TIMES ARE NOT TOO BAD
EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY. Few people buy new cars when times are really bad. Consequently, car sales figures are a good barometer of prosperity, and the 1937 record sales figure of General Motors’ cars have an interest beyond demonstrating the great size of the General Motors organisation. In the first 11 months of 1937. 1,956,453 General Motors’ cars were 501d—5,857 every day! And 97,438 more than in 1929, the former record year. Owing to the great output of General Motors and the universal distribution of their products, these figures can be taken as evidence that the world in general is fairly prosperous, in spite of temporary depressions in certain countries.
