GENERAL MOTORS
SALE OF TRUCKS
SHOWS INCREASE

Sales of General Motors Trucks dur
ing the current year-to consumers in
the United States have shown def
mite increase over the corresponding
period of 1888, with progressive i'm
provement by months, it was announc-
ed at the Pontiac, Mich, factory by
J. P. Little, vice president directing
sales of General Motors Truck and
Coach.
Said Mr.. Little: "Not only has our
sales volume been much larger thru
out 1889 but the untitled order bank
reported to us by our dealers has been
increasing steadily since the last part
of May, with the exception of that
period Immediately previous to the
declaration of war, when it dropped
slightly.
cit is interesting to note the pro-
gressive improvement by months over
the same period of 1888, ranging from
an increase in sales to United States
consumers in January of Fl per cent
to an increase during the first 20
days of September Of 107 per cent"
The 1889 monthly increases over
1888, covering sales in the United
States only, were: January, Fl per
cent; February, 43 per cent; March,
So per cent; April, 70 per cent; May,
Sc per cent; June, GO per cent; July,
IS per cent; August, IS per cent; and
the firt 20 days of September, 1O7
per cent.
Sale of trucks to state and federal
government agencies by General Mo
tors is also well above 1888, with an
increase of 80 per cent.
Although the sale Of new trucks has
increased markedly, used truck stocks
on hand are at remarkably low lev
ell, Mr.. Little pointed out. At the
present time such used truck stocks
are only $50 above the correspond
ing period in 1888. They have held
approximately the same number OF
units since April of this year with a
very slight downward trend in the
last month.
