Each manufacturing season in the mo-
tor car world brings out some new trend
on the part of the user. and usually this
Is strong enough to guide the maker who
takes pains to keep in close touch with
the army of users and prepare for its
wants. One of the strongest develop
ments Of the present season has been in
the demand for bright and black nickel
finish for the exposed metal parts of the
car that in former years have either been
given brass finish or painted. 1t Is not
thought that this is in any sense fad OF
the moment since the demand has been
increasing steadily for several years past.
Many chauffeurs request the nickel when
their employers are ordering new cars, as
they hold that this finish is much easier
to keep clean and bright than brass,
which has tendency to become tar
nished when exposed 10 the elements
The demand for this departure from the
customary is not confined to any one
class Of cars. but is about equally diVid-
ed between the open and inclosed We
hicles.
