1922 Sales of Autos
May Set New Record
Striking statements, prophetic of
the future of the automobile industry
are included in an announcement just
made in the Jordan organization by
Edward S. Jordan. ,
Sale of motor cars m 922 will
exceed all prcviou records," said
Jordan.
"While conservative estunaters
figure that the total production will
be about 1,81)0.000 car, or 100,000
short of the 19J0 peak, it U our idea
that the figures for 19-t) will be
exceeded before the year is out.
Sales, however, will be concentrated
on fewer lines, as competition in the
various price classes is becoming
very keen.
"Those companies who have main
tained a definite policy of building
single models with a strong leaning
toward economy and light weight
without shifting to meet passing
currents of public demand, will be
most successful.
