MOTOR INDUSTRY
SHOWS PROSPERITY
Estimates Point to Increase of
Is Per Cent in Output
/ for 1923.
ROY c. HAYES.
Universal Service.

DETROIT, Jan. evidence OF
unexampied prosperity for the
automotive industry during the cur
rent year is felt in the advanced
production schedules, which are
being announced daily.
Conservative estimates of the out
put for the present year point to
an increase of more than 10 per
cent over 1922. More than 2,5O0,r
600 cars were made last year, &C.
cording to Alfred r Seves, general
manager of the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce.
With the inventory period over,
Detroit motor plants are working
at capacity on increased production
schedules.
Ford production for 1922 broke
all records. Total output for the
year amounted to 1852 ,479. These
figures include a domestic produc-
ton of 1885,, PIP, foreign produc-
ton Of 10000 and 50,267 cars made
in the Canadian factory at Walker
vile, Ont.
Ford last year, made nore cars
than all other manufacturers COM
bined, in the greatest automotive
year in the history of the in
dustry Ford output will be con-
stantly increased until production
reaches 5000 day, which probably
will be attained by April 1.
Lincoln figures for the year
are 5.37S, the best in the history
of that company to date. Daily
output now ranges between % and
80 cars. which win be stepped up
to IS cars a day in February, ac-
cording to present plans.
working on a capacity schedule, the
daily output having been increased
from 625 to approximately 700 in
the last week.
Hupmobile sales for 1922 totalled
Is. 900 cars. Production for the
current year viii be measurably
greater If business continues to
improve, according to o. G. Hut
crimson, General Sales Manager.
Reductions in the price ranging
from $35 to $40 and the announce
ment Of a new two passenger
coupe were disclosed this week.
Studebaker with a 110, 1000 pro-
duction record for 1922 has set its
1928 mark at 10000. Five new
units In South Bend and two in
Detroit to be erected soon will
make It possible to boost the out
put.
The Gray Motor corporation, of
which Frank L. Klingensmith is
president, is looking forward to
It's first big sales year. The Gray
car, which was developed in 1922
from a blue print to a reality in
nine months is making a strong
bid for favor in the small car
class. Production averages about
IS cars a day. The addition of
two closed models last week rounds
out the line. which is on display
