BUT SIX YERAS OLD


The development OF beauty In the
lines OF automobiles did not really be-
gin until 1913 according TO Stewart
Mcdonald. president and general man
ager OF the Moon Motor Car company,
Of st Louis. Prior to that time, says
Mcdonald. the efforts Of automobile
manufacturers were entirely along the
line of mechanical development and the
bodies used were mere notifications
of carriage bodies and most Of them
were distinctly ugly and ungraceful.
The Moon factory, was among the
very first In this country said Me-
Donald, ito come out with full stream

pioneer in high-grade body construc-

All the manufacturers Of being the first
In this country to put on fore doors.
