Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January Although

INITIAL STIMULUS
NEED Of BUSINESS
Automobile Shows May Be
Necessary Starter for
1882.
BY G. M. WILLIAMS,
President Marmou Motor Car Co.

1t is generally agreed that any event
or combination OF events that provides
business with a substantial initial stlm-
ulus will mark the beginning OF defl-
mite and lasting march toward good
times and prosperity.
The automobile shows, during Whlch
the collective effort of the largest IN
dustry in the country Is manifest IN lts
greatest degree, may be the starter tnat
is so important to business today. II is
altogether within the bounds of reason
to believe that the combined selllng
force Of many great companies, with
their new models and their aggressive
merchandising programs, will be most
notable factor in pushing general busi-
ness Sut of the doldrums.
Employment Effect.
Suppose the activity generated by the
new models at the automobile shows re-
suited in putting even 100000 people
back to work in producing motor cars,
parts or accessories. The psychological
effect would be nothing short Of mirac-
ulous. There would be better feeling
everywhere. The buying power OF
100000 families-nearly half million
people-Would be restored. All indus
tries would feel the result. 1t would be
like touching an electric starter OF
business
All this is well within the realm OF
possibility if people support their auto
mobile show. go to it and take genuine
interest in the things they will see. In
spite of adverse conditions during the
last year or two, there are many hun
dreds of thousands of people who can
afford a new car But whether you can
afford one or not, go to the automobile
show. Tell you friends about the mar
velous new models you have seen. Urge
them to attend. 1t will be well worth
while.
Annual Announcements.
AS a step toward more advantageous
business practice, the automobile indus
try decided some time ago to make all
of it's important neW-model announce

LEADERSHIP SEEN
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Response of Americas Motor
Manufacturers Cited by

BY A. VAN DER ZEE.

General Sales Manager. Dodge Bros. Cor
poration.
That Americas motor manufacturers
have responded as a unit to the Ma
tion's call for industrial leadership in
an attempt to bring about certain
return to better times, I believe, is
evidenced by the startling value-plus
creations that are being displayed at
this years auto show.
Not a Novelty.
AS 1t was expressed recently in one
of the leading trade journals, mobiliza-
ton of its forces at the time OF ma
tional emergency such as exists today
is not a new thing for the automobile
industry. Almost overnight it switched
its engineering and productive genius
to the manufacturing Of munitions and
combat equipment during the World
War; later, it mobilized just as speedily
and lust as effectively for its own
organization and expansion; and now,
once again, it is called upon to assume
leadership and return to normal the
buying habits Of nation. That we
will be successful, I am certain. Inc
automobile industry will leave nothing

normal buying habits have produced
a deficit in the countrys motor vehicle
inventory.
This deficit" is regarded as an ac-
cumulated bank of replacement busl-
ness which will be released with the
restoration of confidence In business
stability and the elimination OF OBJ
stacleS to trade revival.
Fundamentally, the replacement
theory is sound However, before its
application to the motor industry can
be accepted, two conditions must be
taken into consideration.
First.-There must be some assur-
ance that American standards Of liv-
ing will continue to permit and re-
quire motor vehicle ownership on the
same scale as before the depression.
Second-Artifcial barriers which
might tend to limit the number Of peo-
pie who can afford to own or operate
automobiles must not be raised.
Over the first condition there is
need for little concern. The desire for
automobile ownership is almost uni
versal and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will continue SO.

