Realm.

The sutomotive industry will
learn with interest of the Contem-
plated worldwide tour to be made
by F. c. Allen of the export depart
ment of the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, as the trip has in
many respects an important bear
ing on Americas desire of trade
cooperation.
As concrete evidence that the
Firestone Company has faith in for
eign trade, and with the desire that
Fire5tone distributors NAV be
brought even closer to he Firestone
organization, the company has COM
missioned Mr.. Allen to make an ex-
tensive trip abroad. visiting the
principal markets outside Of Europe
and South America.
The planned tour. at the same
time. will give Mr.. Allen. who has
had more than twenty years cXpe-
lience in the tire and rubber export
trade. an opportunity TO study at
first hand the worlds commerce
conditions today.
Mr.. Aliens experience is unique
in that his "globc trotting' in the
interest of the automotive industry
has already taken him to eighty of
the worlds largest cities, Firestone
distributors being established in all
important ccnters of the globe.

In this same connection. says an

OF the remaining 1900, 900 more

In this way ii is evident that the

looked for in requirements. and in
asmuch as the life Of a car aver
ages about five seasons the actual
need is about 100000 cars a year
from this source alone.
The Firestone report also points
out that these figures serve to re-

innate of three new tires q car each

CAR MAKERS WILL
SHOW MOTORDOM
INTRINSIC VALUES
Twelve Different Types
To Make Debut at
Show.

1t will be the aim OF the automo-
bile manufacturers at this years
show to put the value of their
products squarely before the public
That the car builders realize that
the time is ripe for such a display
is evidenced by the fact that nine
ty-two manufacturers have secured
space at the New York show. ana
will be held two weeks later. The
figure at New York exceeds pre-
vious marks by four. while At the
same time the accessory displays
will total $50 The accessory ex-
hibits had to be limited to that
number because of lack of space.
As it is now there will be car ex-
hibits on the four floors. The first
and second floors will be devoted to
car displays exclusively. while the
biggest part of the third floor has
also been reserved for exhibits of
this character. On the fourth floor
there will be cars in twenty-five
house accessories. The highest
priced car in the New York show
will sell for $1,000, while the low
est priced is S525.
Great interest will undoubtedly
center in the debutante cars. There
are twelve OF these. ten being home
products and two made abroad. The
. new cars of domestic make include
the Ambassador. Bournonvllle. Du-
rant, Earl. Goodspeed. Handley-

on the horizon.
Reports from cities and towns
throughout the entire country
prove that 1922 should witness an
active year in the automobile in
dustry. Conditions have improved
in nearly all sections. The fact
that motor car buying had been at
a minimum during the past two
or three years makes it evident
that not only must requirements be
made. but that new purchasing is
bound to be felt.
More Value Now offered.
A point to consider in the situa-
ton is that never before have au-
tomobile manufacturers offered tho
car buyer so great a value for his
money. The car OF today is a ln-
ished product that is without a
doubt a necessity. No one ever
hears the motor car spoken of as
a luxury any more. The business
man, the professional man, the
woman shopper. the farmer. the
commuter. in fact. people in al
most every phase Of life now need
the autoWobile almost as much as
they need the telephone. Fewer
people arc making very long auto
mobile tours. perhaps, but many
thousands are making short trips.
Just how great factor the
motor car really is to this country
can be CLEANED from the recent re-
port OF the United States Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. This
showed that for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 last automotive manu-
facturers and accessory manufac-
'urers paid sl15,546.00O in sales
taxes to the government. indicat-
