AS IT HAS FROM THE THAT lIUSTRY jeE; IT HAS A - There Are More Than 1000 People Who Labor at Tasks-That With the Industry, and More Than 5000 People Dependent Upon the Industry Here In a Little Over Twenty People in This Industry Salem has been growing and 'in creasing her -lead during the past year as the outstanding automo tive industry center of Oregon, outside of Portland. The growth of this! industry here has been wonderful. It will not stop. 1 Many' people here-who are! yet young in both years and feelings 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 lum bering taxi pattern that would look ery odd today. , , Only just a few years ago, all he gasoline and oil delivered in Salem were taken around Jby one man with his team of two old horses, i Now the five big oil com panies operating here employ 77 men, and they use many tank trucks and cover a wide territory. besides 'serving their Salem cus tomers, i - .n : Growth Is Steady The Slogan editor of The States man two years ago made a resume of the automotive Industry of Salem.- He found 94 private individ uals and firms In business em ploying ;449 people. lie found last year 110 such individuals and concerns, and they were employ-j ing' 532; people.. This year ho finds 137 such individuals and concerns, and they are employing 610 people. .- . L Add to these 125 or more In the state highway department, shops and testing laboratory. Add 88 the 50 to 75 or more in the automobile and traffic depart ments working .under the secre tary of state. . Add 88 the 50 or 73 employees working in connection with the 9ft stages coming into and going out of the Salem Terminal station. Add the 5 to 15 county employes reporting at the Marion county re pair shops. Add the 77 employees of the big oil companies. Make a total of the above, and you have a total of 903 people. nd that is not all, : There are more than 1,060 peo ple in &alem, 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 var ious phases. - For instance, there may be add ed to those -mentioned above the 4 0 men ! who are connected with the Willamette Valley Transfer company, with headquarters in Sa lem, and making Portland and all the valley towns on both sides of the. river, as far south as Eugene, They have 30 freight trucks, most ly mammoth freight haulers, and 10 trailers. In their offices and freight house on Front street , in Salem they employ on an average about 10 people. The Valley Packing company, the very successful meat packing concern here, makes many ot its deliveries with seven' trucks and four salesman's cars. 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. -; - The state institutions all employ automobiles and trucks. ' There are numerous firms and persons that have not been listed above employing autos and trucks for deliveries and in various other ways; numerous tails' . . And. in short, 1000 Is too low an 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 T-aper mill, using numerous trucks ln pulp wood deliveries and In other ways. The local reader can recall many others. Million and naif and More Count ; the wages of all these people and the earnings of the pro prietors figured as wages, at $5 a day. This Is conservative, for many schedules o the high class Years We Have Come to Employ About a Fifth of Our mechanics and others run much higher. Multiply this $5000 a day by the 312 working days in the year, and yon have over $1,560,- 000 a year. That is a most conservative fig ure for the direct income of Sa lem from the automotive industry for a year, on the present basis And indirect benefits are many; they are felt in a thousand ways And the industry is growing in all its branches, and will continue to grow throughout the years. with -the increasing length ot paved highways centering in Sa lem; with the , growth of popula tion and business In every direc tion. Over ."WXX) lcopl Represented These more than 1000 people make up.with their families, count ing five for each worker or man ager or proprietor, more tnan 5000 of the population of Salem and its immediate suburbs say a fifth ot our total population. counting what , is termed in the east our metropolitan district, in cluding our immediate suburbs, such as West Salem and districts north, south and east outside of our corporate limits. Take away those over 5000 peo ple, and Salem would feel the loss keenly. Put them together In. a city by themselves and they would make a. lively and progressive city. A Creditable Showing m ' The automotive industry of Sa lem makes a creditable showing fcr Itself. The working forces are competent. They can repair or rebuild any car of any make. They can make tne mosi aencaie-adjustments. They keep on hand parts' and supplies covering - the whole ranse. from the smallest roadster to the largest and finest car. and for tractors" and trucks and all the rest.
