Hoosiers Return From NewYork 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 manufacturersand representatives who attended theNew York show are just returning

from the East, where they remainedin 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 werewell to the forefront of the great dis-play and makers are planning pro-duction increases to meet the spring

demand. Without exception, themanufacturers have voiced enthusi-asm over the business outlook forthe current year, and new forces arebeing added in several Indiana plantsto make ready for the summer trade.

Gold-Plated McFarlanThe displays which the Hoosier

manufacturers will have in Chicago

will largely reflect the New York dis-plays, though some companies intendto show different models. Prominentamong these will be the gold platedMcFarlan Knickerbocker, which hasbeen 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 andretainer rings and hubs, instrumentboard mountings and hundreds oflesser important fittings. This is thefirst gold plated car to be built by

McFarlan which specializes in custom

Jobs and the sum which the ownerwill pay for the car ($25,000) wouldstagger even a Rolls-Royce prospect.

The car was built entirely in the Mc-Farlan factors-, but the plating wasdone 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 willabe seen by the thousands attending"the show

Increases ForecastAn indication of the increase in Hoo-

sier automobile business is containedin 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 lastquarter of 1922. In the period begin-

ning April 1 and extending to July 1the company plans to increase thisamount 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 expected 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 manufacturersat the New York show have evokedno end of comment among purchasers

and attracted great interest amongmanufacturers. Prominent among

these was Cole's reduction from the$2,600 class to the SI,BOO class.

touch with President Charles W.Nash,” said E. C. Howard, vice presi-

dent of the LaFayette Motors Corporatlon.

“The removal from Indianapolis to

Milwaukee did not entail the lost timeand confusion that might be anticipated by ne whose moving experience is confined to the transfer r ’

loaded, shipped to Milwaukee and setup in the-new plan*.

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.
