us. AUTO INDUSTRY
TO KEEP UP PACE

1T is within our power TO mako
1923 the healthiest and most normal
year in the automotive industry since
the great war" according to H. II
Rice president OF the Cadillac Motor
Car Company. 'Everywhere there is
evidence of an intelligent effort IL
do this, not by wishing for new
boom and price imitation, but by Civ
ing better days work and produc-
ing better goods We are acting on
the realization that real wealth ~
not measured in dollars, but in the
quantity and quality OF goods pro
duced.
Prior 10 the great activity of the
latter half Of 1922 the country had
passed through d needed period o.
defation. A closer approach to nor
NAL is now evident in commodity
prices, production and commercial &C
|tivity.
Better Average Than I'm 1922.
For both general business and our
own industry all indications at the
beginning of 1923 were for an aver
age throughout the year better than
the first two months of the new year.
reports confirm those earlier conclu-
siOns. Sales and production have
fully met expectations.
I'VE believe that the potential In
ffuence of Europe upon our norma
progress has been oVerestimated
From my own personal study of con

then Great Britain has added much

Most motorists are surprised to
learn that every time the brakes are
applied gasoline is wasted.
1t is a. new way of viewing the
timely subject of conserving on fuel;
and, If the truth were known, it is
the answer to the whole business
We must stop needless stopping.
We fail TO appreciate the great power
of momentum which is at our dis
posal, and what is the consequence
We pay for our ignorance at the
filing station. We complain about
the low gas mileage we get and in
sist that the oil companies are mulct-
ing us. We speak Of the high cost
of going when in reality ii is the high
cost of stopping.
