OPTIMISM FELT
FOR AUTO INDUSTRY
Two Reasons Given for I'm
provement by Indus
triaIist.
BY l. ]. REUTER-,

President and General Manager. Oakland
Motor Car Co.
I am optimistic regarding the out
look for the automobile industry. This
optimism is based on two simple but
important factors.
First: The let-doWn in business has
covered a Wo-and-one half year period.
1t may continue longer, but we are cer-
tainly two and one-half years nearer
turn than We were in the Fall Of 1929
That much is back of us. The longer
the curtailment lasts the more certain
we are that turn for the better is at
hand. In 1923 when predictions were
being made of a new era in investment
prices and of continued industrial eX-
pansion I was bearish. l was wrong as
to the immediate future, but the longer
prices went up the more certain l was
that a turn was coming. In the same
way I am optimistic of change for
the better now.
Second: The automobile driving
public and the automotive industry are
setting the stage for a turn in the
business.
Individual transportation is such an
important factor in our everyday life,
both personal and business, that it is
necessity next IN Importance 10 Ioou
and shelter.
Present transportation is being
rapidly worn out as indicated by gaSo-
line consumption. Figures on gaSO-
line consumption show that Americas
26.50O,000 motor cars burned 5 per cent
more fuel in 1880 than in 1929. During
1881 the increase in fuel consumption
continued almost at the same rate.
Automobile production in 1928 and
1929 reached high peaks and the owners
of these cars will be influenced to buy
the new products offered in 1882.
The industry has made tremendous
progress during the past several years
and cars four years old are compare
lively obsolete when the 1882 models
are considered. The industry has made
remarkable advances in engineering
and style design and owners of older
cars must be dissatisfied with those
cars when comparing them with the
new designs offered The facts. there

moving a lever at his nngertips ths
driver may adjust the ahsorbers for
any type Of road and enjoy comfort
heretofore unknown.
Body construction also has taken q
great stride forward. The trend to-
ward streamlines has been developed
to an unusual degree In which beauty
and practically merge. Insulation
against heat, cold and noise has been
measurably improved. Interiors have
been enriched and given still greater
convenience
Although these are supposed to be
days Of economizing, the car buyer of
1882 will find that the manufacturer
has not applied this policy to his prod
ucts. Any economizing that has been
done finds expression in more efficient
methods Of production rather than In
the quality of the automobiles them
selves
The year 1882 is truly a year Of
golden opportunity for the motor car
buyer who believes In quality-and ap-
preciates it.

fore, as to car usage and car values
are favorable to a turn in the automo-
tive industry.
A great many students Of business
look to the automobile industry to
lead American business back to more
normal levels, and I believe when re-
covery comes, it will start with the
automobile industry because that in
dustry appears to offer the highest
potential for recovery. Also, this in
dustry is so complex and its ramifica-
tions so wide that its revival would
quicken the pace of business in general.

BUYERS OFFERED
GREATEST VALUES
Auto Industry Now Measur.
ing Progress With a New
Yardstick.
BY LAWRENCE p. FISHER,
President, CADILLAC Motor Car Co.

Motor car buyers this year are offered
the greatest values in the history Of
the automobile industry.
This great buying opportunity exists
because the industry Is now measuring
progress with new yardstlck. In for
mer years the achieving of higher pro-
duction records was regarded as prog
ress. Today building of better cars is
the true Interpretation of the word.
1881 an Unusual Year.
The year 1881 will be recorded in
the annals of the industry as an un-
usual year 1t will be so, of course,
because total production of cars and
trucks was low. But the principal rea-
son 1t will be remembered as unusual is
because it gave impetus to unusual en-
gineering research and development
which are now evident in the new
cars of 1882.
The industry in concentrating it's at
tention on advancing the utility stand
ard Of the motor car has not done
something different. This type Of &C
tivity has been emphasized during each
depression. The self-starter lifted the
business from one slump. Four wheel
brakes brought it out of another.
Balloon tires supplied the momentum
for the rise from third
Constant improvement, Of course, has
characterized the industry since its be-
ginning. Whether business was slow or
booming, manufacturers have sought to
improve their products. So sincerely
and so successfully have they followed
this policy that one might have truth
fully said at the first of any year that
greater value was offered than ever
before.
Opportunity TO Originate.
But in times when business is less
the automobile builder has more op-
portunity TO originate and develop i'm
provements. He not only has more op-
portunity, but he recognizes the neces-
sity Of increasing the appeal of his
product. During the past year he has
recognized such necessity more than
at any other time.
In engineering development, there

