Of AUTOS
BEGIN To FURNISH
ALL ACCESSORIES
BY JOHN COSBY
Copyright, 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Associa ion-5pecal Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journai.)


NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE goal
now aimed at by most of the auto
mobile manufacturers is to furnish
a. car complete down to the finest
detail. In some cases this means
that the manufacturers of motor
cars may themselves go into the
making Of automobile accessories.
The Ford company already is sell
ing to it's dealers bumpers, wind
shield wipers and rear-view mirrors.
There Is a decided prospect that
Ford will go in for other accesso-
ries.
The Hupmobile people are now
furnishing what they claim is the
only medium priced car including in
its purchase price every commonly
used accessory. Other companies are
approaching similar claims in vary
ing degrees. The JeWett people
have both standard and a "de
luxe" line, the former priced with
out extras on a basis of quantity
output, and the latter at a price
sufficiently higher to cover the cost
OF accessories.
The Ford company has taken the
position that as yet only a moderate
number of buyers want the extras
when they buy the car. BY fur.
nishing the Ford dealers at a low
price with the extras most common.
ly used, they figure the demands
of all classes of buyers can be met
with the ultimate cost in each case
in proper ratio to the cost of the
uneduipped car. In the field o.
higher-priced cars, the trend is al.
most uniformly toward a car which
has everything.
In addition to the factor OF costs,
few producers at present are enjoy
ing volume of sales heavy enough
to permit low-priced quantity meth
DDS of production. The number of
men employed in the Detroit facto-
ries last week fell to a low point
for the season, with 194,490 employ.
ed as compared with a high for the
year of 242,331.
1t is an acknowledged fact in in
dustry that below a certain volume
of production, prices must increase
as out-turn decreases. Herein lies
the reason for many of the recent
price increases.
Strenuous efforts have been made
to avoid increasing prices by chang
ing manufacturing and merchandise
ing methods. A few companies have
concentrated on single chassis
For example, the Buick and NASH
factories have eliminated their four
cylinder lines entirely, to center on
a six-cylinder model. Another com
pany has cut down the number Of
it's models from IA to 7. Still anoth'
er is planning to eliminate open cars
