MOTOR CARS ARE MORE IN DEMAND Prediction That Industry Would Have Reaction Not Borne Out Ever since the automobile industry became one of the leading factors tn the commercial wor.d, predictions have been made that a reaction would take place. Those prognoeticators who had It all figured out that the turning point would come In 1914 or 1915 were aa near to the truth as the positive In dividual who said the war could not last after June. According to John N. Willys, presi dent of the Willys-Overland Company, the stability of the Industry is greater to-da.v than at any time since Its In ception. Any suggestion 'that the growth of the automobile business Is only tem porary." says Mr. Willys, "is not taken seriously by sane thinking people who have watched its growth and develop ment during the past fifteen years. Twice during that time It has passed through national panics without even faltering and Is perhaps the only big industry that has never received a seri ous setback. "The demand for cars is greater to day than ever before In the history of the business. This year the Overland | plant will produce approximately 150,- 000 cars which is more than doufile the ! output of last season. Although we I I ere shipping on an average of 500 cars , I a day the factory finds It necessary to ; work overtime in order to keep pace i | with the orders that are pouring in. , "The big price reductions alone have ; enabled thousands of people to Invest In motorcars who heretofore consld- | ered them beyond their means. The ease with which the modern car Is operated probably accounts for the ; great numbers that are now being sold i to women. "Instead of a luxury onlv indulged ! in by people of wealth the automile has developed Into a practical necessity. This Is particularly true In the vast farming sections of the country. Sta tistics show that the farmers are the largest purchasers of motorcars, yet they are the last people on earth to spend money foolishly. Tliev do not In vest in a car merely for the pleasure that it affords them. On the contrary they consider the pleasure part of it last. The average farmer looks upon the automobile as a time and monev saver that will permit him to ac complish more work in less time than a team of horses. "In the cities the motorcar has be come almost indispensible to doctors and professional men. It enables them to make more calls In a day than thev could In a week If they had to depend on a horse or trolley car as a means of transportation. Salesmen, collec tors. and in fact all out-door business men are using the motorcar to facili tate their work. "Every city and town In the country can boast of its quota of cars, but the present owners constitute only a small proportion of the possible purchasers. This Is evidenced by the fact that dealers are continually oversold no matter how large their allotments from j the factory." Rubber Shown in Excellent Window Displays The window display department of the Goodyear Tiro and Rubber Com pany has been unusually busy of late find the results of this activity are at tracting a great deal of attention. A week ago the display featured a section of the Brazilian Jungle, show ing where and hr.w the rubber trees grow, how the valuable "blood" or latex (crude rubber) is obtained from tht trees, and how crude rubber from various parts of the world looks when it Is ready for shipment. A hie feature of the display was a portrait of Charles Goodyear, who dis covered the method by which crude lubber was made commercially valu able and who opened the way for the enormous development of the rubber industry as it is to-day. This week's display ts based on the premise: "If Charles Goodyear could reutrn." Goodyear died in poverty. The world wasn't ready for him then. But the whole industry as it is now known is largely Ihe result of his dis covery. And so this week's display of the Coodyear Tire and Rubber, installed October 21. is an exposition of the treat variety of articles manufactured by Goodyear-Akron. Some fortv-four window cards, designating different ar ticles. are part of the display, which includes automobile, motorcycle, truck, bicycle and carriage tires and a varied line of mechanical rubber goods, such as hose, belting, packing and molded Koods. The background is still that of the Brazilian jungle scene. Briscoe Will Have New Factory Building Soon Word comes from Jackson, Michi gan, that all arrangements for the building of the new SIOO,OOO local plant of the Briscoe MotoV Company have been concluded and that actual building operations will begin Imme diately. Although the Briscoe Motor Com pany has already leased every avail able plant in Jackson, and is in addi tion, conducting negotiations for the establishment of a Canadian factorv, the growth of the Company's business has been so rapid as to make the new Jackson factory an Immedlae neces sity. The new factory site is located di rectly on the main line of the Michi gan Central Railroad wherebv ideal shipping conditions are afforded for the company's growing production of Briscoe cars. The plans of the builders immediate ly betray the fact that the new Brjs coe plant has b«-en laid out with the broadest conception and with intimate regard to substantiality and future growth. Arrangements will be such that every item used in the construc tion of a "Briscoe" enters on one side In the form of raw material, to leave at the other end, a product finished In every detail and ready for the hands of the motorist. Everything in the plant is to represent the most advanced engineering experience as applied to the manufacture of automobiles Already arrangements are made for the erection of dwellings to house the mechanics who will be added to the company's forces.
