IunaIinn the Eiaures7


Motordom appears to be sorely in
need of accurate statistics regard
ing production of cars and trucks.
There are two agencies at present
concerned with compiling of these
figures: the United States Depart
ment of Commerce and the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce,
but
Wall Street makes part OF Its
millions by the encouragement or
announcement which printed statis-
tics create in the investors mind.
That may explain the Juggling OF
production figures.
A recent piece OF news, credited
10 the automobile manufacturers as
ISOLATION mentions 449,173 cars and
trucks as representing the total of
production of motor vehicles for the
i United States and Canada This
compares" reads the item. with
<49,677 in March and S59,976 In
April, 1925. One Of the n. A. Z. Z.
reports for last years activities in
the industry places April. 1925, pro-
! duction at 439,117.
A mistake In the recent Item?
Perhaps. The figure for April, 1928,
according to one of the automotiye
trade publications is: 439,124.
Figures can be. and frequently are,
tuggled for a purpose. This juggling
is done mainly by questionable
stock brokers who have something
to sell or who want to buy when
others are frightened into selling at
a sacrifice. This reflects upon the
accuracy of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Department OF Com
