Operations during the next eight months, the paper says, will be at levels ranging upward from 25 per cent above those of the last two months. "The leanest period o'l probably considerably more than a decade is declared to be definitely passed," the paper says, giving leaders of the au tomobile business, hankers, econo mists and business men of othei lines as its authority. "For Immediate needs the automo bile Industry will have to produce at least 2(io,ooft cars between now and the opening of the National Automo bile Show In New York, January 9," the paper says.
