Low Cpkeep Cost Essential.
Equally important with low cost
as a qualification of the car of the
future is low cost of upkeep.' The
weekly expense of an automobile will
be more important to the man whose
income Is 500 a month than will the
cost price. The one he has saved by
easy stages, the other must be taken
out of his earnings. Gasoline bills,
repair bills. tire bills must be low.
They should be as low as the expense
bills for horse and carriage. This
low maintenance account can result
only from light weight.
so the car Of the future will be
light as well as low-priced. This
means the substitution of quality for
quantity, even to the use of mate

1t is notable also in connection with
the foregoing prophecy by Mr.. Ford,
that during the last year 2,0so.959
Ford cars and trucks were produced,
fulfilling the statement made in 1910
that the light, low-priced car would
enjoy the greatest popularity.

FUTURE OF AUTO
F0RESEEN BY FORD.
Prophecy by Noted Manu-
facturer, Made in 1910,
Now Held as Verified.

How clearly Henry Ford saw the
future of the automobile and how
well he prophesied it is shown in an
article written by him in February,
1910. and published in Detroit news
paper.
In 1909, as the article states, 2,0oo,-
600 horse drawn vehicles were sold
as against $4,000 automobiles. How
the prophesied reversal came appears
in figures for last year, which show
the sale of approximately 1000. 900
motor cars during 1928 as compared
with 100000 horse-drawn vehicles.
Text OF Ford's Article.
The article follows:
The automobile of the past at
tanned success in spite of its price,
because there were more than enough
purchasers to be found to take the
limited output of the then new indus
try. Proportionately few could buy,
but these few could keep all the man
ufacturers busy, and price therefore
had no bearing on sales.
The automobile of the present is
making good because the price has
been reduced just enough to add suf-
hcient new purchasers to take care
of the increased output. Supply and
not Gust mas the
selling price of automobiles. The car
OF today is better by far than the car
of a few years ago-the natural re-
suit of experience. The price is lower,
just enough lower to add sufficient
possible purchasers to buy the in
creased output.
The automobile of the future must
be enough better than the present car
to beget confidence in the man of
limited means and enough lower in
price to insure sales for the enor-
mously increased output.
Must BE "Car of the People"
THE car of the future must be the

that car is coming sooner than most
people expect.
future success of the automobile.
Comparatively few persons can afford
even $1,000 car. limited number
of factories can easily supply all the
demand for high priced cars. but the
market for low-priced car is un-
limited. More than 100000 horse
drawn vehicles were sold by Ameri-
can factories in 1909. When you sub
Stitute a motor-driyen vehicle for
each of these 100000 wagons, and
carriages. you get an idea of the
automobile of the future.
The loU-priced car will not be a

tesy. a machine built for 4 price. II
is harder to sell to a man who can
only afford a low-priced car than to
the man whose money comes more
easily. Not only must the successful
car of the future be low priced, but
il must present at least equal value
with the present high priced cars.
The low W-priced car should actually
be better than the car at a higher
price, for more is expected of il. The
man who can afford the high priced

DECLARES FEELING
OF PANIC ABSENT
Tire Firm Executive. Says
Business Outlook Con-
tinues Bright.

AKRON, Ohio, March ga year
ago the business man of this country
was panicky, looking for the ghost of
depression. 1t took almost nothing
to stampede the country and put it
into backward frame of mind from
the business standpoint. But today
the rank and file of business does not
feel panicky."
So declared E. G.. Wilmer, chairman n
OF the board of directors of the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company, in an
address before 500 members of the
East Akron Board of Trade.
To-day business men and industries
are operating on normal require
ments to greater degree than for
years past, and out of that has come
the stability and progress and peace
OF mind that the country as whole
has today" he continued.
SubStantiating his statements, Mr..
Wilmer gave figures to show that
Improvement in business since the
depression in 1920 has been gradual
but effective, pointing out that
though building suffered temporary
setback in the early part of 1929, it
made good gains over the year pre-
Eious, and stands in a normal posi-
tion today; that retail business had
increased from 10 to % per cent dur
ing the year: that business failures
were fewer in 1928 than in the year
previous; that tax reform is in sight,
and that the public debt has been de-
creased.
Exports OTcFrated.
Many have had the IMPRESSION =
Mr.. Wilmer said, that the prosperity
of the country depends on the export
trade. Considered that the total eX
port volume of business in dollars in
gross normal domestic business vary
ing from 50 to 1lS billions. impartial
judgment would say that export busi-
ness does not materially affect the
general trend of affairs, nor would
1t put us in a depression or cause in
hated conditions, on the other hand.
However, we are back today TO
favorable trade balance with the rest
of the world"
Commenting on immigration re-
etrictions, Mr.. Wilmer stated that
though the quota for the present
fiscal year was already filled in jan
uary- the labor problem was solving
itself in the general adjustment in
industries and the taking out of Su
perfluous men equaliZing the supply
by redistribution.

toward helping you accomplish the
ends that such bettered conditions

among a group of business men in
one section of the country. Let them
get an idea that the stock market
will fall off or that some other thing
will happen, and the idea spreads
like wildfire, with the result that

men get back into their shells and
business gets a setback.
IF the automobile industry had a
struggle in the readjuStment period
the rubber industry has passed
through all that and more" Mr.. Will
mer said. Not only did it have the
ills of the times, but it had de-
crease in demand to cope with as
well, due to the fact that about this
time, because of the greater mileage
that tires were giving, the tire con-
sumption per car dropped four to
two and one-quarter.'
Mr.. Wilmer said that the corporate
business of the country in dollars
and cents from 1916 to the present
time was $4,000. 5000, 900 in 1916, with
earnings of % per cent: 1917 touched
$4,000, 900 900 and earned 12 per
cent: 1918 totaled Ss6, 900. 600, and
earnings had dwindled to s per cent,
and then back to $55, 100000 in
1921, when the earnings were less
than ] per cent.
These conditions forced a read

SEE BALLOON TIRE
AS EASIER ON ROAD
Observers Think Highways Will
Be Conserved by Broader
Wearing Surface.

The balloon tire is as yet too new
to tell its own story, but some of the
reasons urged against it by its op
ponents do not seem warranted by
facts. Misled, perhaps, by the un-
doubted fact that the pneumatic tire
caused great destruction to the then
common type of hard road, the water
bound macadam, conservatives now
state that the balloon tire, with its
greatly increased size of wearing sur
face. will cause damage TO roads Of
other than cement or brick surface.
This is not horne out by facts al

Over White Line

When you have accidentally crossed
the white line on the street intersec-
ton and you know that the officer is
going to bawl you out for it, don't
try to back up if there are other cars
behind you. They'll start blowing
their horns and attract attention to
you, which is exactly what you want
to avoid. 1t may take you little out
of your way, but if it will save a

you've crossed the line. It's usually
permissible.

only 3.inch bore by 4A>inch stroke you get
68 horse power, top speed well over 70 miles

The verdict is that the Chrysler Six is now the
measure Of all other cars in every phase Of
performance.
Such an overwhelming number of people are
eager to ride in the Chrysler Six that some
disappoinments have been unavoidable. 1t
