HAPPY over '34
BUSINESS VIEW
Many Surprises Due for
Motorists in New
Creations.
BY STURGE WELLS
Times Automobile Editor

A visit to Detroit last week re-
vealed that there will be more sur
prises in store for the buying public
with the announcements of the new
1884 lines of automobiles than in
any other one year in the history OF
the industry.
Moreover, there was very de-
cided air of optimism among the
powers that be" in this field for
the thinking is that 1884 is going to
be a banner year for the automobile
business. The most pertinent proof
of this belief is illustrated by the
tremendous advertising and sales
promotion plans which practically
all of the companies contacted have
set up to introduce and back up
their 1884 models.
Studebaker and Nash fired the
opening guns of the 1884 season
some time back, while Ford fol-
lowed up a couple of weeks ago by
introducing the new Ford V-8 line.
Now indications are that General
Motors and perhaps one or more of
the Chrysler units will have some
thing to say about their 1884 models
before the month is out.
Boost Advertising
Some of the advertising "brass
hats" told the writer that advertis-
ing appropriations for 1884 will far
exceed 1888 and that most of the
companies are planning on saying it
with bigger and better advertising
inches in newspapers.
One thing that General Motors,
Chrysler units, and Hudson Essex
seem to agree upon is that the we'll
dressed car for 1884 will have
knees Translated to those who
as yet are not quite sure of just
what this might meant means in
dependent front wheel suspension
The object of this new engineering
feat in American cars is that it
minimizeS road shock and assures
smoother riding qualities.
Refined Line Styles
From an appearance standpoint
the trend of all cars will be more
refined and streamed lines. While
I did not have the opportunity of
seeing either the new DeSoto or
Chrysler "Airf1ow' cars, from all
descriptions they both will be rad
ical departures from present-day
conventional automobiles in appear
ance and engineering principles.
Although there is no definite as
surance, it is practically agreed that
there are one or two other COM
panies which also will introduce
something entirely different in their
1884 line.
Word from Kenosha, Wis, the
land of the Nash, has it that this
automobile manufacturer plans to
make a definite bid in the low
priced car field next year, and will
introduce this new car, which is
reputed to carry a familiar name of
a few years back at the New York
show.
The most interesting thing and
most noticeable thing in Detroit
today is the increase in activities
and the tremendous number of peo-
pie who have been put back to work.
There is marked difference in the
very countenance of these people
today as compared with year ago

PONTIAC DEALERS
REPORT HIGH SALE
Stock Removed Rapidly as Business
Increases 300 Per Cent.

The Pontiac Motor Company
which sold more than three times
as many cars during the last ten
days of November as were sold in
the same ten days Of 1882, has en-
tered December with the lowest
dealer stock of new cars recorded
since 1882, according to A. w. L.
Gilpin, president and general
sales manager.
LAS of Dec. l, all Pontiac dealers
in the United States had on hand
only a few of the current model
Pontiac cars" said Mr.. Gilpin
This, of course, renders unneces-
sary any year end clean up and
places the dealers in the advan-
tageous position of being able to
concentrate all their selling effort
upon the 1884 models the moment
they are announced"
Mr.. Gilpin announced that Pom
tiac'S retail sales in the first eleven
months Of 1888 exceeded the first
eleven months of 1882 by 1886

middle west scored a 252.9 per cent
increase and retail sales gained
1888 per cent, it was disclosed in
