tfcken n n matter of course In tho equip
ment of tho modern car,
Such well-known features as foredoors,
disappearing tops, electric starters and
tho like were undr6amed of then; not so
for the moderate price. Men who were bis
enough to realize, when the motor Indus
try was In Its Infnncy, that succesi of tho
business lay In mnklnR the nutomoblle
an essential rnther than a luxury rec
ognized then that moderato prlco was the
only answer.
The nrosress of the last ten years has
brought n, dream to a reality. It Is not
that there have not always been chenp
cars before the public. There was the old
Orient TJuckbonrd for one, and a most
successful product wns the early model
Oldsmoblla that steered with a lever.
The first car thnt wns In any way mod
ern that came within tho calesory of tho
moderate-priced enrs of today, wns the
Hupmoblle. It sold for IT50. It showed
the way to others Until Mr. Ford devised
his ear-that la too well knoun to mention
In detail.
Hut the Held wns not to be his exclu
sively for Ion. Today thero nro a num
