History OF Automobile Advancement

IT would probably not prove as in
teresting to the readers of The
n Herald to view automobiles from
the standpoint of comparison as 1t
would to note the contrast between the
early and late models. The accom-
panying cut shows the Columbia car,
which has the distinction of winning
the first track race ever held In this
country for American made cars. This
race was run at Branford, Conn.,, in
July, 1897. In order to win this race
it was necessary to obtain the remark
able speed of twenty-eight miles an
hour How many sales could be con-
summated at this time for anything
save the dignified electric machine If 1t
were known that it was not possible
to obtain a greater speed than was
shown by this early model of racing
car? At the time it was looked upon
as a wonderful advance in construction
over the primitive one-cylinder car, and
yet when we study the accompanying
cut we wonder how anything could
have been more primitive than this.
The question naturally arises as to
which would be considered the greatest
curiosity-this model of 1897 appear
ing as pleasure vehicle on the streets
of our city today or the present lux
urious torpedo body had 1t been pos
sible to operate it upon the same
streets during the earliest days of auto
mobiedom. No doubt greater effort
was put forth in the beginning to OBJ
tain comfort than is necessary now.
Perfection comes easier with practice.
There is no question but what the re-
quirements of today are far more ex-
acting than those of former years.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

thought necessary to have a new car
each year. and to keep in style this
was essential. The season of 1910, now
opening up, has shown a decided trend
toward standardization among the cars
manufactured by the members of the
American Licensed Automobile Manu-
facturers' association. The newest style
of torpedo body has so many elements
of comfort embodied in its makeup
that 1t is sure to remain popular. A
cut of the first one of these to be
shown in our local market is shown
on this page of The Herald. Can you
imagine any greater contrast than is
shown in these two models, the prod
ucts of one factory? The comfort OBJ
tanned from riding in the first one must
have been due to the thought that 1t
was better than walking, and the occu-
>ants possibly felt that they had at
aimed a position in life not enjoyed by
IL, while the occupants of the newer
model were happy in the thought that
hey were comfortable on account of
being protected from wind and dust,
and that little bump in the road now
and then would not necessarily require
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

the services of an orthopedic surgeon
at the end of the journey.
The buyer of today should figure on
a car that would give the best service
for a period of years, and not for one
year. The ideal car is the one whose
designers have worked out details and
refinements so that it will best meet
the requirements of all. 1t should have
power enough, but not too much; an
evenly balanced car weight and power
considered, will last much longer than
the one designed to do stunts today,
but not one year from today.
Purchasers should not ngure that the
man at the factory got hold of the
wrong price tag when he established
the price on the car they are consider
ing. There is a difference in the ma
terials, difference in workmanship and
inspection. The dealer who tells you
that his car is as good as his COM
petitor's, which sells for two or three
times as much, knows that he is max
ing a statement which investigation
will not prove We are living in an
age where we should have reason to
expect that we shall get value received
for every dollar spent, but it is the
exception and not the rule when we
get more than we pay for.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

Where is there today an automobile
enthusiast who would accept, even as
a gift, a machine such as is shown in
this "early vintage cut? Yet it is more
than probable that the owner of this
car was a ch-talked-about man. He
was probably considered in the light
of a plunger, while the man who would
purchase an up-to-date model at the
present time, with the luxuries now
shown in the accessory line added,
would simply be looked upon as man
who was adopting the wise policy to
get as much out of life as is possible.
What investment today pays better
dividends than an automobile of stan
dard make, built for comfort, and not
simply to sell quick? At the present
time buyers are given the opportunity
of purchasing a car that is not an ex-
periment-a car that is produced by a
manufacturer who has passed the ex-
perimental stage years ago, and Is
simply adding refinements to an al
ready satisfactory product.
The almost universal adoption of the
automobile as the standard pleasure
vehicle brings to mind the thought that
perhaps we shall see, at some future
time, a large percentage of the back
yards of both city and country homes
adorned with some portion of an auto
mobile. In previous years it was

COAT TAIL CENSOR

The great hit by Lysander John Ap-
pleton In an address before the Twi-
light Literary club recently was due to
his wife. Lysander John is prosy and
can go past more fine places for stop
ping without seeing them than any
other man In town. When he reached
the first of these stopping places the
other evening his wife gave a quick
pull at his coattail and pulled him to
his seat His speech was necessarily
cut short and made the hit of the even
ing. There is talk of having wives sit
behind their husbands at all future
meetings as a sort of c. T. s. (coat tail
censor) committee.--Atchison Globe.

PRIMITIVE COLUMBIA CAR WAS Rsr AMERICAN RACE WINNER

The membership of the American
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
association is composed mainly of those
manufacturers who have proved their
ability to properly manage their busi-
ness and who can reasonably be ex-
pected to remain in business. In most
cases they manufacture all, or nearly
all, of the parts used in the construc-
tion of their product with the excep-
tion of some of the accessories. This
is decided advantage of the buyer, as
we'll as to dealer and manufacturer. 1t
is a better assurance that there will
be more parts, If needed, and that
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

greater care is being exercised to pro-
tect the reputation of the product than
Is possible in the case Of the assembled
car 1t permits of a Standardization of
parts and is more apt to bring about
a perfect car by having each part
properly related to every other part.
The near-perfect automobile of today
has arrived; 1t stands more abuse than
was intended by its designer and the
life of the standard machine of today
rests largely with the operator.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, May S-A large distribu-
ton Of speculative holdings of stocks
was effected today with the result Of
holding in reserve the upward trend
Of prices. The great volume of sales
was made at prices higher than yes
terday and represented, therefore,, sub
any time since the low level of prices
touched in the panic period of 1907,
and in the period of extreme depres-
sion following. United States Steel
rose to the highest price Of the year.
The growth of speculative interest in
the market for several days past has
resulted in bringing in increased or
derS to buy stocks from outside sources
and this supplied an advantageous
Medium for securing profits. The alb
sOrptiVe power of the market, in fact,
proved so effective as to furnish re-
neWed encouragement to the bull
leadership in the speculation.
The copper stocks were still favor
ties IN the speculation.
