Rolling up a marvellous record of
sales, 1926 served to teach the auto
mobile industry the valuable lesson
that quantity production, like every
thing else, can be overdone and that
a good thing really can be acquired in
excessive quantity; for, despite the
record-breaking production, net profits
in the automobile industry showed
slump for most compan MES.
Twelve representative companies,
exclusive Of the two largest organiza-
tions, in 1925 manufactured 1,059.116
cars. Their net profits were $123,-
43S.041. In 1926 these same companies
sold 1892. .644 cars, but the profit fell
away to $S9 ,9S7,12S Why? The an
swer is plain. In 1925 the average
profit per unit in these companies was
$117. Last year it was SIS.
Prices had been savagely reduced
in the effort to gain volume. The in
dividual company's gain was scarcely
up to anticipations, for competitors
Immediately followed suit and every
one was caught. 1t became patent
that volume alone was snare and a
delusion.
In it's effort to gain volume one COM
pany reduced it's profit per unit from
$81 in 1925 to $22 in 1925. Officials
Of this same company were among the
first to realize the error Of their rea-
soning. They saw the necessity for
boosting their margain Of earning on
each car turned out and they believed
the public would go along with them.
In proving the accuracy of their esti-
mate concerning the buyer they have
set an example that others probably
will follow soon.
At the first of the year this com.
pany announced a complete new line
of cars. They raised the price on all
models. Did the buyer turn to
another company's products? He did
not. He knew he was getting a better
car even il it cost him more money.
AS a result the company is on
sounder footing than it has been in
years. The higher prices cost it moth.

HAWAII GIVES TOURISTS

Keeping Ahead
OF Neighbors Aids
Foreign Car Sale

a factor in the amazing growth
of the automobile industry is the
desire of the average person, not
only to keep up with his neighbor,
but to keep ahead of him. This de-
sire frequently takes rather unusual
turns. This is no better illustrated
than in the case OF a certain high
priced automobile which has plants
both in England and the United
States.
In spite OF the import duty that
makes the English-made car more
expensive and Notwithstanding the
fact that it Is virtually impossible
to tell the difference between the
machines made on this or the other
side of the Atlantic. many Ameri-
cans prefer to pay the higher price
just for the privilege of saying:

The request was prompted by
the fact that Rappoli's pet dog
had been killed and his front steps
torn away when careless operators
twice failed correctly to gauge the
corner and crashed into his house.

Windshield Wipers Need Care.

Windshield wiper tubes are subject
to weathering that makes the rubber
porous and inefficient. If the wiper
has slowed down considerably and
does not perform with its usual ef-
fectiveness. the tube is one of the
first features to be suspected. 1t is
cheap to replace. and replacement is
