YEAR'S OUTLOOK
BRIGHTER SAYS
BUIGK OFFICIAL
' lly E. T. Ktroiijj,
President. .Hutck Motur Company.
Although tho inilUHtrial horizon
at thin moment is nomowhut ob
Bcitro there Is more thun a little
evidence that Indicates a prumis
triff outlook for tlie new year. tVr
tiitnly tho automotive Imlu.stry has
a better perspective of its sur
roundings and the roud ahead than
it had at this time last year.
While it is beyond the ability of
any individual to accurately fore
cast the future, especially In the
field of modern competitive busi
ness, yet we know from past ex
perience that certain signs mean
certain definite turns In the road
ahead. And as the year develops
v,e will find, 1 believe, more and
more of these algns indicating an
up-turn.
The uutomoblle has become a
fundamental necessity in this
country. It ranks with food, shel
ter and clothing. When it is ex
pended It must be replaced, just
as we replace un outworn suit of
rlothes with u new one.

major factor in automobile inei - j
chandising. I
. For the past fifteen months tho !
motoring public has been wearing
out automobiles faster than it has
been replacing them. There are
hundreds of thousands of cars on
tho highways today that have out-!
worn their usefulness, that are no
longer economical to operate and
constitute a possible hazard to
other vehicles.
This can have but one result
.with tho improvement in general
business conditions, the automotive
industry will probably face a tre
mendous demand for new cars.
.- The American Automobile Assn.
recontly made an exclusively!
nuryey pf tho 23.000,000 automo- ,
biles that ore operated on our
highways today, and. from this
Hurvey,. ' estimated that approxi
mately S, 000, 000 of these curs are
outworn.
Sooner or later, this demand
must make itself felt and, since it
la Increasing, every day, it is rea
sonable to assume that' the sup
pression of automobile buying can
not be sustained much longer. Act
ual need for new transportation, if
no other reason and there are
many- apparent other reasons
should improve tho automobile
markot within the very near fu
ture. .
. That there Is money available
for hew cars" is evidenced by the
fact that the total savings deposits
in this country at close of the last
fiscal year stood at about 528,485,
000,000 made up by approximately
62,76t)9,000 depositors.
. Considering these figures in
' their relation to the 8.000,000 worn
out cats that nro still in service,
tho automobile industry finds one
'of the signs pointing to an upturn
within the coming year. And, since
the automobile industry is one of
the keystones in our national oco-1
nomic structure, every increase in
Hs activities will be profitably re
flected in other lines of business.
There is no reliable way of fig
uring export sales, but these will,
no doubt, add substantially to tho
total production of the coming
twelve months.
The automobile Industry itself
has contributed much this year
toward increasing a demand for
now cars by offering the public
the biggest dollar's worth of auto
mobile value it has ever received.
This is true of our company, and
undoubtedly true of many others.
One of the most definite impres
sions the observant visitor gathers
at this 1931 automobile show is an
Impression of value; a realization
that the motor car of litis year is
Incomparably better than the auto
mobile of any preceding year.
There are many sound reasons
for tho increased value of the
automobile dollar this year. The
first, of course, Is tho naturally
prugrcsaivo spirit of tho industry;
its employment of scientists, chem
ists, metallurgists and research en
gineers who are on tho payrolls for
the sole purposo of devising ways
and means to build hotter automo
biles.
But, In addition to tho successful
efforts of theso men. Micro nro
other factors that have played a
major part In adding moro cents
io tho automobile dollar.
? The reduced tempo of business
during tho past year has given the
Industry .timo to stop and take
stock; it has permitted a weeding
out of everything that was not
essential to the economical pro
duction of good automobiles with a
consequent saving that Is reflected
In tho better cars displayed at this
year's show. And a readjustment
of distribution and sales methods
contributed additional savings that
have been passed on to tho car
buyer.
Tho new Bulck straight eight
has hold 40 to 60 per cent of Its
prlco class business sinco it was
introduced, and wo enter the ,new
year confident of maintaining this
leadership In an increasingly ac
tive market.

resulted In a more stylish tailoring

In addition to tho new tread pro- i
