was considerably greater, and for 1922
1T is estimated that more than quar-
ter OF the cars produced will be close d
jobs.
AS for the automobile enthusiast who
seeks out new features of mechs1jc- |
design, he will sec any number of new
applications and improvements, both on
the complete chassis shown and in the
accessory display. improvements in
lubrlcatlon systems are many.
Accessibility on the 1922 models is
feature. To get at one part of the
motor without tearing down half a
dozen other parts has always been
more or less of vcxatious problem
for the average automobile operator
More optimism than has been evil
denced in the last few years was shown
at the opening. The automobile world
in general feels that the turning point
has been reached and that 1922 will
witness real revival in the motor car
industry, Many, dealers have prospects
on their books that nave been awaiting
readjustment in conditions before
buying. This readjustment has been
made, in SO far as possible, during the
last year, and as a result a concerted
buying movement is expected for this
year. Reports from all parts of the
country indicate improved conditions
1t is evident that not only new buying,
but buying for replacements, must be
factor in the motor car industry dur
ing the next twelve months.
Production Is Remarkable
The industry which .the exposition
represents has produced millions of
cars more than the average person i'm
agines. OF the enormous number pro-
duced approximately 100000 900 arc
registered in the United States alone.
Of these 100000 are passenger cars
and 100000 arc motor trucks. No less
than 100000 or more cars and trucks
are owned by farmers that class
which SO bitterly fought the automo
bile in the early days. Farmers brought
all sorts of pressure to bear on state
legislatures and other bodies to have
automobiles, barred from public high
ways. Their chief cause for complaint
was that motor cars frightened horses,
which was true for few brief sea-
sons. Then the rising generation Of
horses became accustomed to automo
biles and were. unafraid
1t is hard to collapse the brain into
conceiving what 134,000,40O tons of
farm products would look like, yet that
is the tonnage of farm products hauled
annually by motor transport. For those
who can think in billions it might be
mentioned ..LLas eil billion passengers
arc carried annually by motor cars and
that the total amount of freight hauled
annually by motor truck is 1,0O0,2 100000
stons.
With more than $4,000 dealers in
passenger cars and $4,000 dealers in
motor trucks neattcred throughout the
country and $4,000 garages and almost
as many repair shops to take care of
cars in use, the growth Of the industry
is apparent from merely this one phase
New-York tribune., 1922-01-08

dealers inventories will be better bal
anced, so that there seldom will be de-
lay and expense due to telegraphing
the factory for parts. The owner will
have a better idea of what his repairs
are going to cost him. There will be
increased emphasis on cleanliness and
courtesy. Owners can protect them
selves by patronizng authorized serv-
ice stations and then if they do not
get the treatment to which they feel
they are entitled they will confer
great favor on the factories by enter
ing vigorous protest to the home
Office.
Frightening Export Trade
Improvement in export trade be-
came noticeable in October In the
months preceding there had been a
halting or demand in foreign markets
as a direct result of the disturbed
economic conditions throughout the
world. The lowest level for automotive
exports in 1921 was reached in July, as
far as commercial trucks we're con-
cerned, and in September for passenger
cars. Compared with July. the truck
shipments were higher by 76 per cent
in case Of passenger cars was 6 per cent
over the September exports. still
greater Improvement was noticed by
the trade during November. Thus it
is becoming evident that the curve of
export trade has turned the corner
and is now gradually directed upward.
In Iceland there are no railways.
Formerly the only means of communi-
cation was on Iceland ponies. Realiz-
ing the need of improved transporta-
ton facilities, the local government
proceeded to improve roads, and to-
day the motor vehicle is offering to
the inhabitants Of this northern isle an
invaluable means for the conveyance
of passengers and goods.
The real cause for optimism in for
eign trade may be seen in the tendency
to restore world wide confidence. With
it will be restored the exchanges to
such levels that the deprecated cur
rencies will buy, if changed into dol
lars, practically the same quantity Of
