ITS OUTPUT RECORD

BY Il. T. STRONG,

General sales Manager Buick Motor Co
In the fiscal year OF 1911 the Buick
Motor Company shipped between
ls,0OO and 1900 automobiles. This
was considered at that time a most
remarkable achievement.
Yet those production figures of an
entire year, Impressive as they were
at that time, were nearly equaled by
Buick In the single month OF Sep
tember. 1922. But in the very next
month of October. the September ac-
complishment was dwarfed. The
complete figures now available show
that in that month the Flint. Detroit
ana Canadian Buick plants produced
more than 10000 motor cars. of
which more than 1900 were from
the first two mentioned.
Nineteen thousand motor cars!

1918 or 1914, when the growth OF

these devices to be brought out,
where previously one make DOM

are lacking either in design or
materials, but some Of them are
quite worthy Of consideration.
The largest manufacturer OF
chains has recently improved
his well.known product 80 that

This chain is In unit form for

a buyer should consider. These
are: The material Of which Il
