United States Leads World
in Manufacture of Autos
BY r. r. l'Hornnedieu

1t is now acknowledged that America
turns out more automobiles annually
than any other nation. The value of
these cars is not as great as those made
in France but it will be only a matter
of a short time before this country
will lead not only in the number of
cars manufactured but also in their
value.
The fact that the United States
manufactures more cars but of less
aggregate value tends to show that
either the automobile is more popular
with the masses here or else there is
greater prosperity in the United States
than in all of Europe combined.
NJ FarouX of Paris lately issued fig
ures which he claims to be as near &C
curate as can be obtained. He says
that about 10000 motor cars are in
actual service. OF that number the
United States has supplied about one
fifth. or 9S,2S7. A conservative esti-
mate average value of the American
machine is put at $4,000 This means
that the money invested in automo-
biles since they were first manufac-
tured here is S196.574O00 Figuring on
this basis would make the 1906 output
worth s116.0OO.0OO.
In comparison with this is the state
ment that the total value of the horse
drawn NehlcleS Tor the same Twelve
month was S191, 100000. In q report is
sued by the American Motor Car Manu-
facturers it is said that during the year
1906 there were between $4,000 and
$4,000 automobiles put on the market.
The local dealers are still keen
on the automobile show. Thomas B.
Jeffrey & Co will make an exhibit of
two-cylinder runabout. four four-cyl-
Under touring cars and several thirty
and forty horsepower vehicles. The
company will also exhibit a forty
horsepower seven passenger car. 1t is
also proposed to show the twenty two
horsepower two-cylinder combination
car, which can be used either as a run

When the child was years old his
hair began to turn gray, his eyesight
began to fail and he walked with the
deliberate care of q person we'll adj
vanced in years. AS very young child
he was exceptionally bright, but his
mental faculties failed gradually dur
ing the last two years, so he was lit
