With the atandard five and seven
passenger touring cars once established
the designers next started In trying
to bring about styles that would fit
the needs of all. The first need to be
met was that of the speed loving young
man who desired a two passenger
roadster for pleasure. This low hung,
heavy car, with Its powerful engine
reigned for n time.
At first this car was manufactured
only as a heavy speed car. Now It la
made Into a light, easily handled car,
usually of short wheal base and of ex
cellent service for use In the crowde.
city streets. Many business men use
this two passenger car.
The next creation was tha toy ton
neau. probably the prettiest of them
all. The toy tonneau Is a four pas

also has a classy car. Three blue toy

facture, another fray, tha property of
Harry U Corbalt, a brown with lighter

Locomobiles of neat dealgn are also
owned here,

line. A Knox gray tonneauette ta an

signers are two yeara ahead of the
forelgnera and their latest creation,
the torpedo body, is aa yet untouched
by foreigners.
American construction of bodies can
be traced back to the days of the old

These cars were crude in the utmost,
the wheels being only counterparta of
tha bicycle wheels. Since then these
wheels have given away to short
