ta. mnuh ? has been written ,relative f
to t , develeopmnt of. the motor car
ihgtry atd so many prophecies have
been. ventured withoit" poper;consid
ention of vital and controlling fac
tors, that, a clear''and simple analy
sisofAthe sibject )nay serve to dissi.
pate much of'the unfounded conjec
ture.., I
ture.
The automobile market is divided
into ,wto broad fields. First the "fural
class, which includes all' persons en
gaged in farming aid others in vari
ous businesses who :live in towns of
less than five hundred populption. Sec
ond, the urban class, which comprises
all people, in any but farming pur
suits, who live in towns of five hun
dred or more Population.
In -.the rural or farming market,
there are 6,500,000 families. 'One mil-.
lion ,6f these now own ino'tor cars and'
one and one- half millions are poor,
illiterate, or negroes, 'who for the'
purpose of this study may be exclud
ed from the prospective buying class. t
There "remain, then, 4,000,000 farm
families who are possible automobile
buyers.
In the urbarf class, covered by 11,
000 towns and cities of more than five
hundred population, there are about
5,000,000 home-owners of which num
ber only 2,000,000 now own cars. Ac
cordingly, there' remain 3,000,0G.'
prospective buyers in- this class, or a
total actual unsold market,' in both
rural and urban classes, of 7,000,000
possible automobile buyers.
The accepted average life of an
automobile is about five years in the
hands of the original owners; and as
the man who -once 'owns a car will
not thereafter be without , one, we Ii
must include the re-order market
which in the Calendar year of 1917
will be about 600,00.0, this being
twenty.per cent. of the 8,000,000 now
in use. - -
For the year 1917, therefore, the
sutomobile business will. fact a mar
ket of about 7,600,000 possible buy
era. - Not more than 1,800,000 cars
will be built in the 'con)ing' year, leav
ing a possible excess market of 6,
000,000 buyers at the beginning of
1918.
These figures are decidedly conser
vative because they. take no conside
ration of (1) any export outlet, (2)
the people who have or will have two
or more machines (3) increased popu
lation, (4) increased prosperity, (5)
a million or more town and city fami
lies who do not own the homes in
which they live, but are well able to
buy and maintain a motor car, (6)
the business houses, retail and whole
sale merchants who 'use thodsands of
ro daters' for sals nen, and many
thousands more of delivery cars
(regular automobile chassis with
commercial body), (7) taxicabs and
other cars for public, hire.
*An' Important Fact.
An important and noteworthy fact
is vouched for by the Editorial De
partment of "Automobile Topics," a
well-known trade authority, which has
been making a careful analysis of the
comparative nature of automobile ser-i
vice.. They state that of the 3,000,- I
000 motor cyjs of all kinds in service1
In the United States toda~y, they can
conservatively s'ay from1 their invemsti
gation that over one-half of the mil
eage of the 3,000,000 cars is used for
business purposes. Literally, this
means that of' the 3,000,000 auto:o
biles running in this country today
one-half, or 1,500,000, are -.ised for
business purposes. This leaves only
one and a half million in use for
pleasure or social transportAtion pur
1l3oses.
In considering the 1,600,000 auto
mobiles in use today, which may
legitimately be classed aB' "pleasure
cars," an important fact should be
borne in mind, namely:- the so-called
pleasure car of today has a distinct
economic use, it being only reason
able to deduce that . the timie and
money spent in motoring for pleas
ure or encial rfitercourse almost in
variably takes the place of some
other form of expenditure of less ac
tual economic value. Motoring is a
pl'eature. that makes for broader 'vi
i'on, saner and ynore helpful diver
siOns, andl a more sympathetic social
life. A nation without . its* sane
