automotive statesmen, who, within
their own circle. have discussed n1u-
tual problems confronting them as
emissaries Of the country's greatest
industry, have taken upon their
shoulders the task of forming the au-
tomotive statesmen of the entire coun-

ganization to be known as the Ma

National Group Under Way.
These local salesmen for some time
have sensed in their own gatherings
the seed of something bigger, factor
which we'll might become n power for
good in an industry which so en-
phatically has demonstrated the basic
value and significance of capable or
ganization. They have felt that here
was an idea which should not be re-
stricted to n purely local field. but
which should have the opportunity of
drawing to it the thousands of men
the country over, who themselves
have realized the need for a body OF
their own and have looked about for
one in vain.
In other words, in this local move
ment, which now is in the process OF
becoming a national influence, IS
found the awakened group conscious
ness of the only remaining body in the
automotive field which until the pres

preston. 1t means that from the
manufacturer and the motorist and all
through every phase of the industry
there now stands an organization-or

welfare. And it is mutual welfare

are other conditions which affect

work together in the common cause.

and in this process the automobile

it now we'll may be said that the in
dustry which has done so much to
bring prosperity to the United States
is organized at fighting strength. The
last link in the chain has been forged.
With each individual unit of the whole
