Show MOTOR OUTPUT : IS DEVELOPED Expect Increased Sales for Trucks and Cars Next Year NEW YORK, Dec. 9. "The demand de-mand for individual motor transportation transpor-tation continues at a record pace," said Alfred Reeves, general manager of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, on his return last week from a lslt to a number of motor car t.n.1 nnln t r-i,Lr r.1nrlc In I'llilo In. liana, Illinois and Miciiig.n. "October "Octo-ber and November Supplied bigger ' shipments than ever Were recorded for the same period of any previous year. "The .same need for motor vehicles which created a record output of , 2, 400. 000 unita in 1922, or 10 per cent l tti r than the previous hlgli mane ..r 1920, will be u keenly felt in 192.:. Further, in 1923 more persons will bc able to purchase the needed transportation trans-portation because farming conditions will be better, exports are already-showing already-showing a turn upward, and the losed car output, which was only 10 per cent of the total In 1M9. Is running SS high as 26 to 3u per cent today. i "In fact, the difficulty of getting enough closed bodies to meet the demand de-mand will be one of the limiting factors fac-tors ln 1923 It Is true that theiYe are many In the market who prefer th open type of vehhle. but the trnJ of favor Is toward the enclosed models. "The continued growth and record Output of the Industry In 1922, which has astounded some, may be accounted account-ed for by tho fact that motor transport trans-port metis a fundamental human used for individual means of travel, and , by the fact that manufacturers read- j Justed prices promptly and directly, to tho ultimate consumer, so that mo-tor mo-tor vehicle values today are tho bedt that have ever been offered. "Motor truck makers are expecting a better outlook for 1923. With lm-i ir.v 1 I u-:ln sm f on.llMon-i there will be greater movement of freight and ' consequent demand for motor trucks' In the short haul field." -A. X |
