Production and sales of Olds
mobiles during . March totalled
nearly three time ;tshe record for
January, according to official re
ports from Olds Motor Works,
Lansing, Miehigrani Preparations
are' under way for a still' greater
prodnctios during ! the present
niaiith of (April. j
For some time j past the Olds
.Motor works! has 'been working
on a system whereby production
1? fixed according to actual orders
received.- ,For this reason factory
production and actual sales fig
ures are on the same level.
This system also has practically
eliminated the former practice o
dealers carrying ; large i stocks- of
cars at this - reason " of " the year
and for this reason a continued
gain in production from month to
month Is anticipated. '
T'The February business this year
showed ? and, ! Increase of 75 per
cent" oyer that of January, while
the gain for Alarch -was '57 -per
cent: over February. Production
plans for April call fo r a50 - per
cent increase over March, with-a
gradual monthly rise into the
Eiimmer. -. . .
'. i Dusiness since : January 1 this
Pa' iias-kept pace - with- 1924
the biggesti year Oldsmobile
ever experienced In Its 28 years
of manufacturing history. Olds-
mobile's total gain for last year
over 1923 jwas 30 per' cent, and
this In spite of the -fact that the
automobile ' industry as a whole,
showed a falling off of 10 per
cent. ' " J
i The demand for closed cars
continues strong, though this is
usually the big season for open
cars. The j Oldsmobile coach is
consistently maintaining its place
a tshe most popular model, about
40 -per cent of the entire produc
tion of the factory at this time
being coaehes. - :,. f;