are being shown at this years SSho"
than ever before. More companies have
waited until show time to disclose the
improvements they have made IN their
products, to reveal the progress they
have made during the last II months to
produce better transportation.
Every company is doing its level best
to create widespread interest in its cars
as displayed at the automobile SHOW.
We want you to go to the automobile
show and do your bit toward reward
ing with your interest the efforts Of
the industry as whole.
The automobile industry is one Of the
largest and most important in the
world Normally, one out Of every 10
persons gainfully employed in the
United States is connected in some way
with the making selling or servjcing Of
automobiles To stimulate this indus
try would be to help all industries.
Now is you opportunity to do that very
thing-go TO the automobile show.
Evening star., 1932-01-31

ly demonstrated by the prices that have
been established on the maSterful Gre
ations the industry offers for 1882, have
attacked this masSed reluctance to buy
by acting upon the premise that even
the most timtd will buy normally when
they are convinced that they are getting
value-and then sOne-for their money.
Actually, and as gesture Of patriotism
to the Nation automobile manufactur-
crs have put limit on their expected
profits in 1882.
UnSelfish Move.
Personally, even though say 1t my
self as a member of the motor fra
ternity l think it is highly unselflSh
move on their part and one that IS de-
serving of the same patriotic co-opera-
ton from that 85 per cent Of the popu--
lation that is steadily employed and
that does enjoy an income and can
buy.
In conclusion, it is the patriotic, the
moral duty of all of US who can TO
buy, so want and suffering OF the rev
can be permanently converted lnto
peace of mind and prosperity Tor all.

INDUSTRY IS HELD
HEALTHY IN ]. s.
Efficiency and Economy Ex.
pressed to Prospective
Auto Buyers.
BY ALBERT Russell ERSKINE,

President, the studebaker Corporation.
The automobile industry enters 1882
in a healthy condition, physically and
II rentaly Plant facilities are Ship-shape
and new products of surprising merit
are launched upon the market. Never
in its long, glorious history has the
industry functioned so brilliantly, etfl-
ciently and economically in expressing
itself to motor car buyers in particular
and to the transportation world in gen.
eral The cars exhibited at the national
automobile shows will themselves DEM
onstrate these achievements and create
new buying urge in the markets.
Need of Requirements.
Many of the existing cars, number
ing 100000 practically worn out, must
be replaced in 1882 through sheer
necessity If normal transportation re-
quirements are to be met. More than
20, 900 900 passenger cars and 100000
commercial cars now operate in Amer
ica moving people and goods back and
forth, mostly bent on business. Only
motor cars can do this work, because
horses are gone from our streets and
roads.
Is the United States a 10000, ,000-car
country or are we a $4,000, ,000car
country, as some economists suggest?
Out Of the 100000 cars and trucks
more than years Old and now in use,
how many must be replaced in 1882
because CT obsolescence? How many
people who own them will be able to
buy new cars? Consideration Of these
questions interests the automobile in
dustry The outcome will determine
the degree and extent of it's operations
in 1882 and inevitably bear directly
upon the business prosperity OF the
country as a whole.
Betterment Effort Made.
BY making 1882 new cars better than
ever the industry has made determined
effort to stimulate new buying and re-

placement to the greatest possible ex-
tent, and thereby contribute its part
to the dissipation of the general de-
preston. On top of replacement due
to obsolescence there is the normal re-
placement arising from the seductive
appeal of mechanical improvement and
style. Additionally, there Is always
some new buying.
For these reasons, therefore, I ex-
pect the total volume of business in

at a time when the country looks to 1t
for individual and national encourage
ment.
Never before in all my years Of ex-
perience, and I believe other executives
in the industry will concur with me
in this expression have I seen such
comfort, such practicability and such
value as is contained in the offerings
Of the industry for 1892. AS one wan
ders through the various exhibits,
either as just mere spectator or as
an actual ready-to-buy prospect, he
cannot help but sense within himself
a feeling of desire-an urge to want to

models for his own, or for his wife and
family.
Keeping the Faith.
If we manufacturers have succeeded
in instilling that feeling into the breasts
Of the American people at this start of
a new year, we will be glad thank
ful-hecause we will then know that
the industry has kept the falth-that
the patriotic leadership that was eX-
pected Of it has not been misplaced.
People will not buy just because they
are asked to, even at such a time as
this, although down deep in their hearts
they fully realize that their reluctance
to draw upon their idle dollars means
prolongation of their personal, indi-
