s,274,92o CARS IN
USE IN THE U. S.
Number Of Automobiles in Use The
Past Year Showed Increase of
.22 Per Cent Over Previous Year

Akron, Ohio, Jan. 2O.-Motor We
hicles registrations for the past year
obtained from the various states
shows there are now 9,274,920 pas
senger cars and trucks in use through
out the United States-one for every
11.8 person. This is an increase of
1,67O,904, or 21.9 per cent. over
Dec. 81, 1919, when there were T.
6O4,O16 motor vehicles registered.
The gain during the past year was
greater than that Of any previous
year and is considered exceptionally
remarkable by officials of the auto
motive industry in view of the ad-
verse business conditions throughout
the country during the last part of
1920. The largest previous gain was
1,457,399 in 1919.
Every state in the Union showed a
gain during the year, Virginia lead
ing with 51.1 per cent. and Tennes-
see last with IA per cent. The ma
jority of states showed increases
ranging from 18 to "a per cent. In
a general way, the figures show agri-
cultural states made better gains
than industrial states.
The race between New York and
Ohio for supremacy in the number
of motor vehicles has again turned
in New York's favor. The rnid-year
registrations last summer showed
Ohio leading by $1,000 cars and it
was thought it would maintain its
lead for the entire yiear. Thousands
of New York owners registered later,
however, and the final figures show
ed New York with 692,174 and Ohio
with 61S,OOO.
Pennsylvania strengthened it's hold
on third place, advancing from 482,-
III to 584,1S4 while Illinois, its
closest rival, increased from 49,
438 to 568,745. Although Californ-
ia did not show as great a numerical
gain this year IS the other leaders,
it. still has fifth place fi1g1ly scored
with 550,69O.
Iowa again r.ahage1 t. Ti,. ont in
its tri-cornered race for sixth place
with Texas and Michigan. Last year,
Iowa had 363,079, Texas 331,310
and Michigan 325,813. This year.
both Michigan and Texas crept up 4
little, the final figures giving Iowa
1926, Texas 431,938, and Michi-
gan 412,69O. Which states will be
ahead next year is question.
Nevada is still badly mired n the
cellar" position, having only 1O,-
AGA, as compared with 9,305 a year
ago. Deleware is but one stride
ahead, however, with 1880. New
Mexico and Wyoming are the only
other states with less than 10000,
New Mexico having 22,040 and Wy
oming 1924.
An analysis of the registrations
by states show that eight have more
automobiles within thei~ individual
confines than the entire continent of
Europe. These states-New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Califcrn-
ia, Iowa, Texas, and Michigan-have
a combined registration Of 1925, ,686,
more than 45 per cent Of all the cars
registered in the country.
Four new states entered the list
Of those having 100000 or more cars.
They were Virginia, Kentucky, Mary
land, and Oregon. o. these, Virgin
in showed the greatest increase, hav-
ing advanced from 94, 100 to 1872, 154,
a gain of 51.1 per cent.
