Mrs. Hickey, of the Hickey Machine
Company, of East Orange, took a party
of friends to Philadelphia this week
in her Marmon car. The trip was an
enjoyable one in every sense Of the
word. e -
Joseph II. Wood, representing the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club, of Newark; Karl G.. Roebling, of
the Mercer County Automobile Club,
and Walter E. Edge, of the Atlantic
City Automobile Club, have been APP
pointed to represent this State OF The
good roads board of the American Au-
tomobile Association.
In a report recently circulated among
the members of the Association of Lii
censed Automobile Manufacturers, the
association goes over in brief outline
the advance which the association has
made since it CAV its first show in the
winter of 1901, when cars were run
under their own power in the garden
for demonstrating purpose. This le-
port is borne out by the success which
the Lozier Motor Company has had in
marketing its product. When this COM
pany put its first gas car On the market
in the fall of 1904, after seven years
experiments, it met with a great deal
of very keen competition, as the ma
jority of the cars of the Lozier's power
and size were selling below $4,000, while
the Lozier charged $4,000. The Lozier
company believed that the merit of the
car would prove its worth, and so it
has. In 1905 twelve cars were built:
in 1906, lightweight cars; in 1907, III
cars; in 1908, 80 cars were built, while
for 1909 the Lozier Company will build
400 cars. This record shows that the
high-priced car has come to stay.
