The increase of the potential capacity of the tractorindustry is difficult to estimate. There is no organiza-tion which has this information. Recently a number oftractor manufacturers were asked to estimate the in-creased capacity of the industry. Most of them repliedthat they lacked the information necessary to make suchan estimate. The sales manager of one of the oldestand largest manufacturing plants in the industry re-plied that his plant had an increased capacity of 570 percent over Jan. 1, 1915. His estimate was that the ca-pacity of the industry had been increased ten to fifteentimes during the period mentioned. Another large manufacturer estimated the increasedcapacity of the industry during this period as 400 1914 1915 1910 1917 Fig. 4—Increasing wholesale value of cars and trucksplotted In/ big production years 320 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIESTEE AUTOMOBILE February 17, 1921 Automotive Exports from England,France and Italy Increase Value of complete cars and trucks exported from England in 1920 fourtimes that of 1919 total, while Italy exports two-and-one-half times asmuch during first half of 1920 as during entire previous year. Francealso shows big gain, passing the billion francs mark for first time. THE value of exported automotiveproducts rose during 1920 for Eng-land, France and Italy. Aboutfour times as many complete cars andtrucks were exported from the UnitedKingdom during 1920 as during value of tires and tubes exportedduring 1920 shows a total of about150 per cent more than the previousyear. French automotive exports increasedin value 971,970,000 francs over the 1919 total, while Italian exports morethan doubled in value. The tables pre-sented in t
