tude. Some have come out frankly and
stated that the industry is founded on
the wrong hypothesis; that II will not
endure. Nothing Is further from the
facts.
The situation is merely this: Makers
are divided into two classes, quality
makers and quantity makers. In a few
instances the two inelinatfons can be
found embodied in a single individual.
The man who builds in a slap-dash fash
ion is foredoomed. That's why, up to
the present. many factories have failed.
Conditions. however, are rapidly set
Ting down. Conservative makers, with
previous manufacturing experience, are
getting a firmer hold on the industry
The man who thought that few monkey
wrenches, a little nerve, and a little
credit We're the sole requisites OF the
automobile manufacturing business is be-
ing supplanted by the calculating, sane
fellow who makes motor cars as care
fully as he would engage In the upbuild-

What is the answer?
In very few short years, the motor
industry is going to have Just as staple

is going to be purely one Of level headed
business methods in the manufacturing
system.
Briefly, the industry as a whole is not
a mushroom. II has grown from the
acorn. from the buggy and wagon bust
ness-and the clean racy 1872 motor car
and there you will find a few mush-
rooms, but the hot sun OF competition
and every day road grind will take care
OF them, and the great result will be I'M
affected-the contamination OF the most
robust industry that the commercial
world has ever known
Scores Of automobilists through the
South and Middle West are planning to
drive to Detroit to attend the celebration

Of the magnificent natural advantages
for a water fete offered in the automobile
city. Provisions are being made TO en-
terrain great crowds of visitors from an

make the event an annual one. and no

Two more former major league play
ers have been added to the lineup of
the Overland baseball team, which will
represent the willys-Overland Company.
OF Toledo, during the 1912 season. That
Manager Graham Farley intends to make
the Overland baseball team the strong
est aggregation of the semi-professional
teams in Northern Ohio, Is evidenced by
the strong team he is getting together.
Last week Farley signed two former
professional players who are well known
in baseballdom-Thurber Davis and Roy
Beecher. Davis caught for the Uuiver-
sity Of Michigan turing the 1867 seasons
and was behind The bat for Toledo in
the American Association during 1905.
Roy Beecher, who will alternate with
Pitcher Floyd KrOh, the former Chicago
Cub pitcher, was one OF John McGraw's
hurlers for the New York Giants four
