The great question before us is-does
the new model and new series create
business? The concern referred to earlier
as not conforming to the annual model

cial success in the industry, and 1t has
done more, it has developed more first
buyers and has spread the influence OF
the automobile more than am half dozen
other concerns. This concern is referred
to because CT the fact that their policy

with annual models or annual series.
a great deal has been said about dis
turbing the situation and keeping the
commercial side in turmoil. There Is
another condition which we must bear in
mind today and did not apply ten years
ago. At that time our cars possessed SO
many features that proved to he incor-
rect that one change, though an error
wasn't conspicuous and didn't count for
much. but with the commercially perfect
automobile of today the maker who
makes a change without thoroughly prov
ing that it is a benefit takes chance
of making big error, mistake to-
day looms up worse than Il sore thumb

During this period the annual model
acted a guide to the buyer of the new

great changes were made from Year 10

early days. In other words one years

Ability to Give Service.

Let us note the secret of their ability
to give service at SO low a cost and small
an investment to the purchaser. Is it
not to be found in the fact hat this con-
Germ produces only one model and has
produced one particular model for more
than one year?
What I &C sire to bring out is the fact
that changes are expensive. and we can
get in the habit of making changes which
not only incur expense Blu. ofutimes are
unnecessary. When make changes
does it not generally mean the abandon
ing of certain jiss, tools and equipment.
and it may mean also the sacrificing of
the stock on hand, while the absence of
changes means increased production from
a given equipment and a given amount
of tool cost. &c
Changes are expensive in man. ways.

of time to produce the best OF work and

Experience of Others.

We can we'll afford to note the eX-
perience of other industries which have
travelled the same path we are going.
have in mind the bicycle business. The
development of the bicycle and the b.
cycle business has been surpassed only
by the automobile. The American-b,Iit
bicycle in the year o. was universally
regarded as commercially perfect and
probably the best BICYCLE the world had
ever seen. however, the BICYCLE was under
the spell of the annual me9el craze, such
as has afflicted the automobile business
and the makers had grown to feel that
they must make a change from year to
year. The bicycle makers had educated
the public t. expect changes The BIZ
cycle Of % was an evolution. and its de-
velopment had been almost as spectacular
as has been that of the automobile. The
standard bicycle of 80 weighed twenty
three pounds aE,1 its frame was made
OF small d ameter tubing. but the fashion
for ST called for large tubing. Some one
had started the fashion. The public de-
manded that the weight of twentythree
pounds be maintained
LAS a result of this change more than
one maker found most Improbable year

in the history of the business l can
name one maker who built 21,eD bicycles

enOoO bicycles. He did build D033
frames delivered 5000 bicycles. and sent
out more than two frames for every hi
cycle. AS u result this increased business
was done at loss of only 500 coo. as
against $.sst.00o profit, and l maintain
that this was unnecessary and at;ribu-
table to the annual model?

wonderful strides have been made i'm spite
of the obstacles which have been thrown
in the way. The progress is to be credit
ed to the meriterious performance of the

ough and practical way outstripped
everything with which il has been in
competition. The accomplishments have
been phenomenal. but to Illustrate point
let's note the particular type and the
particular make of car which has enjoy ed
most of the expanding market and
brought the greatest profit to those be-
hind it. The concern referred to is, i be-
lieve. the one concern which has never
adopted the practice of annual models.
