Origin Of the Bloodhound

The bloodhound is commonly be-
lieved to be derived from the Talbot
(the ancestors Of the true hounds>
and thus from the St. Hubert of the
Ardennes.
The latter dates from very early
times, certainly from those of the
Gauls. In the eighth century it was
called the Flemish hound, Of which
there were two strains, known as
the black (black and tan) and the
white. st. Huberts were brought to
England at the conquest and again
in the time of James I. They were
deep-voiced dogs with great powers
of scent.

in the country. When you stop to
think of it, you find that in the city
where an industry is given birth il
seems TO be easy to secure additional
capital-in fact. capital in abundance
and that is what has happened in
Detroit and vicinity. Several years
ago Detroit capitalists were shrewd
enough to see the future OF the auto
mobile and invested generously. And
what is true of Detroit is true Of Ak
ron.
Akron capitalists and promoters, in
turn, have centered their efforts in or
ganizing tire companies and Akron

automobile industry. Detroit and vi
cinity maintains the leadership in the
manufacture of automobiles.

The demand is normal II not little

politics will interfere with business

The easy days of the automobile
manufacturer are over. Companies to-
day conduct their business differently
than they did three or four years ago.
They are more alert. They watch
the market closer They know what
each competitor is figuring on for the
next season and they keep in touch
with conditions in general. This is
necessary, of course, for the situation
is changing every day and the pro-
gressive manufacturer must not only
keep abreast OF the times, but must
have the foresight to look into the
future.
There is one notable phase, which
must be evident to each manufacturer
and that is the remarkable rapidity
with which the public acquaints itself
with new accessory or equipment

as any year since the birth of the mo.

This year, as every year since the

The development Of the automobile
industry has been as rapid as to make
the whole world wonder. To think
that an industry only 20 years old
should have reached the gigantic pro
portions that it has today with its
hundreds of millions invested is little
short OF phenomenal. No wonder it is
one of the chief topics of conversation
in commercial circles.
The one important reason for Its
advancement is that the automobile
found a ready place on account of il
being a necessity in this age and, sec
ondly. because motor cars have i'm
