Jobbers Down

Checking on parts inventories
and sales by jobberS, the survey
showed that parts inventories
have not increased for them in
the same degree as evidenced
by the survey of dealers and
distributors. At the time of the
first survey, made in 1912, the
parts iobbcrS had considerably
greater stocks than distributors,
which may, is said, account for
similar increases at the time OF
the present survey.
Among group of western
automobile dealers of all makes
of cars. parts inventories showed
substantial increases in dollar
volume over I943. At the same
time. the dealers reported
greater demands for parts and
inventories were faster in turn
over in Western Michigan than
in the Detroit area.

Further Drop
In Output Due
Nv LEWIS H.ANEY


The weekly indexes of average
production showed a clear down.
ward tendency last week. 1t should
be noted that most of the latest
figures were affected by the long
holiday weekend embracing July
(. but even so il must be admitted
that the declines were more than
usual and the rebounds in the
following week were somewhat
Disappointing. The situation is
affected by the current uncer-
tainty as TO the duration of the
war and the time when civilian
production will be increased.
At the moment, il seems an
likely that reconverSion will be
begun on any very important scale
in the near future. But cutbacks
in war production have been made
here and there, and the weekly
war spending figures continue TO
recede. Industrial production eSti-
mates may, therefore, be expected
TO go bit lower.
The latest car loading figure
was off more than seaSonally. A
sharp drop in electric power pro-
duction occurred. The lumber and
paper figures point downward.

Fast turnover

A group of truck dealers and
distributors reflected the in
creasing maintenance require
ments on trucks. many of which
have run several hundred thou
sand miles since manufacture.
Parts inventories were slightly
higher in dollar volume this year
than last but were, on the whole,
having a turnover approximately
every one and a half months.
Information secured in the
survey has been relayed by the
regional WPB office to the auto
motive division, Washington, for
aiding in shaping future policy
on replacement parts and inven-
tories.

60-Day Inventories

The survey showed that the
majority Of the dealers were OPP
Grating with less than 60-day
turnover in parts inventory. All
are on a fluid basis. some oper-
ating with even a 30-day inven-
tory but sales rising steadily.
"The inventory and sales
show how beneficial the increase
in parts production In the past
year has been to each dealer"
Walter +. Wright, deputy re-
gional director of the automo-
tive division. pointed out.
