Bic CHANCE FOR
AMERICAN CARS
While Europe Is at War,
Americans Have Chance
to Establish Trade.

''The war Will give American automC-
bile manufacturers a tremendous ad-
vantage over their foreign COMPETE
tors" said Ernest =. Leverett, manag-
ing director Of the Long Acre Auto Car
company. limited. of London. England
one Of the biggest men in the English
motor world, who is at present visiting
this country
The development OF the motor car
has practically come to a standstiu in
England and France because the war
has stopped the manufacture Of all cars
except those especially built for war
purposes. Thousands Of the best me-
chanies and scores Of expert automo-
bile construction men are 1t the front
fighting for England and France. Hun
dreds Of them have already been slain
and hundreds more will never come
back This means that the best brains
that have been devoted to the English
and French automobile industries viii
be lost for all time and that new men
will have TO be developed after the
cessation OF the present conflict. And
vaded by the manufacturers conse-
quently is lost 10 them for the time
being
In America the automobile industry
is flourishing today as il never did be-
fore, Your best worlzmen. your highest
class engineers are -on the job" rs you
say, every day. The American automo-
bile is being made better all the time
because new Ideas Of motor cOnstruc-
tion are being worked out and put into
execution.
There can only be one result OF this
condition of affairs. The American au-
tomObile is going to be the worlds
standard and they viii have every mar
ket IN the world at their mercy"
