Automobile Style,

There are nearly as many different styles and makes of automobiles now as was formerly the case with bicycles" said a local sportsman. "A few years ago the auto car was quite a novelty but now 1t has already become common and we may expect to see before very much longer that 1t is decreasing in price. This will be the natural consequence of so many being manufactured. Even in stand ard magazines the number of automobile advertisements has already become nos ticeable, but in one of the regular motor journals the bewildering array of costly machines Is astonishing to a person who has not thought much about the new fad. The sport has given rise to several very finely illustrated publications that seem expensive enough to harmonize with their subject natter Perhaps the best of these is .'The Auto Car" a very hand some periodical devoted entirely to the automobile. Just yet the general public cannot dismiss the idea that the motor car Is a fad, a luxury of the rich, and, therefore, altogether unaItainable, but a time Is soon coming when the price will drop with startling rapidity, though never so far as was the case with bicycles, Automobiles are, after all. rather expen- sive things to manufacture"
