fight with Mexico. But he would
print nice stories about the soldiers

did nothing to support the British

we gain anything by sending an army

& VERY few days something happens
d to call the attention of the think.

'EhI lew uays something happens
= to call the attention of the think
ing men to the tremendous growth
OF the motor car industry. Fifteen
years ago an automobile was a toy.
Ten years ago it had been so far per-
fected that far-seeing business men
had become interested in the business.
Since that time thousands of engineers
the world over have devoted their time
and intellect to the building and per-
fecting of motor cars, trucks and trac-
tors so that now almost every man,
woman or child knows something about
the gasoline driven vehicle.
Automobiles and trucks, to say moth
ing of motorcycles, have become so
common on the streets and roads that
they have ceased to attract any par
ticular attention. But even with all
this there are few people who realize
to what an extent this industry has
already grown.
AS near as figures can be gathered
according to the leading motor maga
zines whose authority is not questioned
there is in present use practically mil
lion and half automobiles and the
amount Of money invested in this
enormous number of machines could
hardly be estimated. Probably fifteer
hundred dollars as an average first
cost would be low, but this amount
totals more than the entire produc
tion Of gold since Columbus discovered
America.
The Automobile Trade Journal in ;
recent issue, makes an estimate in it I
editorial column that the amount o.
money spent this year, 1914, for pleas
ure machines alone, will be six hun
dred and ninety million dollars, ant
this takes no account of trucks or trac
tors. This is almost seven dollars pei
capita for every man, woman and chile
under the American flag. 1t is surely
a wonderful business to be built up il
practically ten years.
The same authority goes on to state
that at least one hundred and fifty
million dollars of this enormous sun
is being expended this year for light
cheap cars, of the class represented by
the Ford, and it is interesting in this
connection to follow out the reason
for this great demand for cheap cars
Primarily the small light car is not ;
pleasure car, for while there are thou
sands of them sold for that purpose
they are rather an allpurpose car de
signed for business uses and utilized
for pleasure incidentally. The cheap
