In addition 10 the tabulation OF

Includes a smaller tabulation show
ing total OF over $500, 900 trucks
in operation nationally by model
years.
II is felt that this tabulation is
of particular interest to automo-
bile dealers. service men, manu-
lecturers of parts. equipment and
accessories as well as to the auto
mobile manufacturer and the pub
lie. From a safety standpoint 1t
would reveal the number of old
cars In operation in the various
states and their ages from which
their condition might be judged.
The tabulation reveals that
there are J,568, 900 Ford pas
senger cars In operation to-
day Of which 100000 were
built In 1929 and 100000 prior
10 1929. There are 5,S94,000
Chevrolets In operation of
which $4,000 were built In
1929 and $4,000 prior to
1929. Plymouth, which was
not introduced until 1929, is
third highest with . total Of
2.2SS,000 registrations. Dodge
ranks next with I,S17.OO0
I, while Buick n fourth with
I,21s,0OO.
The listing also shows some i'm
pressive figures for cars stin in
operation which no longer are
produced. For instance, there are
56,s94 Auburns still running, al
though the car has not been built
since 1886. There are $1,000
Willys-Knight cars running al
though that car has not been built
since 1888. Hupmobile still has
1876, 900 cars on the roads.
In addition to the tabulation Of

True. De Soto discovered the
Mississippi in 1871. but Marquette
and Joliet were its first real ex-
plorers. They traced il almost TO
the boundaries OF the old Spanish
dominion in the gulf and from
Indians they obtained a full de-
scription of the river. even to the
