accomplishment
of the motor car and the great changes
the use OF the automobile has made in
this country hold it i'll deepest admira-
tion and respect.
We all seem to agree that transport
taton is close to civilization. To
achieve one you must have the other.
They go hand in hand And it is not
too much to say that the advent of the
motor car and its use during the last
twelve Years particularly has had q
marked influence on the people of this
country.
Take the matter of GOOD roads: What
single thing has been responsible for
our activity in this direction? The
automobile, of course. And we all
know it. The country was wofuily be-
hind in the matter The roads, gener-
ally, were a disgrace. But marvellous
achievements have taken place. Thou
sands of miles OF splendid, durable
highways have been built, more are un-
der construction, apd it is only cues
ton OF time before we shall have a
fine network OF roads throughout the
whole country.
Is the automobile a necessity? 1t is.
= Il Nv
those who appreciate the motor car as
such. 1t is estimated that more than
q third Of the automobiles in use in
this country arc owned by farmers, or
those who live in the country and who
find it necessary TO make freQeunt trips
to nearby communities to buy sup
plies or for other purposes. The auto
mobile is the connecting link between
town and country
An Economic Factor
Is the automobile an economic fac
tor? 1t is. It's use in the business
world has been recognized for some
time and is a recognized factor in
present day activity. To the salesman,
the business man, the merchant, the
real estate man. to those who must be
about. it has heightened days. They
are able to do more---to see more peo-
pie and to cover more territory. And
the man with a car does not get tired
as easily as he would otherwise. He
saves his energy for his work, rather
than using it in getting to his destina-
ion.
Does the automobile save life? 1t
does. The use of motor cars by nearly
100 per cent of the physicians in this
country is ample proof of the esteem
IN which it is held by this profession.
We are living in a remarkable age.
In an age when so much is taken for
granted. The marvellous seems to be
commonplace for us in the midst of
marveis. The automobile was intro
duced in such a period.
1t may be that VIC are too close to
It's newncss to appreciate its wonder.
For it is a wonder. A truly great one.
But, like many other things given to
US in the last twenty-five years. we
have accepted it without giving the
necessary credit to It's wonderful capa-
bilities. But it is s certainty that
future history will give to the auto
mobile its proper place.

FORECASTS BREAK
IN STEEL STRIKE
Decided Development Is Ex-
pected This Week by
the Iron Age"

New York, Sept. 29.-Many signs
of weakening mark the iron and
steel strike. and a decided break is
looked for early next week by the
Iron Age" A number of plants
have maintained full operation up
TO date. But conditions may tempo
rarily look worse before they are
better. The absence of any marked
rioting is an indication that there is
nothing yet approaching a collapse,
it further says.
The producers are firm in their
determination to shut down mills if
it is not safe to run them, and they
have the unqualified support of the
consumers.
Neither producers nor consumers
are making any real effort to do
business. Bookings have been
usually with the mills not seriously
or at all affected and active furnaces
have entered pig iron orders. Ma
turally the jobbing trade is the scene
of the greatest activity. While
stocks in distributors hands are of
fair size, the scale of single. sales is
occasionally limited. Few manu-

over the next few weeks.
1t follows that the business done
is largely in those lines in which
demand has for some time been
relatively light. Structural work is
being covered in good volume and
plate purchases can be made. Plate
mills have no difficulty in getting
