HASTY SELECTION OF

Perfection I'm Parts Is Often Life Saver
Warning Words for Pros
Dcctive Buyers.

The history of the inception and
gradual development of the automo-
bile is a record of constant advance
ment in design. material and construc-
ton. In no other field of Industrial
achievement do we find such rapid
and steady progress. and because OF
the concentration of many active. en-
ergetlc faculties. we have today the
practical motor car and its perfected
accessories. Its steady and TRIUMPH
ant march and its evolution from So
called fad to the foundation of great
and permanent industry are almost be-
yond belief Every year has fur-
nished new and distinctive ideas and
improvements.
No one appreciates the development
In automobile construction so well as
those manufacturers of cars and ac-
cessories who have been closely aSso-
ciatod with the automobile since Its in
ception. They can readily recall the
adverse days when a trip from New
York to Yonkers in nerve-racking
three-wheeled contraption called a
"motor car" was regarded as a Won
derful achievement They remember,
also. that such a trip necessitated
complete and thorough oyerhauling OF
the entire mechanism before 1t could
be used again with safety. That is
not much over a decade ago, yet the
automobile and its accessories have
reached a degree OF perfection not
even dreamed of at that time.
FOR PERFECTION.
During the few intervening years the
manufacturers have had but one
thought in mind-"perfection- There

MOTOR INDUSTRY IS
BOON TO RAILROADS
Millions of Dollars Paid Annually in
Freight on Motor
Vehicles.

That the railroads have had an i'm
mense business from the automobile
industry. both through the shipment of
machines from the factories and by the
stimulus given allied industries. is gen.
orally acknowledged.
The carriers have profited largely by
the development of the automobile in
dustry in this country. Tkey naturally

slve shipment of any industry. but this
one is exceptionally productive of rev.
enue for the railroads
An automobile factory will pay the
carriers for from five to ten times as
many freight cars. and at much higher
rates, than a factory producing an
equal number of horse drawn vehicles.
1t Is expected that something like lO0.-
600 carloads will leave the factories this
season
These shipments. of course, originate
over a scattered territory and move to
all parts OF the country; but II New
York to Chicago could be considered the
average distance hauled 1t would in
dlcate that the carriers will earn on
them about $S.000000. Taking Detroit
TO New York as the average distance,
the carriers would earn about Sc. 900. 900.
The factories that produce In large
quantities give the carriers each day
for a considerable portion of the year
enough loaded cars to make up a good
sized freight train.
In addition to the machines shipped
direct from the factories, the railroads
carry thousands of shipments to and
from races and exhibitions. second hand
machines sold and shipments made by
owners and tourists
Thousands of tons of coal, material
and supplies are hauled monthly to the
factories by the railroads, and hundreds
of other factories engaged in the man
ufacture of parts and Sundries are sup
ported. all producers for the carriers.
The express companies have done an
immense business with the automobile
factories. amounting to about 81 .000, 900
per year. a large part of which is on
factory supplies and sundries. Hun
dreds OF thousands of travellers use the
passenger service annually through
their interest in exhibitions. races, etc,

The total amount OF money invested
and kept In circulation is enormous and

tistics show that about one-half of
those who entered the manufacturing
field have discontinued. To those who
pcrsevered the railroads are indebted
for an immense addition to their high
class business within the last 10 years.
