THE NEW, NECESSARY AUTOMOBILE
Ever new notwithstanding annual repetition, the auto
lnobile show is before us again. The latest achievements in
automotive engineering, designing and construction chal
lenge our admiration. Before the eyes of the visitor is a
product that coul not hava been made a decade ago for
ten times the price now asked, and the average price of the
1928 model, it has been figured out, is only $953. All praise
to the mechanical ingenuity, architectural skill and business
management that combined to create such a vehicular tri
umph. Four-wheel brakes, high-compression -engine for road
speed up to seventy miles an hour, low center of gravity, long
wheel base, shock absorbers and a score of other improve
ments that make for the safety and comfort of the owner.
Over twenty million Americans now own automobiles, and he
who is prone to believe that the saturation point has dawn
ed should ponder the fact that in 1927 manufacturers spent
three hundred million dollars to expand their producing and
selling facilities. Exporting of cars is Hearing the million
mark yearly, with the high priced class gaining in favor.
Last year, according lo figures of the department of com
merce, exports of cars costing $1,200 to $2,000 increased
189 per cent in number and cars costing $2,000 up gained
63 per cent. The gain in exported cars below $1,200 in
price was much less. The domestic demand for automo
biles is well described by an eastern newspaper thus: "A
single car, once the dream of every American, is no longer
enough. Already 2,700,000 famjlje find two cars necessary
to complete happiness, according to d survey made by the
National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, and this al
though the 'two-car market' has hardly been exploited. Even
the farmer must have his two cars one for pleasure and
one for hard, workaday use. The truth is that our mode
of living is profoundly influenced in over new ways by the
cheap, fast, durable and now indispensable automobile. What
was onceui luxury has becomea utility'i m . 1 1 1 n n i ;

1 There ia psychology about advertising and non-adver
tising that is; not generally jonsidercd( i ,'1,'he advertiser iij
yitqs trade or, at least, inspection. If the inspection .is fa
vorable and his statements found to bo true, trade is almost
Sure to follow. The non-advertiser invites nothing, except
ing indifference and n possible suspicion. His failure to tell
the public' about 'his goods, prices, etc., causes the public
either to forget him or to form the idea that his goods are
not worth advertising. It is necessary to keep your mer
chandise, your services or whatsoever you are selling, alive
in the public mind. The fact that your product is excellent
is not sufficient to sell it. The excellent product always is
matched by something else just as good. If your just-as-good
competitor advertises and you do not, he is sure to out
' sell you. The public insists upon being told. The more it is
told, the moro it is sold. f v .

Over here we don't care much whom the president
names as his secretary of war, so long as he is an honorable
num. We don't anxiously question whether he is a friend
or a foe of the republic. We don't ask whether ho will make
the army a lance to pierce th country or a buckle to shield
it. We just know he will be all right. IHit things have not
yet come to that happy issue in (lennany. Hence all the
Cermans are greatly excited over the fact that Lieutenant
General Wilhelm; Groener, a professional soldier, has been
made minister of defense, largely duo to the intervention
and pressure of President Hindenburg. Otto dressier, the
man Groener succeeds, was nominally a member of the Ger
man Democratic party, but he lias been held by all 1 'Mentis
of the republic to have lent himself to ewry niovo calculated
to perpetuate the caste system in the Ileidiswelir a:;d to
make it amenable to monarchist plots. So they are hop
ing great things of Greener, even ihomsli lie bo a soldier, l-'or
it was Groener who told thu ex-i;:iiiT some plain truths.
It was he who helped had the Gevr.an army back to the
Fatherland after the armistice. It v. as he who opposed the
Kapp "putsch" whose object was to overturn the republic.
If Groener makes the Ileichswehr n truly republic army. Iu?
will deal a death blow to all the Ihm:cs u, the monarchist
