The extent of automobile own- ership in this country would indi- cate that the number of new con- sumers cannot be very greatly in- creased," the survey states, 'This does not mean that the expansion in the domestic market will fail to continue, Reports of a saturation point in the American market for automobiles have proved to be aa annual 'error for several years. There has been a very irteresting trend toward the use of two Tars in a family, and it is estimated that 15 per cent, of American fami- lies to-day possess two cars each, while in 8 per cent, of the families there are three cars. Prosperity will, of course, greatly enhance this tendency. "In addition, there is a normal replacement demand which increas- es by about 10 per cent. annually. Out of a world production of 5,~ 802,000 motor vehicles in ' 1928, it is estimated that over 55 per cent, was required for replace- ments, as compared with approxi- mately 50 per cent. in 1927 and 37 per cent. in the preceding year. In the United States alone the esti- mated number of replacements in 1928 was 2,450,000, On this basis, the replacement demand for the current year will be around 2;700,~ 000." r Lawyer Charged With Extortion Alexandria, Is Arrested Alexandria, Sept. 7.--The arrest: of a prominent lawyer, two youths, and the father of one of the latter, on charges of extortion and com- pounding a felony, has caused a sensation in this small Glengarry centre. : Those taken into custody are: Lawrence Proulx, aged 18; Leo- nard Kemp, aged 18; Thomas Kemp, father of Leonard Kemp; and.
