ed that could not be used, on the whole
the reports received were distinctly su-
perior in quality TO those of prior years
and indicated that slow but constant
Improvement is being made in the ac-
counting methods of the retail Jewelry
trade"
These three reports show that all or
ganized business is trying to learn as
much as possible about accounting and
cost keeping. The n. A. ID A. has
recently brought out sinfplified ac-
counting system for use in the auto
mobile business. Details of the system
will be given to the convention ms a
part of the Monday morning study Of
costs of Doing Business. The figures
from the first survey by the N. A. ID.
A. indicate that there is not in the ati-
tomobile business any widely harmon.
ious policy of cost accounting and cost
charging. 1t is these differences which
cause much of the confusion in the au-
tomobile business and probably has been
some reason for the public's failure to
reconcile different retail prices in diff
ferent parts of the country. Officials
of the n. A. d. A. hope that this
study of costs will pave the way for n
thorough study of this subject through
out the automobile industry in 1923.

DEALERS WILL HEAR
RESULTS OF SURVEY
ON COST ACCOUNTING
Treat Is in Store for Dele
gates to Convention in
Chicago.

st. Louis. Mo-, Jan. 8.--First returns
from survey on the cost of doing bust.
ness in the retailing of automobiles are
in process Of compilation by the Ma
tiOnal Automobile Dealers Association
which is conducting a brief research on
this subject. Cost OF doing business
will be the subject Of discussion by
Richard Lennihan, assistant director
of the Harvard bureau of business adj
ministration. at the 1928 convention of
the National Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation in Chicago, January 81 to 30,
inclusive. Results from the first re-
turns in the survey probably will be
made known TO members of the Ma
tional Association just prior TO the con-
vention.
The figures now being obtained will
give some idea OF the costs in the auto
mobile business as compared to the
costs Of doing business in other fields.
Lennihan will have at his disposal for
discussing this subject. the facts estab-
lished by the Harvard bureau in its
study of the wholesale grocery business.
department stores, retail jewelry and re-
tail shoe business.
All of those businesses we're studied
on the basis Of theits records for 1921.
For eleven years the bureau has been
carrying OH a systematic study in the
retail shoe trade. This study has shown
n steady increase in the accuracy of ac-
counting in this business and n steadily
widening influence on methods that have
much to do with the fixing Of overhead
costs in the business.
"Inasmuch as the standard classifi-
cation Of accounts is only gradually
coming into use, some discrepancies
still nre found in the methods of classil
flying expenses in department stores. +"
says the Harvard bureau, on the study
of costs in the department stores.
The report on the retail jewelry trade
says that "despite the fact that sub

in the winter season. The car pre-
pared for this season should also, with
considerable handling, be found TO be in
condition for use through spring and
summer.
Motor car owners giving thought TO
the foregoing points and governing their
automobile use accordingly can do much
to MD the high-class automobile man
in providing better facilities, more ear
satisfaction and maintenance at lesser
cost. Car owners can readily find the
shops that are systematized and pre-
pared TO handle quickly and economical
ly, work in all seasons of the year. On
behalf Of the motoring public, the Ma
tional Automobile Dealers Association
urges upon motor car owners having
work done on the car as it is needed.
We seek the cooperation of the motor
car tOwners toward improving quality
of maintenance and, wherever possible,
to lower cost.

BUSINESS CONCERNS
BUY ENCLOSED CARS
FOR SALESMEN'S USE
Closed Cars Are Giving
Open Models Close Race
for Popularity.
BY A. Il. c. Hardy.
President, Olds Motor Works.

There is little doubt in the minds
Of the leading automobile engineers and
manufacturers that the industry as u
whole is facing the most prosperous
year it has ever known. This, l believe
applies especially to closed car produc-
ton in the year to come.
Today we have the situation of the
closed cars giving the open models n
hard run in the race for popularity and
strange as this may seem it applies 10
business firms and their executives as
well as the individual owner.
We have the business house of today
fast turning TO the enclosed types of
automobiles as means of transporting
their statesmen in various territories
where formerly they used the railroads
exclusively. In this case the closed
model is chosen for its all weather facili-
ties, which allows the car to be driven
in rain or snow, in winter or summer.
Then we have the private individual
who buys a car partly for business and
| partly for family use. This man wants
a closed car TO meet weather conditions
and also for its added beauty and COM
fort in touring.
1t is for these reasons that manufac-
trrers are more and more paying close
| attention to the closed models and ex-
erting every effert to produce them at
low margin of cost so every possible
consumer an find an enclosed model
within his reach.
While it is true that the business
world as whole is fast becoming
sold" on the fact that the automobile
is the one real means of transportation
today, whether it be for freight, shipped
by truca. or passenged service, do not.
believe that the time will ever come
when the much discussed point of "sat-
uration" in the automobile world will be
reached.
What the future holds in store for
this industry no man can safely predict
but it is safe TO say that changes in
the next few years will probably i'm
prove automobile travel as much, if not
more, than they have changed in the
last 10 years.
also believe that a large share OF
the cars of the future will be closed
models, perhaps not of the type which
we see today but developed from these
models so that window operation in any
| kind of weather will be extremely easy
and the cars can practically be convert
| cd into closed models at seconds no.
tice.
This Of course will involve changes
in top and body construction which can
only be worked out after a great deal
Of study and many experiments.
There is little doubt. however, that
| the demand for closed cars will never
reach such point that it will take the
entire production Of a factory TO ac-
commOdate it. There will always be
demand for open models. from a certain
! class of purchasers who like TO tour
with the top down and demand a sporty
looking car.
In the case Of the various Oldsmo.
bile models it has been proven that in
the last year our closed car sales have
been greater than ever before and ] be.
lieye this is mainly due to the smart
lines of enclosed types whichswe manu-.
