THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1929 PAGE THREE" Oshawa Ex-Service Men Made Splendid Showing in Parade Automobile Industry Has Trebled Its Employees Roll Within the Last Ten Years Building of Automobiles Is] Now the Chief Industry of the Province of Ontario, With Future Prospects Even Brighter "57,920 NEW CARS BOUGHT THIS YEAR Record for the First Seven Months of 1929 is Far Ahead of the Figures Fer Any Previous Year -- Exports Growing Rapidly By ROY D. KERBY, President and General Manager of Durant Motors of Canada, Limit. ed. From Jan. 1 to July 31, 1929, 'the people of Ontario purchased 757,920 new motor vehicles, which is considerably more than they ever previously purchased in a _similar period, and which is far : more than the total number of mo- ; tor vehicles owned in many coun- tries having populations as large or * larger than the Dominion of Can- + ada. 4 On Jan. 1, 1929, + Ontario, with one , every 6.6 persons, ranked a little below the average for the United . States, but since cars of all kinds + cost very much more in Canada it : seems plain that the 3.000,000 On- tarians spent more money upon the : purchase of new automobiles than « did an average 3,000,000 people in { the United States or any other * country. During the same period Ontario - spent $137,404,000 upon new + buildings. Bank debits reached a total of $9,511,000,000, approxi- mately one billion dollars more "than in the first half of 1928, and 95 per cent higher than in 1924. Employment in Ontario on June 1, 1929, reached a new high figure which was 11 per cent greater than one year ago and 26 per cent great- er than the average for 1926, and practically all other recognized business indicators show equally encouraging increases. Students of business economics have come to recognize that the purchase of automobiles affords a fairly accurate reflex of the busi- , ness conditions and purchasing f power of any given area. No long- er is it argued that the spending ot money upon the purchase of pass- enger cars and trucks is a detri- ment to other business, but it is clearly seen that the increase in the efficiency of the residents of a com- munity or area reacts favorably up- on all major trades. Ontario's Purchases of New Vehicles Compared (First six months in each year} Passenger Cars. 1928 12,645 Commercial Cars. 1928 4,268 Analysis of new registrations show that Ontario motorists are buying higher-priced models than they formerly did. It is also clear (Continued on Page 7) the province of automobile to Motor 927 TRESPASS CHARGE Stanla Truss appearing on a charge of trespassing the C.N.R. tracks was acquitted when it was learned through the interpreter that he was really awaiting a train that was to take him' fo construction job that would keep. him employed until Christmas. on MAKE UNGERIE LOOK LIKE NEW =]) X Dyin 0 nd BETTER TINT of SIX CYLINDER CAR EXCEEDS THE FOUR IN PRODUCTION CHEVROLET RESPONS- IBLE FOR CHANGE IN SITUATION One Millionth Chevrolet Six Was Produced This Month This year, for the first time on record, the production of six-cyl- inder automobiles is exceeding the production of fours, according to a survey just completed by the General Motors of Canada, Limit- ed. Responsibility for this upset of the normal situation is placed on Chevrolet, which this year grad- nated into the six-cylinder class. Its expected production of 1,350,- 000 Chevrolets this year, therefore, means that many fewer fours and that many more sixes when. the to- tals for the year are compiled. In consequence, sixes have become the majority. During the first six months of 1929 there were produe- ed approximately 1,900,000 sixes and 1,265,000 fours--an indica- tion of what the totals for the yeur are likely to be. : In the process of this reversal, 4 good many records have been smashed. On August 5th, one mil- lion Chevrolet Sixes had been tak- en off the assembly lines since Jan- unary 1st of this year. This is said to be more than three times the largest production. of sixes ever achieved by a single manufacturer of motor cars in a like period. The various steps in the Chevrolet pro- duction record form an interest- ing tabulation: First Six ... 250,000th Six 500,000th Six .. 750,000th Six --_... 1,000,000th Six August 5. As officials point out, the achieve ment is even greater than during the same period of 1927 or 1928, during which years the Chevrolet Motor Company was the world's largest builder of automobiles. As a result, from January 1st, 1927, to the present, Chevrolet has pro- duced a greater total of motor cars than any other manufacturer dur- ing that period. One other record smashed by the Chevrolet achievement this vear was in overcoming the usual July slump. For the first time in the history of the company, Chevrolet sales during July show- ed an increase over those of June-- a development which appears to give added confirmation to claims regarding the steadily growing popularity of the six-cylinder motor car. .

Al- thoughi t was the day of The Times' picnic, for the conveniences of the people of the city a reporter was left at the switch-board in The Times of- fice to give information to enquirers as to the score at the different per- iods of play. Between four o'clock and seven in the evening there were between five and six hundred calls made to the office for information re- garding the game, The three lines were busy during the whole evening; and the expressions of delight on the news . of Oshawa's great score brought many smiles to the re- porter's face. Some even doubted their own hearing and ventured to ask if there was some mistake. Toronte and New Y. Miller Alloway, third, D. Johnston. All contestants in this race received prizes.

SHUNTER "A gravel truck driven by Raymond Glover - was struck by the shunter and thrown into the north ditch be- side the R.,.C. cemetery, North Osh- awa, near noon, Saturday. Glover was accompanied by his helper, Clifford Solomon. Both men were rushed to the doctor's but found to be not badly hurt. Glover had a cut on the forehead and one wrist sprained while Solomon's elbow was injured. The truck is badly damaged. It is a miracle that both occupants of the truck were not killed. The embankment was fully ten feet deep. The truck turned a complete somer- sault, This is the second truck struck here as Brown: Brothers' truck driven by J. Tilling was struck earlier in the spring.
