EXPECTS HUGE
AUTO DEMAND
Distributor of Allen Looks
For Heaviest Spring
Sales on Record.

The largest demand for automo-
biles ever experienced in America
will be reached this spring is the
prediction of the management of
the Holbrook Auto Corporation, dis
tributers of the Allen car.
After a very exhaustive investi-
cation of both the facilities for
production and conditions through
out the country which they have
just made. they predict that the de-
mand will greatly exceed the sup
ply, and recommend that anyone
who expects to buy a car this
spring make their purchase early.
The war restrictions and the ne
cessity for economy which prevent
ed great many people from buy
Ing car during the war period
win not exist this summer. Busi-
ness conditions of the entire coun-
try in practically every trade and
every line of business has been
very prosperous. and not only the
merchant but the salaried man and
laborer as we'll have all shared
very largely in that prosperity.
This alone will cause a greater
demand for cars. while the reduc-
ton of hours in labor will give the
public more time to enjoy the few
hours of daylight which the sum-
mer months afford by the owning
and operating of their own cars
1t Is also pointed out that the liberal
plan under whicr cars are sold these
days gives manv. people an oppor-
tunity to buv cars that could not do
so where they formerly had to pay
cash at the time of delivery.
Another benefit nointed out to the
public is placing their orders and buy
ing their cars earlv. is the heavy ad-
vances which are bound to take place
in the prica of all machines. Steel
and, in fact. every article used in the
manufacture of cars has been ad-
vanced very heavily, and the opening
of the export trade on all materials
Of this kind is sure to cause further
heavy advances later in the spring.
and il is safe to predict that within
the next six or eight months all cars
will have, advanced from 20 per
cent to 25 per cent.
This will not onlv he brought about
by heavy advances in the material
used. but on account of the labor situ-
alton and the increase in price of
labor throughout the country. to-
gether with the reduced hours under
which an labor are now working,
compared with former seasons.
Statistics show that there will be
a shortage of 100000 cars when
the spring season opens. This past
years production was 100000
short. In 1920, a normal demand
of 100000 could be absorbed, uut
labor and material shortage will
prevent this production just as it
did in 1917, 1918 and 1919. We De-

PILED HIGH
IN DETROIT PLANTS

Detroit. Feb. 2S.-Because of a
lack of freight cars and space in
storage warehouses, hundreds of
new automobiles are being stacked
up in the yards of automobile manu-
facturers here.
Despite the fact that hundreds of
cars are being driven away from
the plants the accumulation is grow
ing. Manufacturers are covering
the cars with canvas and hoping
that an early spring will permit
them to be driven away soon.
Automobile manufacturers deny
the rumor that they will close down
their plants because of lack of ship
ping facilities. Thousands of un-
filled orders make closing unthinka-

> The cone clutch comprises simply
a large diameter cone as driven
member which is forced into con-
tact with the ibeveled face of the
fywheel by a spring of much the
same type as is used in the two
other kinds OF clutches considered.
One of the advantages of the cone
is that the contact surfaces are rela-
lively at considerable distance
from the center of the shaft, which
means that the pressure between
them need not be so great for the
same amount of power transmitted
as in a clutch in which the surfaces
are nearer the center. But this ad-
vantage is perhaps offset by the
fact that it is difficult to make q
clutch of this type OF large di-
ameter without getting so much
weight at the end of long Sadius
that spinning will result. By spin

and noisy.
The plate clutch has the advan-
tage of pressure applied at dis
tance from the center and at the
same time il is possible to make

are undoubtedly, two reasons for it's

men DRAWN TO
new COMPANY
Temporary Purchasing
Headquarters Of Handley-
Knight Co. Established.

Announcement has just been made
that the temporary engineering and
purchasing headquarters of the new
Handley-KnightC Company have been
established in Toledo. Ohio, at 1902
Madison avenue. The president, J.
I. Handley, decided 1t was more con-
venient to handle the preliminary
work in Toledo, where he lives,
while the new factory buildings are
under construction in Kalamazoo,
Mich.
Inquiries received from all parts
of the country indicate that the an
nouncement of this new company,
recently made. has created unusual
interest. Considerable Importance
is attached to the personnel of the
organization which Mr.. Handley is
gathering about him.
A. E. Schaaf will be closely asso-
ciated with Mr.. Handley, and will
devote his attention particularly to
the direction of engineering and
production. Mr.. Schaaf is one of the
recognized authorities the world
over on high-grade motor vehicles.
He brings to the Handley-Knight
Company a rare fund of experience
and knowledge of the better-grade
type of car. Until recently he was
operating head of the F. I. A. T.
Company at Poughkeepsie. n. Y,
and>was very active in assisting the
government in its work after the
plant was taken over during the
war.
Harry L. Dunn. well known in the
automotive industry, for many years
assistant purchasing agent of the
Willys-Overland Company, will be
associated with Mr.. Handley. with
the title of purchasing agent.

sion manager in charge of produc-
