LIBERTY CO. BREAKS
.PRODUCTIONRECORD

Perhaps the quickest return from a
wartime manufacturing basis to a
new record-breaking production, Is
announced by the Liberty Motor Car
Company, of Detroit.
Last November the Liberty factory
was on a practically 100 per cent war
footing. the building OF passenger
cars having been reduced to such an
extent that II required but a fraction
of the company's facilities. Practi-
Ically the whole works was occupied
with the making Of trailers for the
aircraft service and trucks for use
abroad A mammoth undertaking
which involved the machining Of gas
shells was under way. and this would
have completed employment of the
company's whole plant and produc-
tion force.
FOresaw Demand.
The resumption of passenger car
building was accompanied by the
same difficulties that faced all motor
car manufacturers. However, the
management had been far-sighted
enough to anticipate many Of the OBJ
stacles to quantity manufacturing,
and had also foreseen an unusual de-
mand at the wars close.
AS a result, during the month Of
March, more Liberty cars were built
and shipped from the factory than
during any previous month in the
history of the company. The busi-
ness done during that period amount
ed to more than a million dollars. And
April promises to exceed this figure
by a substantial margin.
Demand Growing.
The demand for Liberty cars is
tremendous, and Is growing with such
rapidity that, as one official put It,
ut seems that every Liberty sold is
responsible for two more immediate
orders" Naturally this appreciation
among buyers has induced a high in
terest among dealers who sense 4
valuable selling opportunity, and new
dealerships are being established as
rapidly as production permits. The
prominence OF many organizations
that have recently secured repre-
sentation for this car indicates that
it is developing a popularity among
car buyers that is attracting the at
'tention Of shrewd motor car mer-
chandisers everywhere. What the
buyer recognizes as good naturally
wins favor among those who do the
selling.
