Wants an Auto Tfust

]. N. Williamson in his Fourth Of

mobile trust would be the next one
organized, as the public was even
now demanding it, to furnish cars
at one-tenth their present cost.
He pointed out that this is the only
way such reduction could be brought
about, and he was undoubtedly cor
rect Such combination would re-
duce prices, insure uniformity in con-
struction and make things better ali
around The suggested trust could
make deals with the steel trust, leath-
er trust and oil trust, and give the
purchaser the benefit, and the Hearst
