Tbe many arguments regarding the term "pleasure cars' takes one bark to the early days In the automobile In dustry. It was la le that I entered the au tomobile trade as cashier (or the Thomas R Jeffery Comparer's branch at Sun Francisco. The automobile was then looked upon aa the rich man's toy. and I recall the advice of one of rrisco a prominent men that I was taking a mistake and wasting my lime by taking up such work. That the business was of mushroom growth and could not last, and I would soon have lo return, as he expressed tt. "to a legitimate line." but la the II rOn ecutlve years I have been In this busi ness I have seen It im through the various stages to Its present command In a position, and (ram classing It aa i -rich man's game" and a "pleasure car" my Krlsco friend.

It waa true In the early daya that the auto bualnees waa conducted on rather fast and loose plan. While some were apparently making large profits few were able to show a net gain at the end of the yrar. The banks were generally cautious In advancing money ts carry the bu-tnesa.

The Bulck Motor Company at Flint. Mlch the world's lareest automobile factory, la probably the greatest ex ponent of efficiency In the t nlted .states, and it la due to this and the re fined development of a correct prln- Iple the "valve-ln-head motor that the Bulck car has today the enviable position of being- "the most desired car In the world." Manufacturing efficiency alcne. how ever, could not have accomplished this; tt must bo coupled with efficient dis tribution and service. The policy of C. S. Howard, as ex pressed through his several branches of the Howard Automobile Company, f-afther exemplifies this efficiency breucht down to the consumer, aa throuxh his organisation Bulck service covers the entire Pacific Coast. This policy has been one of the potent fac tors which has proved to the business man that the term "pleasure car" is a misnomer, for today the motor car. In all Its varied forms. Is one of the world's greatest assets and means more for efficiency and economy than any other one commodity.
