Records Broken in Production i of Automobiles Factories in Detroit Swamped With Orders—Cars Driven Miles to Agencies—Ford Shatters Own Record. By tnirrrusl Service. Detroit. March 24.—The name "mo tor city” win never more properly applied to Detroit than at this moment, when Detroit automobile factories are turning out automobiles at the fastest clip in the history of motor vehicle production. Startling as was the production rate one week ago, floods of orders have stepped j the output up stiil another notch, i until there is not a single plant in 1 Detroit not derating at capacity. With the close of the. Boston and Indianapolis shows March 17, con eluding the 1023 automobile show sea son, ail Detroit plant executives have , returned and are devoting every effort , to push pro luction to the utmost. ] Practically every plant is behind on, orders while new demands for cars pour in. Lack of adequate rail facilities still hamper delivery of cars, drive-aways taking care of from 15 to 20 per cent of deliveries. Cars are being driven from Detroit as far as 1.000 miles. ‘ Cars are going over the road every | day to Chicago, Cleveland. Toledo and j other prominent points of similar dis tances from Detioit. With the open ing of navigation in a few' weeks another channel of delivery will be uvailr.ble. Price Hike Anticipated. Humors of price increases persist in motor circles. Rising costs of | materials and manufacturing coupled ’’with a scarcity of skilled labor to meet current requirements are given as reasons why an advance may be I necessary. Charles D. Hastings, president of I IIupp, put an end to the rumor ns* far as IIupp was concerned with the j staterjirnit that "no increase in price i is being considered at the present j time.” He further denied that any increase had been made recently as was re ported last week in financial circles. Hupp shipped 2,500 cars during the first half of the month, the greatest shipping ratio in the history of the company. Ford smashed every daily production record on Tuesday when 6.811 cars | and trucks were made In a single day. Monday's output totalled 5.759 ve hicles. Production for the sveek was 33,718, also a new record for one week. Ford is .making 6,200 motors daily. Beginning April 1, the Ford schedule calls for a, daily output of 6,385 cars. Foreign sales of the com pany for the first two months of the! present year were 100 per cent greater than during the same period last year. The figures are 21.113. To Sue Iron Ore. Ford has begun the construction of * a $200,000 sintering plant at the River ; Rouge factory to be completed early ! this summer. This will effect a good savings of tons of iron ore which at \ present escapes in powdered form from the blast furnaces. Last week was an epoch-making one for Buick when the company turned out its millionth car. This feat was especially remarkable in the light of the fact that Buick is the first of the large car manufacturers to achieve the distinction. Ford and Chevrolet hav-1 lng been the only ones to duplicate, the feat of producing a million cars. - K. T. Strong, who is directing the' sales activities of the car. has sold mare than 730,000 of the million. Buick is running at capacity or at the rate of 200,000 cars for the year. Rickenbarker production schedule for March calls for an output of 1, 000 cars. This will be increased In April to 1.230. Paige Jewell estab lished a new high record for daily shipments Monday when 270 cars left the plant. ISew Ordinance Regulating Milk Shops to Be Offered An amended ordinance, affecting production and distribution of dairy j products, will be presented to the city council next Tuesday morning by Mayor Dahlman. now' bead of the j health department. A feature of the ordinance requires that buttermilk sold in public places must be handled In glass containers proiierly sealed, instead of In cans or large containers. This will make the tegulations of the sale of buttermilk 1 the same as those now relating to! milk and cream. Consumers will be required lo clean 1 bottles and cans Immediately after; they are emptied and not to use them for any purpose other than to contain i tntlk or milk products. Dairies selling raw milk must score not less than 68 per cent, according to th* government standards of scoring.
