Bright P Prospects for Motor Industry

The motorcar industry is facing pros porous season is the opinion voiced by Bridgeport auto dealers.
 Optimisnfi is the keynote. The bright auto outlook is also taken as a criterion that on the way Auto dealers realize there must be prosperity in other channels to bring an assurance of a banner business for 1921.
 Bridgeport dealers are buoyed by the optimistic expression of men prominent in watched the business grow to its present large proportions.
 So it is with high hopes for the ap- preaching seaeson that the Bridgeport Auto mobile Show management extends a cordial welcome to all Connecticut folk, whether or not car owners or prospective buyers. to attend the exhibition. and see at least the giant. strides made by the industry in the past few years.
 Vast road improvements that are plan i ned throughout New England and neighbor- ing states will prove a boon to the trade This with the conditions which have existed for the past several months are rapidly dis appearing, and recent surveys of the situ- ation indicates aefirst-class automobile mar ket in the spring.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-02-08

This opinion has been recently express ed by one of the best informed men in the automobile business. And the same views are entertained by most of the men in the trade in Bridgeport. The same authority further says:
 Although December has always been a month of restricted motorcar sales, the December just past has shown an increas- ing demand for cars; and it is very ap- parent that this demand will show a more rapid increase from now on.
 "The automobile shows focus public at tention our industry and this interest will be sustained and evidence itself in buy ing both at the shows and in the spring.
 This newly stimulated demand for motorcars doesn't mean return to the ab-- normal buying conditions of some months ago. But it does mean that good. reputable cars. with strong manufacturing organiza- lions behind them. will be readily absorbed
 The replacement market alone de- mands more than i 100000 cars this year. But there will also be plenty of new buy CTS. In only one class of new buyers there are the thousands of office workers who have not been able to afford car during the period of exceedingly nigh prices for the necessities of life, who will f1nd with lower commodity prices. that their incomes are sufficient for them to own and maintain a car.
 Il look forward to a busy time in the motor industry for years to come"
