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 predom-
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 tion. 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

Reasons for Good Cheer
Are Given by Citizens

Among the visitors at tho show was
II. A. Githens general sales manager OF
the Federal Rubber Company, who q
few weeks ago finished a trip that took
him to about all the important trade
centres of the country. On tho strength
Of what he learned on this trip he
said yesterday:
at is going to be a big year in the
automobile trade perhaps the most
active year in the history of the bust
ness. Any one who has studied the
situation from the standpoint Of popu
lar demand for cars cannot help but
voice the same opinion.
at is to be regretted that individuals
have issued more or less gloomy pre-
dictions concerning the near future OF
the industry. AS a rule. they know
nothing about the real situation. Per
haps their own particular territory is
undergoing an unusually quiet season,
which may be due to various things
such as freight congestion, pro German
influences, and so on.
"But if they were acquainted with
the real facts their pcssmistic attitude
of optimism. The automobile is dcS-
tined to play a bigger part in the
affairs of men. at war and at home,
during the next twelve months than it
has ever played in the past.
with horses and mules becoming
scarcer and scarccr, due to the ire
mendous war drain on the supply since
1914 thousands and thousands Of farm
crs are turning to motor vehicles io!
relief.
"With railway transportation facili-
ties absolutely inadequate TO accom-
modatc the requirements Of the ship
ping world. thousands Of additional
cars are being constantly placed into
overland freight distribution.
"With coal shortage seriously af-
fccting intorurban ard city railway
lines. the automobile has been drafted
into transportation service On the big
gest scale Of its history.
"With countless tons Of food. equip
ment. munitions and medical relief
and so on being rushed to our men at
the front, motor vehicles are the only
practicable medium Of transportation
for that purpose. Horses are too slow
Railroads are insufficient.
"Those are only very few OF tho
reasons why the demand FOR cars has
reached such huge proportions. and yet
those requirements alone. accompanied
By normal demand for passenger
vehicles. would keep the industry
working at high speed for months t(
come.
"The automobile manufacturer:
have assurance Of the cooperation o
the governments; they face an cnor
nous demand for their product; thu
raw materials and parts situations ap
pear to be adequate for all require
ments. Therefore is it not cntrel,
logical to predict that 1918 is going t.
set new records in automobile produc
ton and sales?'
