REGISTRATIONS FOR AUTOS PASS THE MILLION MARK Current Year Should See Passenger Cars Alone Pass This Figure Toronto, Feb. 2--As was freely predicted at the beginning of the year 1928, registrations of motor ve- hicles for last year passed the mil- lion mark in Canada. Figures se- cured from the provinces by The Financail Post, (some of which, it is true, are as yet interim compilations), disclose that in 1928 there were 1,- 070,908 motor vehicles of all types *WHEN ARE YA GONNA PUT IN fl: da? *\WHERE DO YOU ALWAYS BLY YOUR.COAL?

Passenger car registrations jump- ed from 827,694 to 930,995, an in- crease of 103,301, and should pass the million mark easily before the end of the current year. An equally satisfactory gain was made in motor truck registrations, which increased from 104987 to 132915, furnishing irrefutable eviden® of the stability of the motor trucking industry in this country. Motorcycle registra- tions increased 655 from the 1927 figure of 6,343. At is a striking commentary on the general prosperity of the coutnry that every province showed a sub- stantial gain last year in passenger and 'commercial car registrations over 1927, which, inturn, had shown gains somewhat smaller over 1926, Figures, as a rule, are "dry" fod- der, but the 1928 registrations re- flect so rosily the grow of prosperity that the temptation is too strong to resist presenting the results of delv- ing into percentages and 'compari- JOE GAVE HIM ONE QUICK AND JOE REPLIED 3 WHERE COAL 1S COAL /" HE TOLD HIM WHERE TO GO- sens.
