The number of these machines that have gone to the scrap heap, is as yet negligible for commercial reckoning. The oldest is only twelve or thirteen years old. Everyone has seen the quaint old timers in daily service. These facts cause many to wonder where the hundreds of thousands of automobiles manufactured each year will go. They figure that there is now one automobile to each seventy or eighty people in the country. How many possible purchasers remain to be supplied. Without taking into account the scrapping of old machines, which must soon become a real factor, it may be said that stupendous as the business is, the possibilities have not been much more than "scratched." Not quite 50 per cent of the auto mobiles in use are owned by farm ers and to the farmer the automo bile is far more a utility than a lux ury. It has become a real farm nec essity, so recognized by all the farm press. There are in the United States ac cording to the census of 1910, six mil lion three hundred and sixty-one thou sand, five hundred and two farms, with a total value of forty billion nine hundred and ninety-one million, four hundred and forty-nine thou and, and ninety dollars an average value per farm of six thousand, four hundred and forty-four dollars. A supply averaging one automobile to a farm is a long way in the future but the demand is not inconceivable. Some day, without doubt, it will be approximated and when it comes it will represent a degree of progress and efficiency as far ahead of the present as the supply of that day will be ahead of the present supply. Thus far the supply is only about 10 per cent. The manufacturers would have to produce over five mil lion more cars to fill the farm market alone. And there is yet the city demand to be taken care of. These are undoubtedly some of the facts that led President William Liv ingstone of the Dime Savings Bank, Detroit, to speak so enthusiastically of the liberal support the banks are giving the automobile dealers espec ially in the small towns where the dealers do a large part of their busi ness with the farmers. Commodore Livingstone said in his address before the Amercan Bankers Association: . "As the greatest number of cars are sold during seven months of the year, makers and dealers have been borrowers, and it is a matter of record and congratulation that in fostering this growing industry bankers of this country have played a most import ant part with practically no loss. Dis cerning bankers in the past few years especially haev appreciated the sta bility of the men in charge, and have co-operated to a marked degree, in establishing the business on its present high plane.
