LoEier Manager Back from Europe
John q. Perrin. general superinten-
dent OF the Lozier factories at Platts-
burg and Detroit. has just returned
from an extended European trip taken
for tho purpose OF studying the auto
mobile trade and manufacturing con-
ditions In general. There Is nothing
radically new In motor car design, al
though in view OF the fact that 1911
Lozier touring cars and runabouts are
being fitted with bodies of the for
ward door type. II was gratifying to
Mr.. Perrin to note the large number
Of foreign builders adopting this type
Of body. Mr.. Perrin ascribes the pop
ularity OF this type OF car not only to
the fact that occupants OF the forward
seats are protected from dust and
wind, but on account of the fact that
many owners are now driving their
own cars. The privacy afforded by en-
closing the front seats with doors,
makes these seats more desirable, es-
pecially in cases where one OF the
front seats is occupied by a lady. On
completion OF the new Lozier factory
here Oct. 1. Mr.. Perrin will make his
headquarters N this city. although he
will continue to exercise general SUI
pervision over the Plattsburg works.
