What the United States Motor Company Is +=) HE United States Motor Company is organized to produce utility automobiles economically. ‘| It is interested in the production of pleasure cars only incidentally. In the pursuit of this purpose, it will seek a just and reasonable profit. In the accomplish- ment of its purpose it will confer a distinct benefit. There is a wide but unappreciated difference between pleasure cars and utility cars. Any motor car that can be profitably employed in the conservation of time and the extension of business is a utility car. Any car that cannot be economically employed for useful purposes is a pleasure car. The future of the pleasure car is limited. The future of the utility car is without limit. ) HE United States Motor Company is interested especially in utility cars and trucks. It has ‘| proven that the motor car can be profitably employed in business, and especially can be i profitably maintained in combining business and pleasure. The production of such cars will | continue to be its main concern. In making implements of production the United States Motor Company will increase the earning power, conserve the time, extend the field and support the hands of the nation. It will be an economic factor in the industrial development of the United States, as the railroad and the trolley, the telephone and the telegraph have been. Its products will rank in trans- portation between the railroad and the trolley—more elastic than either. HE principles which underlie the conduct of the United States Motor Company are those on which the unquestioned industrial supremacy of the United States is built. The United States Motor Company stands for resources, stability, co-operation, independence, “ economies, efficiency, reliability and protection. Its influence and activities are as broad as the map of the United States. Therefore, it has adopted that map and the nation’s shield for its symbol. The Capital Stock of the United States Motor Company is $30,000,000. Its factories occupy a combined floor space of 49 acres. ‘The appraised value of its land, buildings, machinery and equipment is $7,120,000. [t employs 14,000 men. Its yearly payroll aggregates $11,000,000. Its annual output aggregates 52,000 cars with a sale value of over $50,000,000. These cars are distributed through 32 branch houses and 1800 dealers in America, and in Europe through the United International Motors, Ltd. The United States Motor Company stands behind it all, as a guarantor to the purchaser of its products.
