taken together?
The motor trucks and lighter
business cars in the United States
are almost exactly equal to the
total of all kinds Of motor vehicles
for pleasure and business in the
British Isles and Canada combined.
The motor trucks In Ohio alone out
number the automobiles Of every
kind in Argentina. Brazil and Chile
together, and they are the three
countries which lead all others in
South America, in power, wealth
and international prestige.
This impressive development of
the motor truck industry has been
very swift. In 1909, when the pro-
duction of passenger automobiles
had already reached $4,000 in one
year, in the United States, the num-
Der of motor trucks and light busi-
ness cars made in the same time
was only 3.255. In 1914 the coun-
try's output of passenger automo-
bfies had risen to. 543.e7s. in one
year, but only 25,375 business We
hicles, operated without horses,
were produced. Yet in 1919. only
five years later. the number of mo-
tor trucks manufactured was 3l6,-
3S4. and in 1921 it was 322.O3s.
The blindest and dullcst can
hardly fail to perceive in such
facts the absolute assurance of
enormous growth in the next few
years There is no doubt about the
future of an industy which is cap
able of such wonderful expansion.
