Compared with the corresponding month of a year ago, when .Hs,195 used cars were sold,' the May 1929 total showed a gain of more than 33 percent. It also outstripped the April 1929 record of 133,887 used cars. In accomplishing this feat, the Chevrolet dealer organization sold an average of 6,063 used cars a day during the 26 business dars of the month . This was at the rate of more than 600 cars an hour and more than ten cars ·a minute. The May record demonstrates that it pays to sell only depentlable merchandise, officials point out. CARS, NOTHING BUT CARS A total of 24,493,124 motor vehicl~s were registered in the Unitcrl State:; last year, or one automobile for each 5.6 persons in the country, according to The Automohile Club of Illinois. LIFE June 28, 1929 Chevro/et C /aims New Record in Sale of Used Cars in May What is believed to be a new record for the sale of used cars in the United States was established in May when the nation-wide Chevrolet dealer organization sold 157,624 rJsed cars. This was in addition to the record volume of new car business which also soarecl to a new level during the month. · In commenting on the achievement, Chevrolet factory officials point out that it was made possible through the tremendous amount of public confitlence that has been built lijJ by Chevrolet dealers through the general policy of offering for sale only dependable merchandise. They explain that through the wide-spread use of th~ red tag "with an 0. K. that coun ·," prospective used car buyers ean he assured that every vita) part of the Over-Production Is Not Fe~ed in Auto Industry There is no evidence that the automobile industry or any other imp.)rtant industry is over-producing or acrun~u lating large inventories, according to Col. Leonard P. Ayres, vice.-presi.-ient of the Cleveland Trust company, 'tnd nationally known business f0recaster. Two years ago, in October, 1927, Col. Ayres held that the shutdown of the Ford plants was the largest single cause contrihuting to the general slow ing down of busin ess. Now he thinks that Ford · activity is responsible in large measure for the inrlustrial production records of this year. "Probably the most important in Auence in. sustaining the .high level of industrial activity so far this year has heen the phenomenal output of the auto." · Rural Pavements . Twenty Feet Wide Now Recommended During the last few years rural pavement building has been continually undergoing readjustment. · Experience and tests have shown the wisdom of making concrete thicker at the pavement edges, better surface finish, and a number of other improv~ ments that have gone to make th·2 pavement smooth, efficient,. and of low cost of upkeep. At present progressive highway builders and communities are giving attention to the important matter of rural pavement width. Clearly, road:; for modern traffic should have wider lanes · than those deemed suitable for horse drawn vehicles. The 16-foot roadway that well served slow moving buggies and wagons gives no mar gin of safety for fast moving vehiclPs of today. The 18-foot road width is in many instances adequate for a twolane highw'!Y· However, various com munities are finding it highly desirable and economical to install 20-foot pavements. There is a growing belief that mos~ pavements should be designed in units of 10-foot traffic lanes. In and near population centers commercial trai fie is increasing. Here outlets to the country should be of 40, 60 and SOfoot widths. The 10-foot lane gives ample space for each car apd insures greater speed with a greater safety factor. The United States Bureau of Public: Roads recently issued a statement urging the construction of roads of a niinimum width of 20 feet where there is. much bus and truck travel. Trucks nowadays frequently attain speeds of thirty-five miles an hour. Trailers arc being attached to many trucks. Powerful buse.:<>, perhaps themselves eight feet in width, are also busy doing the nations' bidding. The motor car is desirably and definitely associated with prosperous modern industry. In communities where there ·s considerable commercial motor traffic, such as usually follows extensive highway development, there is a real need for the 20-foot pavement which gives the drivers of all types of vehicles a clearer vision of the road ahead and a wider margin of ~afety. 00" 1his is the Sedan you Will·huy, ifyou Compare in the $900 Field ~TE will not need to urge you to buy Sedan if you only compare it to other Sedans in the $900 field.
