Show 1913 PROMISES ' BIG AUTO YEAR That the automobile season of 1913, now at Its very Inception, gives promise prom-ise of being a veritable whirlpool of sales of better grade cars Is the belief that the best established automobile factories arot basing their output on. W. B. Cochran received advices yesterday yes-terday from Kokomo, Ind., wherein Elwood Haynes, who Is frequently characterized as tho "dean of the Industry," In-dustry," Is put on record as saying he only hopes to bo able to build enough cars to fill the dealers' orders this season. From the tonor of the communication Cochran infers that, the allotments already solicited by Haynes distributors will consume tho entire factory output, and small encouragement encourage-ment will be given the seeker for extra ex-tra shipments at the latter end of the ueason. "Notwithstanding that tho Industry Is in its twontieth year." says Cochran, Coch-ran, "it Is facing a larger market for cars than over. Tho tondqney of the times appears to be for the better grade cars; furthermore, the factories aro rapidly realizing that the public demands the finished Job. By that I mean that the car of the 1D13 season must havo all of tho conveniences that have passed the stago where they were considered luxuries, to the point where thoy arc actual necessities for the motorist's comfort. |
