THE AUTOMOTIVE WnV OF SHE
BE BETTER THAN A MILLION AND A HALf
AlUniUALLY
There Are at Least 1000 People Who Labor at Tasks That Are Directly Connected With
the Industry, and 5000 People Dependent Upon the Industry The First Automo
bile Came to Salem a Little Cver Twenty Years Ago, and Now Something Like a
Fifth of the Population in Salem and Suburbs Depend on the Industry
j Salem has become the outstand
ing automotive industry center of
Oregon, outside of Portland; and
wonderful has been its growth; in
the past few years. -
i Many people here'who are yet
young in both years and feeling
remember well the first automo
bile In Salem. It arrived only a
little oyer 20 years ' ago. There
were no automobiles worth men
tioning in 1900, west of New
York, and only a few. there, of
the lumbering, taxi pattern that
would look very odd today, i
Only just a few years ago, all
the gasoline and oil delivered in
Salem were taken around by one
man with his team of . two old
horses. Now the four big oil com
panies operating here employ 78
men, and theyi use many tank
trucks and cove J a wide territory,
besides serving Jtheir Salem cus
tomers. "; ; ' 'v ' . '
Growth Throughout Industry
The ; Slogan j editor 1 of The
Statesman two j years ago made
a resume of the ; automotive in
dustry of Salem. He found 75
private individuals and firms In
business, employing 363 people.
He finds this year 94 such indi
viduals and concerns, and they
are employing 4 49 people.
Add to these 123 in the state
highway department, shops and
testing laboratory.
'Add the 67 in the automobile
and traffic departments working
under the secretary pf state.
Add the 48 employees working
in connection with the 84 stages
coming into and going out 'of the
Salem .Terminal station. ,
Add the 15 county employees
reporting at the Marion county re
pair shops. i : n

This campaign of publicity for community upbuilding has been made
possible by the advertisements placed on these pages by our public
spirited business men men whose untiring efforts have builded our
present recognized prosperity and who are ever striving for greater and
yet greater progress as the years go by. r
M HAS GROWN TO
IN WAGES AND EARNINGS OF THE WORKERS
Add the 7S employees of the big
oil companies.
. Make a total of the above, and
you have 780 people. I
And that is not all.
There are more than 1,000 peo
ple in Salem, and coming in and
going out of' Salem, and having
their homes here, or taking most
of their meals, here, who are em-
ployed in one way or another in
the automotive industry in its
various. phases. v i .
For instance, there may be add
ed to the 780 mentioned above
the 40 men who are connected
with the Willamette Valley
Transfer company, with head
quarters .in Salem, and making
Portland and all the valley towns
on both sides of the river aa far
south as Eugene. They have; 30
freight trucks, mostly mammoth
freight haulers, and 10 trailers.
In their offices and freight house
on Front street in Salem they em
ploy about 10 people.
The Valley Packing company,
the very successful packing con
cern here, makes many' of its de
liveries with trucks, employing
five trucks and a Dodge commer
cial car.'":: " ; " I
The wholesale grocery concern,
the Willamette Grocery company,
uses a number of trucks in mak
ing deliveries all over the valley.
All of the canneries and fruit
handling concerns employ auto
mobiles and trucks in carrying on
their work. : I "
The state institutions all em
ploy automobiles and trucks. :
1 There are numerous firms and
persons that have not been listed
above employing autos and trucks
for deliveries and in various other
ways; numerous taxis
I , And, in short, 1000 Is, a modest
estimate of the number of people
employed in and about Salem in
the automotive industry. You
could add all the bakeries to the
list, and all the gravel concerns,
with many autos and trucks, and
the paper mill. usJng numerous
trucks in- pulp w!bod dejiveries
and in other ways. The local
reader can recall many others.
Million and Half and More
Count the wages of. al these
people, and the earnings of : the
proprietors figured as wages, at
$5 a- day. That is conservative,
for ma"ny schedules of the high
class mechanics and others run
much higher. Multiply this $5000
a day by the 312 working days
in the year, and you have $1,
560.000 a year.
That is a conservative figure
for the direct income of Salem
from the automotive Industry for
a year, on the present basis -
And the indirect benefits are
many; they are felt in a thousand
ways -
And the industry Is growing in
all its branches, and will con

with their families, counting five
for each worker or manager or

A Creditable Showing

whole range, from the smallest
roadster to the largest and finest
