ufacturing industries and has d.
rectly employed an army OF more
than 100000 helpers. The total
production value, according 10 the
Department of Commerce, Tor last
year was more than four billion
dollars.
The total of indirectly employed
helpers is impossible to estimate.
1t is safe to say that with those
engaged in mining, manufacture
ing OF metals, the growing of rub
Der, the wood and cloth manufac-
turers, the totals would be well up
| in the millions. 1t Is estimated
that there are about $4,000, 900
automobiles in service throughout
the Nation today.
It Is fitting, therefore, that an
exhibit Of such product be held
annually in the large cities, where
the improved car of the year can
be studied. The comparison OF
the development of the. automo-
bile since It's conception, back In
the early COS, is OF interest. The
horseless carriage Of those days
bears little resemblance to its
descendants OF today.
Auto Has Developed.
The automobile has developed
simultaneously along three lines
power, beauty and comfort. In
power, the machine of today has
picked up speed and endurance.
| Also in that category can be men,
toned safety. For the car of to-
day, if given proper care. holds
no fear for the owner in this
matter. And in the matter OF
safety, the advancement in brake
construction cannot be mini
mized. No greater aid to the
driver has ever been produced.
The beauty of the 1928 car
needs no explanation, and this
applies to all makes and models
No longer does one see ugly un-
symmetrical cars that existed so
numerously in days gone by. Be-
side the graceful lines the paint
ing of cars has advanced. More
thought has been given to what
colors look we'll on various mod
els, and the quality of paint also
has improved.
Comfort can be easily ex-
planned. For there was no COM

ing. Springs of better quality,

Noted in 1927.

Outstanding among the developments
In the export markets this year has
been the recovery Of Continental Eu-
rope. according TO II. s. WEIGH, man.
ager OF export sales. the Studebaker
Corporation Of America Early In the
year, 1t became apparent that automo-
bile buying on the Continent and
Scandinavia had taken an upturn. and
there was great rush among the
American manufacturers TO get their
organizations in shape TO handle the
business, Nor was this rush confined
TO the American manufacturers: the
British and Continental European mo-
tor car manufacturers initiated new
sales campaigns and made a strong
bid for the business. There was no mis-
taking the fact that Europe was staging
a comeback.
During several years after the
armistice, American manufacturers
viewed with doubt the ability Of the
European markets to absorb any APP
probable number OF automobiles. Tariff
barriers, import quotas and horsepower
taxes. coupled with scarcity of money
and deprecated exchanges. cast an un-
inviting shadow over the entire CONT
nent. and automobile manufacturers,

therefore. directed their efforts TO the

therefore, directed their efforts TO the
expansion Of business In the New World
and in the colonial territories.
The year 1927 saw a change IN this
picture. Practically every county In Eu-
rope gave good account OF Itself, with
the result that somewhere around one
third of the total automobiles exported
by American manufacturers this year
we're sold In Continental Europe and
Scandinavia This compares with ship
mentS to other major divisions In the
world markets approximately as fol-
lows: Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
20 per cent: Australasia, 20 per cent:
Great Britain 10 per cent; South Al
RIGA. 8 per cent.
Exports Of American manufacturers
during 1927 exceeded exports during
1926. This Is not true, however. in the
case OF the exports Of European facto-
ries, almost all Of which show a de-
crease this year as compared with 1925
Of from TO 20 per cent.
A number Of European and British
manufacturers have produced more au-
tomobiies this year than last. but the
majority Of their production has been
absorbed In the countries in which these
cars are manufactured. This indicates
strengthening Of European and British
and weakening Of their exports. due
apparently TO better products Of the
American manufacturers and their
more aggressive and widespread sales
activities
American Cars Favored.
Noteworthy among the European
countries that have shown an increased
demand for American cars this year
are Germany, Spain, Sweden, Finland.
Holland and Switzerland
Eastern Europe and the Balkans have
also absorbed an appreciate number Of
American cars this year. as have the
countries Of the Near East and the
markets in North Africa. Small insular
markets have not been inactive. and
the American automobile has found is
way to practically every island IN the
world.

of today.
Yet, again. people Of yesterday
knew of nothing better, and in
their way were satisfied with the

vowed never to ride in them.
