There was d time not far back when Tic
motor car industry was unlike that of

The new year OF 1914 therefore sees a

seems to be IN store. The result OF the

Generally heathiul conditions Of the
conntr5 help make the situation one pre-
SAILING prosperity. Then. too, there IS the
ever widening scope OFT the market In
this country the farmer, happy with go2d
crops. is preparing u buy more hish
eradc cars than ever before thought pos
s,ble. &c now wants d standard car o.
high grade.
Then too there are the foreign mar
kets. which mean more IN 1914 than tncy
have ever meant 10 the American manu-
facturer OF motor cars. That is because
the nigh grade American car now COM
petes successfully with the European hlsh
grade cars.
Ina fact. it IS safe 10 say that such an
event as the winning Of the DeWar t'0-
phv bv an American car for the second
time will give the eNpor, business a pro-
nounced impetus, and the high grace
American car is destined 10 dominate the
foreign field as the American low prcco
cars have dominated il N other years
Therefore those who have developed
these fit survivors Of twelve feVerish
wears have nothing to fear during 1914.
