O . Xt/, xuaU mu SENDS GOLD-PLATED CAI TO CHICAGO SHOW Knickerbocker Model is Sold to Chicago Man for $25,000, DELIVERY FOLLOWS SHOW Hoosiers Return From New York Well Pleased With Prospects, Now th.it the National Automobile Show for 1923 for New York City has passed into history, all enthusiasts ¦.re turning: toward Chicago where the next large exposition is to be held the last week of this month. Many of the Indiana manufacturers and representatives who attended the New York show are just returning from the East, where they remained in the interest of sales and exten- sion as the result of the show. Dispatches from New York corrob- orate the reports carried back by i Hoosiers that Indiana products were well to the forefront of the great dis- play and makers are planning pro- duction increases to meet the spring demand. Without exception, the manufacturers have voiced enthusi- asm over the business outlook for the current year, and new forces are being added in several Indiana plants to make ready for the summer trade. Gold-Plated McFarlan The displays which the Hoosier manufacturers will have in Chicago will largely reflect the New York dis- plays, though some companies intend to show different models. Prominent among these will be the gold plated McFarlan Knickerbocker, which has been sold to a Chicago man who de- clines to submit his name for publi- cation until after the Chicago show. Thus Knickerbocker, built by the McFarland Motor Corporation of Con- nersville, has 1,488 gold plated parts, including the radiator, windshield, headlamps, disteel wheel mounting and retainer rings and hubs, instrument board mountings and hundreds of lesser important fittings. This is the first gold plated car to be built by McFarlan which specializes in custom Jobs and the sum which the owner will pay for the car ($25,000) would stagger even a Rolls-Royce prospect. The car was built entirely in the Mc- Farlan factors-, but the plating was done by an outside firm, as the Mc- Farlan factory has no plating facili- ties. The car was shipped to Chicago the early part of the week and will abe seen by the thousands attending "the show Increases Forecast An indication of the increase in Hoo- sier automobile business is contained in a Wall St. dispatch concerning the 1923 plans of the Studebaker, which is planning to build 35,000 cars in the flfst three months of this year, as compared with 22,000, in the last quarter of 1922. In the period begin- ning April 1 and extending to July 1 the company plans to increase this amount to 37.250. Other companies, like Studebaker, are revising produc- tion and shipping specifications to ac- commodate increases while the Ford Motor Company of Detroit is sending publicity to its dealers and distribu- tors urging upon them the necessity of anticipating their spring require- ments in .order to forestall an ex pected shortage In the selling season. The Ford company's production In December of 1922 was 105,779 as com- pared with 50,203 for the same month of 1921. The several price reductions an- nounced by Indiana manufacturers at the New York show have evoked no end of comment among purchasers and attracted great interest among manufacturers. Prominent among these was Cole's reduction from the $2,600 class to the SI,BOO class. WAINWRIGHT CHOSEN FOR NATIONAL OFFICE ljocal Executive Re-Elected Treasurer for Fifteenth Time. ft L. M.

