Automobile manufacturers and
dealers are preparing for a demand
next spring that will fully sustain
the pace set by the spring selling sea
sons of recent years.
Sales managers and distributors of
the leading cars unanimously assert
that this fall's business was not only
satisfactory, but a distinct surprise
to the pessimists.
Requests of distributor and deal
ers .for ample allotments wherewith
to meet the rush of spring, l'Jlo, al
ready coming in, reveal a confident'
in the field that can only be based
on definite prospects.
Following the u.iual experience of
the trade, the first fine days of next
Spring will remind these prospects by
the thousands that they want their
cars and dealers will be expected to
run the cars up to the front doors of
purchasers the day they are asked
for.
Many will get their cars promptly,
others will be disappointed. Few rea
lize the enormous business involved
in preparation to meet the spring de
mand. The cars have to be ready at
the dealers' points of delivery.
Distributors and dealers all over the
country are even now placing their
orders for shipments from carloads
to trainloads on a monthly schedule
right through the winter. The distri
butors and dealers have to pay for
these cars at the time of delivery. Ex
cept with factory branches practical
ly no consignment business is done.
The cars are stored at the points of
delivery, awaiting the spring pur
chasers.
It is a "distinct mark of the sub
stantial foundation and healthy tone
of the automobile business that dis
tributors and dealers so generally ob
tain the financial support necessary
to obtain curs months in advance of
the demand. Commodore William
Livinsrstone. president of the Dime
Savings Bank of Detroit, said to the
American Bankers' Association at
Richmond, Va.:
"The disposition in early years to
look askance at the automobile man
ufacturer and dealer has passed, and
with further knowledge of the busi
ness, credits commensurate with
sound banking methods have been
extended to the mutual benefit of all.
No longer do we hear talk that the
automobile business will go the same
way as the bicycle business, it being
generally agreed that the making and
marketing of motor cars is among out
greatest industries a situation to be
credited to a large degree to the care
and conservatism of bankers who
have been active in caring for the au
tomobile dealers among their pa
trons."
