CARS FOR EVERYBODY


 Millions have become common term in stating money values. but to- day it is billions. The, wholesale value of motor vehicles produced in this country in 1920 was $2.136,1S3,676 If this amount was represented in silver dollars it would require 13,200 five-ton trucks to transport it. There are s. 500.000 vehicles--one for every 12 people in the country. This means that every one in the United States could ride at one time, with only a little crowding.
 To produce the 1920 schedule of cars s00.000 people were employed in 160 factories. One million five hundred thousand persons are supported by the manufacture of motor vehicles alone, to say nothing of the number who are dependent upon workers in the 141,900 agencies, repair shops and garages.
 To keep these cars and their fore runners supplied with tires total of 32,400,000 of the rubber doughnuts were produced last year. If these tires averaged 32x3h inches in size and were placed side by side they would make a hollow tube 1,750 miles in length.
 The railroads realized an income of $1000 100000 from the transportation of motor vehicles, enough to help shoul- der the reconstruction. It would take 50c.000 freight cars to move at one time all the motor vehicles delivered in 1920 or train long enough to cir cle the globe almost two times. If there is any doubt as to the part the motor car plays in war work. look at the total of 257.000,000 paid into the national treasury as special taxes to say nothing of millions or more in the form of profit and income taxes derived from the manufacture, sale and operation of motor cars and trucks.
 owned by Farmers.s
 There are 2.500,000 motor cars and trucks owned by farmers today. These mean saving of $390 year each to the farmers. or a total of about s1.00o,- 000. .000.
 The different states own 30.125 cars, while there are 10.s14 vehicles owned by municipalities. An estimate of the mileage used mostly for business is 90 per cent. The motor car is so closely woven into our commercial life that we scarcely realize its individual im- portance. In only 10 per cent of the mileage represents exclusively pleas this country has expanded to such marked degree since the advent of motorized transportation.
 The S.500,000 cars in the country travelled l.600. .000 miles during 1920. three times the passenger mile- age of all railroads. If each car av- eraged 10 miles ona gallon of gaso- line. the mammoth total of 42.00o. .00o,- 900 gallons of gasoline would have been required to keep them rolling. At an average cost of 2S cents gallon the value of fuel would have been about sl2.00o.O00, 900. a sum that Is staggering.
