FLINT, Mich, Mar What
becomes of all the automobiles?
This 81 the question which arises
naturally in many minds, in re-
sponse to the news that the auto.
motive industry is tuning up in an
ticipation of a Notwithstanding
production in 1928. Obviously, q
certain proportion of the three or
four million cars built iE this coun-
try each year go to replace We.
hicles which have passed out Of
service al such. 1t .ia equally GER
tain that not all Of the replaced
cars have been junked. But where,
then, are they?
This is the question asked OF A.
b. Patterson, director OF advcrtis-
ing for the Buick Motor company
MIR. Patterson answered that while
he could speak only for Buick, the
files of the Buick Bulletin con-
tanned hundreds OF photographs
showing there cars making good
in lines outside ordinary highway
transportation.
I'm the first place, fully three
quarters of all the two million
Bucks which have been built are
still in service as motor cars" said
Mr.. Patterson "Of those which
are not, hundreds have been con-
verted into power plants of vari-
Gus sorts. Some are running saw
mills, some operate pumping out
fits, some are in marine use, and
many more find useful employment
im various phases of construction
work.
These are only a few of the
unusual jobs which Bucks reputa-
ton for power and stamina have
suggested TO users in various parts
Of the world. The list is, being en-
larged constantly, answering at
least in part. the question that was
asked. Thousands of cars keep on
earning their way long after their
value as transportation has been
extracted, the only limit to such
use, apparently, being the ingenuity

that in it's basic elements of con-

The Whippet, engineers state,
