large automobile to run 100 miles will be
of more Interest in some parts of the
country than his statement that his
worklngman's concrete palace- is a suc

piece, even If it Is very cheap. The high
price of city lots, for Instance, is not
overcome by the cheap building Invented
by Edison. But if he has perfected a stor
age battery that will run a vehicle 100
miles at very small expense, he has con
