THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY


companies will build over 275,OOO
alone. The names of these twelve
most every one interested in this in
dustry are familiar with. The ex-
penditure of road building, which
was brought about chiefly by the auto
is enormous. The Lincoln Highway
expenditures for 1919 total over
twelve million dollars. New York
state spends annually fifteen million
on her roads and other states expen-
ditures are correspondingly the same.
During the decade ending 1909 sta
tistics show an increase in the auto
mobile industry of fifty fold while
only thirteen other industries in the
same period show an increase of over
hundred per cent. Cars valued at
336 million dollars were in operation
in the year 1909 in the United States.
We must give the early engineers
and designers credit for excessive in
genuity and unusual ability in their
time, but we are forced to smile when
we compare the crude car of 1909 to
our present day auto, with the one and
two cylinder engines of the heavy
cast iron type, to our improved six,
eig hit and twelve cylinder motors,
mostly of aluminium with the modern
electrical equipment; the crude infer,
ior bodies mostly of wood to our
classic designs of pressed steel, better
balanced to hold the road and more
economical to operate. Often we
meet owners of the old fours and skies
built almost a decade ago who drive
them today finding it hard to believe
that the present eight and twelve can
be an improvement. But when car
is called on for heavy duty, or hard
pull, for quick start, or a stiff burst
of speed, the eight or twelve unfail-
ingly meets the situation, and meets
it in way that proves it contains
smooth and better engine efficiency
then the old model under all condi-
tions.
1t will be interesting to note that
up to date there are 81 automobile
shows listed in various cities through
out the United States, and no doubt
half as many more will be listed be-
fore the summer is over.
Some idea of the vastness of the
plans outlined for 1920 production is
furnished in report issued by leaders
in the industry in the Detroit terri
tory. The Ford Motor company esti-
mates their output at 100000 cars in
Detroit, and the Canadian plant just
across the river an addition of 200,-
900, this sets their grand total at
100000 for the fiscal year 1920.
But we find Ford like most all COM
panies in this business overunning his
estimates. The first six months of
the fiscal year ending July 81, 1920,
the company had manufactured $751;
372 cars. If this average is main
tained until July 31st their total will
exceed the million mark by more than
one hundred thousand.
The Buick Motor Company during
its fiscal year ending July 31st, 1919
produced 100000 automobiles, but
plans for the next fiscal year, 1920,
calls for exactly double that amount,

terday to explain a charge of Frank
G. Stoddard of CRANKY and Louis E.
Barnes of Simsbury, to the effect that
Herman, as their attorney in a suit
brought against them. Mrs. Antoinette
Emo Wood of Simsbury. had advised
them to write on a check for 81 900,
after it had been through the bank
the words Payment in Full and to
testify that the writing was on the
check when they sent it to Mrs. Wood.
The check was alleged by Mrs. Wood
to be only part payment for some
standing timber which she sold to the
two men.
Barnes confessed that they had per-
jured themselves in the testimony in
court and both We're arraigned on this
charge. In court yesterday they re-
peated their charge against Attorney
Herman.
Mr.. Herman took the witness stand
and completely denied the charge
against him, saying that the check
was inscribed with the words 'tPay-

not be as large crop as last season..
Mr.. Simpson expects the Canadian
branch of his plant to be running in a
6 matter of two weeks. The looms are
ready to run now. The treateng room
and the boiler room will be ready to
run the first of the month and the
packing room in 45 days. This plant
has been built to take care of the Ca
madam business of the RaybestoS
Company. Already 1T has 100000

go from Bridgeport all the help for
the new plant will be supplied in

I Toronto, in the province of Ontario.
In speaking of the automobile in
dustry which he says is 1.-THE greatest
industry in the world" Mr.. Simpson
gave The Times man some interest
ing figures and comparisons.
In all Canada there are only 400
900 motor vehicles while according
ITO the Farm Journal just the far
mers of the United States own g.
a66,475.
There were in the United States on
Jan. LIST, 100000 passenger autos
and 100000 commercial machines
making a grand total of over seven
million and a half, or one to every
fourteen persons.
There are in the United States a.
245 dealers in passenger autos and
= 1896 dealers in trucks There are
268 factories manufacturing trucks
and 131 making passenger cars.
In the manufacture of passenger
cars s784,660,761 is invested and
$3.50, 1851 in truck manufacture.
Altogether there are 100000 en-
pboyees engaged in the manufacture
of motor vehicles with an annual pay
roll of $685. 100000.
There are 32,245 dealers in pas
senger cars and 1896 dealing in
trucks.
Some idea. Of the rapid growth of
the automobile industry can be
gained from the following fao.s. In
1913 the country produced 4s1,50O
passenger cars valued at 100000.
In 1919 it produced 1.657,652 passen-
ger cars valued at s1,461, 1925. In
1913 there were built 23,500 trucks
with a value of S44, 100000; in 1919
the production had grown to 316,364
valued at $423, 326,621.
In 1914 Connecticut registered 27,7S6
motor vehicles with revenue to the
State of S406,662. In 1919 there were
registered 102,410 vehicles and the
State received in revenue $1,516,-

years it was introduced into America.
At present capons are most univer-
sally known and appreciated in France
although the business of producing
them has advanced gradually in Am
erica. This industry is most impor-
tant in that portion of the United
States east of Philadelphia, though in
creasing numbers of capons are be-
ing raised in the Middle Western
States on general farms.
In selecting the breed best suited for
acponizing several factors must be
taken into consideration. Large cap
ons bring the best prices. Consequent
ly, the breed should be large. 1t does
not pay to caponize small fowls, poul

poultry, are most popular. The Ply
