This Is One of Outstanding
Developments of Industry,
Says Oakland Official

The two outstanding developments
OF the last year in the automotive in.
dustry have been the fattening down
of the seasonal selling peaks and the
tremendous demand for closed
models Thus w. r. Tracy. assistant
sales manager of the Oakland Motor
Car company. Pontiac, Mich. ana
lyzes the changing public sentiment
which has brought this about.
while It is true hat there may
probably always be selling seasons in
the motor car industry, the selling
season as IT was understood in former
years is no more" explains Mr..
Tracy. Undoubtedly more motor
cars were sold this spring than will
be sold in n like period during the
remainder of the year. but the per
centage OF this springs total sale to
h whole year will be considerably
smaller than in other years and will
grow smaller each year
Probably the biggest factor in
making the spring selling season a
rounded hump rather than a sharp
high peak is the sharply increasing
sale of closed models-that in add
ton to the increasing number of i'm.
proved highways.
During this last year dealers often
sold the largest percentage of their
January and February shipments
after receiving them. where many of
them had expected to store them up
for the spring selling season. March,
likewise. stands out as one of the
biggest sales months this year in
motor cars. And July. which falls
of as a sales month. gives every
indication Of keeping up strong.
Closed cars are bought at any and
every time during the year because
they can be used with the utmost
comfort any time Of the year. Peo-

The committee has found that GER

partaking of fraud, are not sporadic,
but are quite general in many locali-
ties and that prompt steps in pre-
