OUTPUT
GAUGED BY DEMAND
Industry Turns to Salesmanship
as Chief Aim During
Year.
BY DAVID J. WrLKTE,
Associated Press stan writer


DETROIT, May Tine first to feel
the effects of business depression, and
normally the first to recover from It,
the automobile industry at present Is
seeing q revival of one very important
factor that q long period Of prosperity
had almost tossed into the discard. It
Is the pursuit of prospective purchasers
and the development Of intensive sales
manship.
Craftsmanship, and admittedly a lot
of it, is needed in the industry, accord
ing to its leaders. In recent years and
up until the time last Fall when the
overStocked with finished products,
sales had come very easily. The auto
mobile salesman had not been selling"
cars; he merely had been taking orders
Something over 100000 units COM
prlsed the overproduction Of last year.
While in isolated instances dealers still
are overstocked, most of the overpro-
duction has been absorbed by the buy
ing public, and controlled production"
is the rule in the industry. Conceived
originally with the idea of affording
factory workers employment throughout
the year, instead Of 24-hour shifts part
OF the time and diScouraging lay-offS
at other seasons, controlled produc-
ton" has become essential, for the time
being at least, to the financial struc-
ture Of the automobile industry.
With last years overproduction vir-
tually disposed Of and the industry pro-
ducing only as many units as the de-
mand calls for, slow but steady i'm
provement has become apparent, auto
mobile executives declare. While agree
ing that increased demand is natural at
this season of the year, many profess
to believe the hoped-for upward trend
has definitely set In. None win predict,
however. how many units will be pro-
duced in 1880. The automobile indus
try does not want any more production
records for the present; it wants sales
records and hopes for 70 good fair
year"
