men paid to do the

jority of these cars
had to be carried
over another year.
In the meantime the
we'll established man
ufacturers who had
been doing business
upon a safe and sane
basis were proceeding
slowly and carefully.
They were obliged, of
course, to enter into
competition with the
so-called cars" but
their real value and
their straight forward
and honest treatment
of their dealers and
owners soon enabled
them to make still
further inroads into

made money and the cars were
sold. Some of the shrewdest
manufacturers, however, at the
end of this season saw that
trouble was brewing-that
something was bound to break,
because no industry, however
great, could stand such
strain, such wasteful method
of doing business, especially
with such lax and unstable
business organizations.
AS soon as the alleged man
ufacturers (?) began to realize
this, they saw their only saliva
ton lay in adopting more dar-
ing methods, they came out
with advertisements, boldly
proclaiming their superiority,
assuring the public of their
sincerity and praising to the
skies, the wonderful mechani-
cal perfectness and ability
which they claimed their cars
possessed. OF course they had
to do this. They had ordered
thousands of parts-they had
built enormous factories-had
made large contracts with their
dealers-made rosy promises to
their owners. They had to do
something and this seemed to
offer the easiest loophole. But,
although the beloved public"
may like to be fooled as P. T.
Barnum says, yet it is hard to
do it twice in the same place
and the cars did not move in
such overwhelming numbers as
they had predicted and ex-
pected.
At the beginning of the 1910
season they found themselves
in still worse straits-they put
a new frame on the picture,
re-gilded it and held it up to the
public gaze once more-a beau
tiful (Y creation but at a sac
rificed price. AS at the public
auction that we see on our
main street every day, only a
few of the gullible bought
the rest were "cappers" and
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-03-25

the sales of their "f1y-by-night
competitors.
Every one knows what has
happened-how these COM
panies have been forced into
still more desperate straits
how as last resort they have
thrown to the winds any SEM
blance of price maintenance,
fair treatment of customers
and dealers-how they have
attempted to market their pro-
duct by giving their dealers
still larger discounts-how
they have given the automobile
industry a reputation which it
never deserved and never
should have had-how they
have destroyed the public's con-
fidence and how they have
caused the loss of thousands
and thousands of dollars not
only to themselves but to the
industry at large.
A few of these companies
have, at last, learned their les
son and are now beginning to
put their business upon a safe
and honest basis, but unfortu-
nately it will be many years
before they can again gain the
confidence Of those dealers and
owners who once purchased
their cars. Notwithstanding
this fact, however, there are
two or three companies who
are still pursuing the same old
circus methods-still attempt
ing to fool the public in the
hopes that they may save some
of the thousands Of dollars
that they have now invested in
cars which they had hoped to
market two years ago.
1t is needless for us to call
these by name, as their price
emitting fabricatiOns, "Dlrect to
consumer from factory" offers,
@Outputs sold in a day" and
auction methods are gradually
becoming known to every one
interested in the purchase OF a
motor car.

men in the industry who were
wise enough to foresee that by
using proper business methods,
doing away with the enormous
waste and overhead expense
which had heretofore been a
characteristic feature of the
automobile game" as it was
called, that a medium priced
car could be produced if it
were made in large quantities
according to a careful design.
Later events proved that their
predictions were right. These
men made a car, gave good
value to the owners and were
successful, financially.
There were, however, other
men, some with very little ex-
perience in the industry, who
thought that this was such an
easy task that they could do
the same thing. They immedi-
ately began, therefore, to order
material for thousands of cars
erected factories over night
shipped their material in
carload lots by express and
started into the business also.
Such was the enormous de-
mand for cars at that time,
that for several months these
cars were sold in large quanti-
ties, in such large quantities,
in fact. that in order to keep
up with the demand, work was
done in tents, old buildings and
in fact in any way TO get out
the product. Everybody went
wild-there was great hurrah
promoters saw what they
thought was better than a gold
mine-capital was invested in
almost fabulous sums in enter
prises whose assets consisted,
mostly, of a bunch of blue
prints, a trademark name and
a smooth tongued, clever ad-
vertisement writer or salesman.
During the whole year Of
1908 the public fell for this
