...contest has already received enough publicity so that Paramount and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are sending their news cameramen to snap the listeners in action. There was also a possibility late last night that Fox Movie-tone would be on hand to record on a synchronized score the voices of the men and the music, as the phonographs grind...
Last week U. S. motorists blinked eyes in astonishment; U. S. motor car makers held heads proudly high. Astonishment and pride alike resulted from a perusal of automobile production figures for the first quarter of 1929. For these statistics showed that speeding 1929 was leaving record-breaking 1928 far behind. They demonstrated a percentage increase worthy even of an infant industry; a volume increase that should materially contribute to the development of the U. S. citizen into a creature with two arms and four wheels. Having produced more than 1,000,000 cars in the first three months of record...
...because of prevailing U. S. prosperity. Production of 1,500,000 cars in the first three months of 1929 of course does not mean that the year will reach a 6,000,000 total, but that it should pass the 5,000,000 mark is a conservative estimate.

Cadillac and La Salle March production totaled 4,009; the Olds Motor Works turned out 13,000 Oldsmobiles (44% increase over March, 1928); Buick reached a March figure of 15,206.* Production has also been started on a new General Motors car -the Viking. Made at the Oldsmobile Lansing plant, the Viking is an 8-cylinder car with a V-type motor...
Others. Graham-Paige almost doubled its first quarter 1928 output, producing more than 25,000 Graham-Paiges during first three months of 1929. Nash beat March, 1928 by 44%, Franklin by 140% (1,566 units). March saw the millionth Oakland roll down the runway. Marmon had a record-breaking March, featured by its new Roosevelt (8 cylinders, less than $1,000). President A. R. Erskine of Studebaker told stockholders of $4,500,000 earnings, in best first quarter for five years. Continental Motors Corp. (engines) showed sales increases, exclusive of sales to Ford, of 18% over first quarter...
