The sale of Buick cars thus far this year has reached a vol ume approximating four times that of any like period in the his- tory of the Buick Company. I Prospects were never better than at oresent for the continued prosperity of the company These most interesting figures, particularly valuable in the light of many pessimistic statements. are brought out in a general bin letin just issued by R. H. Collins, eeneral sales manager of the Buick Motor Company. Flint, Michigan. Because of the immense de mand for Buick cars this year. the Buick Company has been working an extraordinary number of men in their plant. As com paied with the same months last year, there were practically six times as many cars built in the month of August, 1914, three times as many in the month of September and an equally large increase in the month of Octo ber just finished. And despite this increase, the facilities ot the plant made it necessary during these same months this year to discard in the neighborhood of 15 thousand actual orders which could not be filled. ' It now looks as though even the ordinaiy dull months of No vember and December, when bad weather naturally lessens the sales of war,, would see lest cur tailment than ever before , in the Buick working forces.

It can be done with sys tematic advertisng and a little attention to the change in some lines of goods made to suit the territory. We should have on exhibit in New York samples of all goods made in High Ponit. Such an exhibit would surprise the Northern buyers and be a big advertisement for our industries, We need more breadth in our business methods if we are to become a great manufacturing center. Our present policy of crystallization, which takes care of only a few is devoid of pro gress and if let alone goes back to the milling town of 25 years ago when entire communities were owned and operated by few with no future for those who operate. High Point is known pretty well as a manufacturing town and we should take advantage of this. Let us exhibit our goods hunt new territory and so ar range our financial policy that there may be an increase in the number of factories. There was more hope for High Point when we had 40 fae tories than it is today under our present policy The spirit was better and our general am bition was keener.
