My soldiers growing vehement

parts But 10 radical changes arc
noted.
Last year the appearance Of steam
car excited a great deal Of attention.
and during the past year a number OF
engineers in and out Of the industry
have been working on the steam en-
gnc, but nothing definite in the way
Of a steam car on big manufacturing
scale has developed.
Price Of motor cars has been the big
factor in so far as the public is con-
cerncd. The inability to get material
has been the big problem Of the manu-
facturer. Two years ago the FREEDOM
mating feature was the big reduction
in the list prices; but a year ago the
price pendulum began to swing the
other way, and to-day this is the most
important factor in the automobile
business. brought about by increased
cost OF materials and labor.
1t can truthfully be said for the ma
iortv of manufacturers that although
the price tendency has been upward
the prices have not advanced in pro
portion to the cost of various metals
and other materials used. The value
given to the automobile purchaser un-
der present conditions is relatively
greater than ever. when the many
minor rctinements and improvements
in mechanical details and body work
are taken into considcra ton. The
manufacturer has kept down to the
minimum his production and merchan-
dising expense. and still his returns
show smaller profits the past year than
! in any season in the industrys history.
The King Motor Car Company has
kept pace with the industry in develop
ments. Pioneers in thc~use Of the left