WIFE CAUSE OF ARREST McKensie Cahill. 25, of 209 N. Suin mit Ave., today was schedule! to be tried in city court on charges of drunkenness, carrying concealed weapons and disorderly conduct. He was arrested Thursnay night after police said they were told by his wife, Mary, that he threatened to kill her. Judge Alton B. Parker, 71, un- successful candidate for the presl deney in 1904, has surprised his friends with the announcement of his marriage to Amelia Day Camp- bell, 51, of New York City. Their romance began at patriotic society meeting. They will honeymoon in Bermuda. Auto Leads Procession in Industrial March Alton G. Seiberling, vice president and general manager of the Haynes Automobile Company of Kokomo, in an address in New York during the automobile show, gave the following figures to show the importance and relative growth of the automobile in- dustry: The value of the 1922 automobile output has been placed at ?1,350,000,- 000. Add the tire business, estimated at $675,000,000; the replacement parts business, $650,000,000, and the accessories, amounting to $150,000,- 000, and a total of $2,725,000,000 is received. This total is 33 per cent greater than the second largest in- dustry. the refining of petroleum. And even the. second largest industry owes its prosperity to the automobile, for 65 per cent of all the petroleum is absorbed by the automobile. total of $2,725,000,000 is 65 per cent greater than the value of the iron and steel output, once king of all Indus- tries. and more than twice the value of all cotton goods nroduced in the textile mills of the country. Eighty-one per the 600,000,- 000 pounds of crude rubber shipped into the United States annually is re- quired for automobile tires. Approxi- mately 75,000 bales of Egyptian type, long staple cotton will be grown in the United States and 400,000 bales will be imported from Egypt, of which 38 per cent, or 180,00 bales, will also be used in automobile tires. Plate glass production this year should total about 68,000,000 square feet. The automobile will tako one- third of this. The oil refineries are expected to produce 5,400,000,000 gal- lons of gasoline this year. The au- tomobile will absorb 4,320,000,000 gal- lons or 80 per cent, while 40 per cent of the lubricating oil refined in this country will go to the automobile. Consider the thousands who owe their livelihood to the automobile—- a vast army whose numbers have never been approached by any other Industry. There are 727,000 wage earners In production, sales and serv- ice work whose income is derived di- rectly from the automobile industry. Add to this 935,000 other wage earners who derive their income indirectly from the motor industry, including the drivers, the chauffeurs and work- ers in industries supplying raw ma- terials to manufacturers of automo- bile products. Altogether the automo- bile industry directly and indirectly, affects the employment of 1.6G2.000 wage-earners. Thus do cold statistics prove that the automobile hap sped civilization on at its greatest speed—the automo- bile which has become the monarch of transportation. The automobile, basing the number of passengers car- ried in each machine at two. is credit- ed with 114,000.000,000 passenger- miles this year, while the railroads for the same time trail with only 47,000,000,000 passenger-miles.

Auto Leads Processionin Industrial March
Alton G. Seiberling, vice president
and general manager of the Haynes
Automobile Company of Kokomo, inan address in New York during the
automobile show, gave the followingfigures to show the importance andrelative growth of the automobile in-dustry:
The value of the 1922 automobileoutput has been placed at ?1,350,000,-
000. Add the tire business, estimatedat $675,000,000; the replacementparts business, $650,000,000, and theaccessories, amounting to $150,000,-000, and a total of $2,725,000,000 isreceived. This total is 33 per centgreater than the second largest in-dustry. the refining of petroleum. Andeven the. second largest industry owesits prosperity to the automobile, for65 per cent of all the petroleum isabsorbed by the automobile.total of $2,725,000,000 is 65 per centgreater than the value of the iron andsteel output, once king of all Indus-tries. and more than twice the valueof all cotton goods nroduced in thetextile mills of the country.
Eighty-one per the 600,000,-000 pounds of crude rubber shipped
into the United States annually is re-quired for automobile tires. Approxi-mately 75,000 bales of Egyptian
type, long staple cotton will be grownin the United States and 400,000 baleswill be imported from Egypt, ofwhich 38 per cent, or 180,00 bales,will also be used in automobile tires.
Plate glass production this yearshould total about 68,000,000 squarefeet. The automobile will tako one-third of this. The oil refineries are
expected to produce 5,400,000,000 gal-
lons of gasoline this year. The au-tomobile will absorb 4,320,000,000 gal-
lons or 80 per cent, while 40 per centof the lubricating oil refined in thiscountry will go to the automobile.
Consider the thousands who owetheir livelihood to the automobile—-a vast army whose numbers havenever been approached by any otherIndustry. There are 727,000 wageearners In production, sales and serv-ice work whose income is derived di-rectly from the automobile industry.Add to this 935,000 other wage earners
who derive their income indirectlyfrom the motor industry, including
the drivers, the chauffeurs and work-ers in industries supplying raw ma-
terials to manufacturers of automo-bile products. Altogether the automo-bile industry directly and indirectly,
affects the employment of 1.6G2.000wage-earners.
Thus do cold statistics prove thatthe automobile hap sped civilizationon at its greatest speed—the automo-
bile which has become the monarchof transportation. The automobile,basing the number of passengers car-
ried in each machine at two. is credit-ed with 114,000.000,000 passenger-
miles this year, while the railroadsfor the same time trail with only
47,000,000,000 passenger-miles.
