Price Trend Upward
Rather Than Down, i'm Ears

Last winter there was a feeling in
the automobile trade that by midsum-
mer there would be a general reduction
in the price of automobiles, says
James j. Hunt. general manager OF the
REQ Motor Car Company of New York,
Inc This feeling was based upon the
assumption that wartime prices of ma
tcrials and labor were abnormally high
and would come down shortly after the
signing of the armistice. However,
quite the contrary has been the case.
with few exceptions the materials
used in the manufacture of automobiles
have at least maintained their wartime
level of prices, and in a number Of
instances the prices have been greatly
increased. Likewise the cost of labor
is unusually high. The result is that
not only are no price reductions looked
for. brt there has come general re-
vision Of prices upward: 1t IS ex-
pected, however, that when the car
makers hit the stride Of production
and when present conditions are some
what altered there will be several i'm
portant announcements made and some
of these arc looked for At show time

Service Managers
Complete Organization
Get Together to Improve Con-
ditiOns for Owners of
Automobiles

After two months Of preparation the
Automotive Service Managers Associa-
tion of New York held its first formal
meeting last "Wednesday evening at the
National Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce. The organization meeting was
well atterded by representative BODY
of manufacturers and dealers service
managers and superintendent OF re-
pair stations of the metropolitan dis
trict.
Alfred Reeves. general manager OF
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce, pointed out in a message
of welcome and congratulation that all
other factors of the automotive indus
manufacturers statesmen and en-
cineers-have long enjoyed the bene-
fits OF co0peration and 1t IL high time
that the service branch appropriates TO
itself the came advantages. Tor upon II
so largely depends the pcrmanence OF
the business. "Wc can make and sell
automobiles" said he, but without
service we cannot continue TO sell
them" Approaching this, the manu-,
facturcrs viii heartily approve and
support any movement that VIII make
for better service. and admittedly SER
vice is still far from what II should De.
C.. VI. Brown. president of the Auto

A feet of twenty ive-ton tractors
and thirty seven six-ton semi-trailers

chain stores of the Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company throughout the State OF
New Jersey from the Jersey City ware
house. The tractors are of five tons
capacity and each trip averages about
forty miles. with stops at about forty
stores Two trips arc made day.
Standard motor trucks proved made
ouate in this service because OF the
time lost in loading. BY the use OF
semi-trailers the waiting time Of the
tractor and its driver has been reduced
from two hours to only eight minutes
The tractors start on their first trip
in the morning with loaded semi-trail-
ers. While they are on the road eight
or ten other trailors are being loaded
at the warehouse platform.
When the tractors return, an aver
age of only eight minutes is required
to attach the loaded trailers ready for
the afternoon trip. Jacks are used for
raising the front end of the trailers

and lower them on wooden horses
ready for loading. but the company is
planning to install an overhead lifting
system which will be an improvement
on this method.
For supplying its 5000 chain stores
throughout the country the company
operates l0S motor trucks and tractors
in ten different cities and delivers
nearly 100000 tons of groceries year
with them. The prompt. certain and
economical daily distribution of sup
plies TO the retail stores is assured by
means Of the tractors and trailers.

Heaters Make
Touring Cars
Useful in Winter
Well Fitting Curtains and
Good Heating Apparatus
May Combine to Offset
the Closed Car Shortage

Each fall and winter an invcstiga-
tion would show that practically all
the available storage space in every
city of more than $4,000 people is filed
with new motor cars, which dealers and
manufacturers are carrying over until
the spring selling season opens up.
The cost of storage averages between
s5 and $40 month a car, not counting
the interest on the enormous amount
Of money which is tied up for several
months.
Motor car manufacturers have always
been interested in anything which
would help to make the automobile
business p continuous twelve months
proposition. The electric starter has
,een one big factor toward this end
The widespread use Of satisfactory
heater equipment and better fitted cur
tains should permit them to realize
this ambition.
Many persons have the idea that
motor car heaters work only in closed
body cars. This, however. is not the
case. This year there will be Dig
shortage in closed car production, and
il is going to be serious matter for
dealers who have prospects for closed
cars and no closed cars TO sell. Tour
ing cars, we'll fitted curtains and a
satisfactory heater will give them a
very acceptable substitute to meet TINS
situation.
Furthermore. large percentage Of
motor car buyers cannot afford to pay
the additional price for closed body.
Nevertheless. they want as much all
year-around comfort as they can get
for the price they can afford TO pay.
Again, touring cars with well fitted
curtains and satisfactory heater equip
ment meet this situation.
Drivers of delivery cars and trucks
are obliged to be out in all kinds OF
weather, practically every day IN the
year. and their busiest season comes
in the cold weather months. II is only
reasonable to expect that such employees
would be better satisfied and give more
efficient service if some provision for
their comfort and convenience could be
made 10 meet this situation. One
large manufacturer of motor trucks
has provided all his cars with cab
bodies. that can be easily closed up,
and has installed as standard equip
ment a compact and efficient heater
usine the exhaust gas from the motor.
The trend of all motor car designing
is strongly toward comfort and con-
venicnce. that will make the motor
car a twelve -months-in- the year utility.
There are undoubtedly many angles TO
the above that are worthy of serious
consideration by manufacturers. deal
ers and car owners alike.
