Battery Company
Completes Large
Research Plant

Competition is forcing improve
ment in all lines of business. This Is
the opinion expressed by A. S. Earn
hart, manager of the Battery Service
company, who cites this as one of
many good features arising out of
the recent period of business de-
preston. To substantiate this argu-
ment, Earnhart gives as an example
the operations of the firm he repre-
sents here.
The Prest- O-Lite Battery company
he said, has just completed a large
plant at Long Island. n. Y, where
intensive research work will be car
ried on. The plant is considered to
be one of the finest of its kind in the
United States and is especially
adapted to the development and per-
fecting of battery plates.
Earnhart estimates that the busi-
ness in his line is showing 100 per
cent increase so far this month over
that of any other month since he
established quarters at the corner of
Van Buren street and Central ave-
nue.. He will leave today for a trip
into the southern part of the state,
where he expects to enliven things
for the firm he represents
In addition to manufacturing and
distributing the Prest- Lite auto
mobile battery, this firm is now mar
keting five special types of radio bat
teries and has just completed making
an entirely new type of farm lighting
battery.

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. June
24-In discussing the general situa-
ton for the week Roger w. Babson
the statistician today made the fol-
lowing analysis of the automobile in
dustry:
Many persons have been surprised
at the recent rebound in the auto
mobile industry and in the price of
automobile securities. Those, how
ever, who have been carefully watch
ing the situation are not surprised.
The price cut in automobiles de-
veloped new buying: the extension of
the good roads movement increased
the point of saturation: and the re-
duction in the cost of tires and gen
eral supplies encouraged more people
to use cars. The man who has never
had any car now drives one: and the
man who was content with one car
now has two or three. No, the sat-
uration point has not yet been
reached. Moreover, as our system of
good roads is extended. this satura-
ton point is pushed further and fur
ther away. The saturation point for
automobiles in this county will not
be reached until our system of high
ways has been completed and per-
fected.
The great factor, however. which
is today making business for the
automobile companies is the silent
and insistent purchasing of parts by
the present users of cars. People
have no idea of the tremendous busi-
ness existing today in automobile
parts. 1t is generally estimated that
about ten billion dollars is invested
in automobiles and their accessories,
1t is further estimated that a man
spends about per cent year on
repairs and that large proportion
of this for new parts. This means
that from three hundred to four hum
dred million dollars of automobile
business per year exists in the man
ufacture and sale of new parts for
cars already sold. Not only is this a
large amount of money, but there is
as much net profit in this business
as in double or trebble the same
amount of automobile business. 1T
you have any doubt of this take the
parts catalog for any car and add
up what it would cost to buy all OF
the parts of the car separately. Not
only are the companies getting high
prices for these parts, but there is
practically no expense connected with
the selling of these parts. When buy
ing a complete car / may buy from
any one of hundred companies, but

ARIZONA IS IN
ITS THIRD YEAR
DEVELOP NJ.
M. R. Kays Asserts That
Smaller Irrigation Prof.
ects Need to Be Devel-
oped Now.

| Arizona is just getting into its
! third era of development In the opln-
| ion of M R. Hays, manager of the
Beckman and Linden Engineering
corporation with offices in the Heard
| building. The first era included that
| long period when every rancher dug
his own ditch and water was OBJ
| tanned TO rcultivation without re-
gard tc regulation of supply as FAR
as neighboring lands were concerned.
Then came Roosevelt dam bringing
with it systematized irrigation and
opening up thousands OF acres OF
land TO cultivation.
At the time of the completion or
Roosevelt dam there were many who
believed the acme of development
had been reached; that no other re-
sources were available for greater
irrigation. But engineers continued
to work upon the problem. They re-
allied that for Arizona to advance
more desert lands would need to be
reclaimed, giving room for greater
population and increased production.
So Arizona is now in the era OF
comparati ly small but vitally i'm
portant ir. cation projects. Prepara'
tions are under way to divert waters
from the many small streams of the
state to store flood waters into
large reservoirs and to build small
dams at suitable locations. In the
future, perhaps 20 years or more
away, Mr.. Kays forecasts the entry
of this state into its fourth era OF
irrigation development when the
mighty Colorado river will be har-
messed 10 deliver immense quantities
of power which will permit the econ
omical and practical use of electric
ally driven pumps TO bring sufficient
water to the surface to redeem great
expanses of arid land which will con-
tinue to remain untouched by any
irrigation projects.
But the problem of the moment,
Mr.. kays contends, is the utilization
of water from the smaller streams.
Coupled with this is the necessity for
more intensive development of the
lands already under cultivation.
Instead of great ranches being
operated at an expense out of pro-
portion to the income every 20 or 40
acres in the valley should have a
family on it," he says. Under the
proper direction small ranches can
be made to yield larger net returns
than great tracts of land which re-
outlay for the purchase and main
tainance OF equipment"
Along this same line of thought
Mr.. Kays declared that population is
one of the big determining factors
in building up the business of the
state.
Factors which are contributing to-
ward giving California a constantly
increa sing population are also aiding
in giving Arizona a better outlet for
its agricultural products" he ex-
planned. "The productive possibilities
of California are comparatively small
for large marlzets-the Pacific and
sthe Atlantic seaports. Arizona is
logically next in line to provide agri- :
cultural products to the ever-increas-
ing population of California This
phase alone will mean that Arizona
is destined to attract more and more
farmers and consequently greatly in
| crease its own population and stimu-
late its business"

IA REPUBLICANS WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW
Roger ". BnbSOn Says
Automobile Stock Is
Stable Security NOW

present cars ! must buy of the com
pany which manufactures the car.
Sale OF these parts is bringing into
the older companies a tremendous
income.
Investors will therefore see that
the automobile business has grad
uated from the experimental stage
and has become a great settled indus
try, at least so far as the older COM
pany is concerned. The good will
asset of every business should in
crease as years go on, provided it
manufactures honestly useful prod
uct. The older automobile companies,
however, possess the additional as
set of being able to sell parts for ex-
listing cars. Many of these compan-
les could pay their dividends, cer-
tainly their preferred dividends. from
the profits from sale of parts. If
Ford did not manufacture another
car, he could do tremendous busi-
ness for years to come in manufac-
turing parts for the cars already sold.
If the saturation point is ever reached
in the automobile business, the prof
its from the replacement of ma
chimes and the sale of parts will still
be tremendous.
panies do not possess this asset.
Hence, conservative men purchase
only the stocks of the older and more
stable concerns. Wise investors also
look carefully to the capitalization.
Before buying automobile stock. di-
vide the capitalization by the annual
output both in cars and in dollars.
Certain popular makes of cars are
over capitalized. and certain COM
panies with small outputs have very
conservative capitalization. There
fore, one should consider both the
output and the capitalization. Neither
factor by itself is sufficient in judg-
ing an automobile stock.
Il want to emphasize particularly.
concluded Mr.. Babson. "the fact that
the automobile industry is today
permanent industry and that the Sc
curities of the standard automobile
companies should rank with those OF
the steel companies Moreover, in
view of the foreign competition which
the steel companies will soon have.
I should even be inclined to sell GER
tain steel securities and invest the
proceeds in seasoned automobile
stocks.
