How Cost, Durability. and Speed Neo
 essary.
 The automobile has been sufficiently long in our midst to enable us to define tue essential qualities which go to make up an ideal machine, says the Scientific American. Naming them In taeir order they are as follows: Low cost durability, endurance Garge fuel supply, ability to climb hill and speed. Low cost is given the first place for tho rea5on that the present price of the au- tomobile places it altogether beyond the means of the average individual, and renders it a very decided luxury. It is certain that cheapening the cost will produce a proportionate increase in the demand, and an increased de- i.and will lead in it's turn to a reduc- sivefy proved in the history of the bi- cycle. the cost of a frst-class machine today being about one-qnarter what it was few years ago, when the number of riders was limited. Bat while the Ideal automobile must be cheap, the
 
 at the expense of sound materials and good workmanship. However great may be the demand for a low-2riced machine, our manufacturers must nev- CT attempt to meet it by making a short cut by way of showy but inferior construction The folly of such meth cd vas demonstrated very conclusive D vheA the bicycle ~as ak the Ae4ghe of It's popularity. Next te it's low cost and durability we place the endurance of the automobile, by which We mean its capacity to cover a large mileage without having to refill it's fuel tanks. Liberal fuel capacity will be a very strong recommendation to the bicyclist who has been accustomed to rove all day on long distance excursions with tue knowledge that he is not tied to particular stopping places, or liable to be hopelessly stalled" by a collapse of his motive power in out-of-the-way ar unerlected places.
