art and a new science-and new and
virlle literature. 1t already is one of our
greatest Industries.
There has never been an invention in
the history of the world, not even the
printing press that is destined to have
more marked effect upon civilization.
II is developing the power of Imagination

Try Centering at Detroit.

The Commerce Motor Car Company, OF
Detroit, and the Signal Motor Truck
Company, of Detroit, manufacturers OF
commercial vehicles and trucks. have
been merged into the Signal-Commerce
Motor Truck Company, under holding
company OF ss.oooooo capitalization and
backed by Detroit capital
This announcement was made by
Thomas Neal. who will head the new
combination in association with present
executives of the two companies and
other men OF wide experience in the COM
mercial vehicle field. Mr.. Neal was for
merly president OF the General Motors.
While the merger will be operated un-
der a holding company until present con-
tracts are filed 1t Is the intention ulti-
ulately to combine them In one complete
plant. There is ground for belief that
eventually the merger will include GER
tain motor truck accessory Arms.
The executives OF the new organization
start with the declared intention Of max
ing Detroi as big a factor in the motor
truck field as It is now in the pleasure
car branch Of the industry. The strength
of the two companies that have merged
and the scope OF their operations would
seem amply to warrant such an ambition.
Both the commerce and the signal have
been remarkably successful and prosper
Gus and by uniting will have facilities for
manufacturing and marketing trucks
from the half-tone type to the ffve-ton,

MANUFACTURE DECREASING.
Autos Making Inroads Into Wagon
Industry,

The inroads Of the automobile into the
carriage and wagon industry during ths
period from 1909 to 1914 were greater In
respect to pleasure vehicles than those
used for business purposes. In 1903. &C
cording to statistics gathered by the
United States Bureau Of the Census, car
riages represented 532 per cent ant
wagons 39.7 per cent of all vehicles made,
but in 1914 the proportion represented by
carriages had declined to Al per cent
while that represented by wagons had In
creased to 49, per cent.
In the preparation OF the 1914 census
Of manufacturers Of carriages and wag-
ons and Of bodies, tops, cushions, hubs,
felloes. spokes, wheels, and other ma
terials used IN the production Of the
complete vehicles, reports were received
from $50 establishments. which manufac-
tured LIS, ,oo2 vehicles OF all classes, val
ued at s2, ,2ss, ,sss. At the 1900 census there
were reported 5.613 establishments, with
an output Of 1.5s4,5n vehicles, valued at
s94O6 900. The number Of establishments
thus decreased during the hve-year period
by 2sS, the number of vehicles by 3s7, ,5ss
and the value by 81, 754,0 002

MAXWELL Price
CUT SURPRISES
Trade Generally Expected an
Increase for the Present
Auto Season.

Sometimes there is a surprise In the
motor car industry that is funny only
to a very few. Often the surprise is per
petrated to the chagrin of some particular
person. But the Maxwell Motor Company
seems TO have sprung surprise and yet
to have made really enjoyable bit OF
pleasure out Of It for all concerned
During the months Just previous to the
companys 1917 announcement there was
Q continual flood OF letters into the Of
nces Of the Maxwell Motor Company. ask

In every letter there was this question
How much will the price be raised?''
The dealers were SO sure Of the raise

anything else. They wanted TO know

much more they would have TO get from
their purchasers. And also many Of the
wise old owls who are always 70 be found

Then imagine the surprise when the
Maxwell Company announced one Of the
greatest reductions IN price since the es-
tatiishment OF the company. They
couldn't believe it-it simply couldn't be
true. Again the kilograms began TO pour
