THE FUTURE OF THE
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

In a recent issue of the New York
American, Hugh Chalmers writes op-
timistically on the future of the auto
mobile industry, and predicts greater
prosperity, as well as greater progress
of development along practical lines
than ever before in the history Of the
industry.
He says In part:
''And quite as often as this question
of the future of the automobile in
dustry is asked, some one mentions
is as a mushroom business. Certainly
the automobile industry has had, in
some respects, a mushroom growth,
but that is a proof that it will live,
rather than that the motor car is a
failure. The fact that the business
has grown so rapidly shows conclu-
sively that the demand for motor cars
exists. This demand was not created !;
it has existed for centuries.
1t has always been the ambition of
mankind to improve the methods of
transportation. First man had two
logs tied together and drawn by OK
en-. Later he worked up to the horse
drawn vehicle, then came steamship
and railroad transportation, later
came electric cars. All Of the latter
are forms Of community transporta-
ton. The automobile is the greatest
Improvement in individual transporta-
tion i'm centuries. Therefore, I saw
that the demand for automobiles was
not created. 1t existed for hundreds
Of years.
We cannot abandon the motor car
now. even If we wanted to do so. 1t
is one of those improvements that
has made its way into our daily lives.

a popular priced car. to meet the re-
quirements of-the average citizen who

minimum OF expense without the me-
cessity OF employing a chauffeur.
In construction the Ford car is sim

services OF a mechanician to operate

Of a large proportion of the public,
with the one aim in view of eliminat-

duc.ng the maximum of durability
and efficiency.
The price at which it is sold makes
Il q special value, as the construction
IS OF the very best. and in every re-
spect equal il not better than the
