"WhiIe all the 1881 models in.
trOduced by WHY'S Overland

the price range of a four will
occupy the public spotlight at
the auto show here"
William Chown, manager Of the
Mtd-City Sales Company, made
that statement today. He added
"This popularity will be due
not alone to its unusual low
base price, but also to the other
elements that appeal to the
public, such as appearance,
rOOminess, comfort features,
quality appointments and ex-
ceptiOnal high performance
rating.
"It is apparent throughout
the entire 1881 WHY'S line that
the Toledo manufacturer has
made a most progressive and
timely move in providing new
motor cars that meet the pres.
ent ideas of thrift and bring to
the car buyer values which
heretofore were believed prOhib-
tive.
"The 1881 Willys Six. which
employs the same engine that

EARN
5 BILLION IN
AUTO TRADE
One Out of Every Ten Persons
Engaged in Making, Running
! U. S. Cars; All States Give

That one out of ten persons
gainfully employed in the United
States works directly or indirectly
In automobile production, and
that every State in the union
contributes raw materials for this
industry, are among the acts re-
vealed by a recent statistical re-
search, according to E. G.. Henry,
manager of the Indianapolis
Automobile Trade Association.
In the automobile industry as
q whole are engaged directly or
indirectly 4,700,000 persons, at an
annual wage of $1,000 per indivi-
dual. giving to this group a total
purchasing power of over $500,
100000 per year, Mr.. Henry de-
clares.
Consumption Huge
The magnitude of the industry
Is even more astounding when
considered as the largest consumer
of such materials as gasoline,
finished rolled steel and iron,
rubber, plate glass and upholstery.
Seventy-three per cent of the
country'S polished plate glass and
SO per cent Of its upholstery
leather are used for automobiles.
Eighty-four per cent of the rub
ber used in the country becomes
automobile tires.
Eighteen per cent of the fin
tshed rolled steel and iron is used
In the automobile industry, giving
employment to more than 10000
workers. Sixty per cent of
stripped steel, 80 per cent Of sheet
steel, 90 per cent of steel in the
form Of bars, and SO per cent of
maIleable iron is purchased by
automobile makers.
Big aluminium Used
Thirty-seven per cent of alumi-
mum production in the United
States is consumed in producing
castings, alloys and sheets for
automobiles. Twenty-three per
cent OF tin deliveries in the United
States is absorbed by the automo-
bile industry.
Nearly 10 per cent of our do
mest1c cotton consumption is
used for the making of tires,
brake lining, curtains and up
holstery padding.
Eighty per cent of the gasoline
used in the United States goes
into automobile tanks, requiring
more than 100000 persons in re-
filming and retailing.
-Four hundred and fifty million
gallons Of lubricating oil are used
In the operation of automobiles
each year.
The automobile industry pays
over S93O,O00,000 annually in
Federal, State and local taxes,
according to Mr.. Henry.

Not until late this year will the

TIE change in the moving date has
cone about according to Malcolm
Kerlin, administrative assistant to Sec
rotary Lamont, because of mechanical
difficulties in connection with ConStruc-
ton work on the Governments largest

tors have set up on the main floor and
in the basement of the central portion
of the new StruCture-the part which is
nearing completion-a number of small
mechanical shops These shops they
have told Treasury engineers, are neces-
sary TO completion Of their work. and
to remove them would delay the work.

would be difficult to make if part OF
the building were occupied before
November when the central building
heating plant, to be located in the south
wing, will be completed and ready for
use.
