U the information just received by W. A. Russrtl, minjjfr of the local T'prd branch. Thli ivn a produc tion in excess of 1.000,000 for the cal )fr the 5,000,000 mark having been achieved en May 2A, 1921. "Of thil staggering total of 6.000,. 000 cart and trucks, 5.517,956 have bren delivered to purchaert in the United Statet alone and the inon're ccnt tatiitic shew that 4.478,248 of Ihit number are till in daily service. When eonmderation ia given to the fact that the present type motor hat been in production for 14 year, and that four out of every five Ford ars and truck during (hi period are Hill in actual daily service, the popular conception of the long life of Ford can it tubitantially borne out. ! Nearly 5.000 Per Day. ' Daily production at the Ford Mo tor company it now rloie to 5,000 Cart the record one-day outplit of 4.HS having been achieved en May 16, and on the previous working day in May, 4,862 cart were completed. 1 May production v. ill total 130,000 and the estimated output for June hai already been raised to 140,000. which ii the greatest production output for a aingle month ever aimed at by 10,- UWI. The distribution of Ford can and tracks throughout the conutry is about evenly distributed in relation to population in everv state.

Ford for Five Families. : The total of .approximately 4.500, 1)00 Ford can in daily service means 'that there is a Ford for every five . iamilies in the United States. Ford dealers have asked for a total of 194,750 Ford cars and trucks to meet their June requirements. Every effort is being made at the Ford fac tories to take care of this enormous volume of business which is far in excess of any demand ever before ex perienced by the company. During the past several months safes have been steadily increasing and the present demand is growing i a raie in excess oi ine auiiuy oi inc manufacturing company, to meet .the shipping requirements. , Paige 646 Is Third . in Quality Market Recent records show that the rigf has attained third pdQion among rar that occupy the "ouahiy' field. The 6 -6 line ha won this h gh place in the market where can ell for moie than $2,000 in little over year i urn and hat shot pan to score make that have been oc cupying their place high among the lealer for number of year. "There are tome 43 well-known companies offering cart luting for ccr K.0O0." say Harry M. Jewett. president of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company. "Taking raige 6-66 sale alone and comparing them, we f nd but to that top the Paige 6-o6 ime in volume of sales, sloth are famous makri with 20 years' prestige behind them; and the one that crowded u out of second place in the tine car field did to ry tent and not hundred. "So market it more desirable than the quality market. None is more difficult to secure. Sales in this market depend on prestige and pres tige it believed to be a matter of 10 or 20 year growth. A we have been offering in the class above $2,000 for only little more than a year, we are particularly 'gratified with the record the 6-66 line it mak ing and the prompt manner in which it ha firmly entrenched itself in the quality market of America." Changstrom Also to Handle Velie New Model Equipped With Overhead Valve Motor Body Lines Are Graceful. Hudson Producing .ManyClosed Cars l . ' ': Growth of This Business in ;Five Years One of Features of Automobile Industry. ' .. Automobile manufacturers tare agreed that the tremendous increase , in- proportion of closed cars made since 1916 has been one of the out Standing features of the automotive business during that period. In that (year, 1.5 per cent of all motor cars made in the United States was closed cars. This proportion has risen rap idly each year since, reaching S5 per cent in 1921, and is still grow . ine at a phenomenal rate. - - ,'.The Hudson Motor Car company, .always among the leaders in. pro portion of closed car sales, due, to its pioneering in this line, probably taps all manufacturers today, its of ficers say. Fifty-five percent of its entire output since January 1 has been closed cars, it announces. 1 , Think Essex It Second. 'J- Essex; Motors is believed to be in second place in this respect. Slightly wore than half of the Essex ouptut since the year started has been in cat of this type.. i Both companies state that the pro portion of this business is contiuing at approximately the same rate, even with summer at hand. In fact, it is quite certain, they declare, that when production totals for May are compiled, it. will be found that the Closed car business for that month was even higher than the yearly av erage to date. Jt is believed that each company's proportion will mount even higher during the re mainder of the year, since closed car business is always heavy ,in the fall. 4 ; ' ,i Coach Type Helped. : In 1921 31 per cent of Hudson's entire manufacture and 19 per cent of the Essex output was in closed tars. Decision to build the new coach type and the ability of each concern through volume sales to of ler this model at but little more than an open cir price, are generally ac cepted as the reasons for the remark able gain each has made. Orders ' for these types continue to pour into the factory in undiminished number, it-is reported. . ' The great demand for dlosed cars has. however, curtailed production for all manufacturers and has resulted in makinar the country-wide shortage of both Hudson and Essex cars even ,more acute, the companies announce. This is so because of the greater time necessary to produce - closed . car bodies. Hudson and Essex have thousands of unfilled orders on their books today, the company's state ment reads. two Trainloads of Overland Jx- Autos, Ordered for Omaha Two trainloads of Overland and Willys-Knight automobiles have been ordered for the Omaha territory alone, according to F. H. Wight, local retail sales manager, who re cently returned from a sales conven tion at the Willys Overland factory in Toledo.' ' "ot only Omaha, but the entire United States has been calling for more Overlands and Willys-Knight cars." said Mr. Wight "It is easy to see where the 700-car daily out put of the Toledo factory is going. We feel grateful, in view of this large demand, for the allotment of several jearloaqV to- be .shipped immediately to Omaaa to help care for the large cumber of orders bow on hand." t i Announcement wat made yester day that Carl Changstrom of the Changstrom Motor company had taken on the Velie line in connection with the Westcott. Changstrom has handled the Westcott for several years and feels that the new Velie line will give him a variety which will satisfy the demands of most motor ists who are seeking a dependable car at a moderate price. This year the Velie factory ts con centrating its efforts in the building of one model. Heretofore the Velie factory has built cars ranging from small to heavy. 1 he new Velie model ts very snap' py, both from appearance and per formance standpoint It is equipped with an overhead valve motor built in the Velie factory. In addition to being a very peppy . motor, it is probably as accessible as any motor built, and the designers claim that it will stand up under the most strenu ous driving. The lines of the new car are graceful in every respect and, although the machine is roomy it has the appearance of being small with a low center of gravity. The? price of the new Velie touring car is $1,395, factory, which makes the delivery price approximately $1,495 delivered in Omaha. The en closed models are slightly higher in price. : - . Cadillac Sales Exceed Those of Last Year "On May 20 we had received from the factory and delivered for the year of 1922, as many Cadillac cars as we did in the entire year of 1921." said I. H. Hansen of the H. Hansen Cadillac company if Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City. "A letter which I received this week from Mr. H. H. Rice, president of the Cadillac Motor Car company, said Cadillac sales for the current year up to May 1 were two and a half times the volume for the cor responding period of last year and that March and April were two of the largest selling months Cadillac ever experienced. Sales each month since the new type 61 was announced have steadily increased. The new Cadillac plant has made possible this large produc tion. The company feels that the type 61, from the standpoint of style, comfort and mechanical . excellence, is the most successful type in its history. The forecast for the balance of the current year indicates that Cadil lac sales from our Omaha. Lincoln and .Sioux City offices will, exceed 11 previous records of our conv pany, concluded Mr. Hansen. (Adoption of a system of uniform highway marking throughout New England is to be undertaken this season, and it is expected that the plan will be, extended to cover the whole Unued states. It will dis place the present varied1 system of color bands and other signs in the different states, so that the motorists traveling through a number of states will not be confused in keeping to the right road. .
