It is now the second largest indie
pendent In the field.
Mr.. McAneeny said: Since the
introduction Of our present Hud-
son and Essex models we have en-
ioyed a consistent and record
breaking demand. Shipments for
the first three months Of the year
were lo8.043 cars. This volume re-
suited in first quarter earnings OF
s4.456, 783 or S256 a share-the most
favorable first-quarter showing we
have eve made.
The second quarter will be
larger-we expect 100 600 cars or
mere. On such a volume second
quarter earnings will likewise es-
tablish a new record. For the first
half Of 1929. therefore. we shall
have placed more OF our cars with
the public and earned a larger
sum for our shareholders than in
anv similar period.
While Spring Is the most active
selling season. we are confident
that cur sales organization will
continue TO provide us with
share Of the growing demand.
Aside from the proved popularity OF
cur cars. a strong favorable factor
IS the prosperity az these selling
forces and the small supply Of cars
IN their hands. The number Of our
active distributors and dealers in
the United States exceeds 5000