LAST YEARS LEVEL .
OR BETTER SEEN
Replacement Market Suffi-
Cient to Equal ProduC-
ton of 1881.
BY w. S. KNUDSEN.


President and General Manager Chevrolet
Motor Co.
I predict for 1923 automobile busi-
ness equal to 1881 or better. Viewed
conseryatively, the replacement market
alone is sufficient to insure production
equal to 1881.
Industry Eager.
With improvement in general bust
ness which is bound to take place any
additional demand will find the automo-
bile industry eager and able to please
and to serve. The progress generally,
appears to me to be ahead of any
other year because in 1882 equal at
tention has been given to appearance
and performance in every price field,
from the bottom to the top.
Speed, in comfort, has evidently been
in the mind of all the engineers. The
result is very pleasing and at the same
time in step with the trend OF the
times, as far as the offered values are
concerned. The automobile industry
holds a position in the public favor
which is enviable and can be said to
have done itself proudly in catering to
both pOCketbook and taste. Therefore,
it SEEMS to me that we can look the
future in the face with confidence and,
while perhaps not expecting 100000
year, the industry can feel satisfied
that whatever car the public wants
it has available, at the proper price and
with the proper comfort and perform
anCe.
Viewpoint Changes.
It is remarkable to observe how the
years Of association with the automobile
has changed our viewpoint toward it:
From a Joke to a luxury to a necessity.
Very few people today would have the
courage to argue that We could get
along without automobiles or with few
er automobiles The greatest inSpira-
ton which the industry has is that it
is a part of every mans or family's
economic life and has done its share in
making them more efficient and more
comfortable.

nomic conditions by lifting pressure
on the channels of distribution. The
manufacturer has built cars strictly in
accordance with his dealers needs He
has brought inventories into healthy
condition. He has placed his 1882 ex-
pectations in the hands of the engineer,
and the engineer has not failed him.
AS a result, the year 1882 starts with
more major automotive advances than
any recent year has seen. Bodies and
chassis alike have felt the touch of new
lie will reap the benefit. In fact, the
public may we'll give thanks to the
depression for the automotive advan-
tages which have emerged from it.
Perhaps the most outstanding accom-
plishments are reflected in transmits
sions. For years gear shifting was re-
garded as one Of the unpleasant fea-
lures of driving. Shifting frequently
was both noisy and difficult. Engineers
started working on this problem, and
gradually they lesSened the noise and
increased the ease of operation. Today
tranSmissions have reached a degree of
absolute silence and such effortless op-
Grafton that gear shifting is simple even
for a child.
Important Advances.
Important advances have been made,
too in mechanismS which assure great
er riding comfort. With the invention
Of the shock absorber several years ago
motor car travel became much more
comfortable. But there was no way
of adjusting the shock abSorber for
different kinds Of roads unless a stop
was made and the adjustment was
changed by hand. Today by merely

biles exerts an even more widespread
influence than either steel or railroads.
The automobile dollar travels farther
than any other dollar in industry and
many factors are favorable for our in
dustry to lead the way to improved
business conditions.

 The accident occurred Wednes- day. Sept. 7th at Iditarod, where Dimond flew with Pilot Steve Mills The current in the river was fairly swift at the time. MT. Dim ond stepped to a pontoon to throw a rope ashore. He remembered cautioning himself that he must be careful of the propeller but did not remember being hit.
 An X-ray examination disclosed that MT. Dimond's injuries were more serious than was at first supposed. The left shoulder bone was broken in three places. The cut is not regarded as serious. It was necessary to place the bone in a cast and will have to be kept that way for. some time.
