a, car with the" standard 55 inch,
tread to meet your road conditions
especially. In the country where
the width of tread has ibeen deter
mined by the width ot the ruts in
the road.
"We Jiave been satisfied with
smaller .bodies than those which
the , American " car baying public
most have. .So I look for the light
ear in America to hare the same
commodious body spaed which you
have enjoyed in the past. s
"Braking, safety will also re
ceive ' the utmost consideration in
the development Of .your light car
design. Never have I seen such
traffic as I have witnessed In tyOur
major . cities. New j York. . Boston
Phlladeplphla, Chicago San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles. : The light car
with a. high speed" motor, capable'
of quick acceleration will speed, up
your traffic lines materially; but
it will require a high development
of the four wheel brake.' This will
be an important ' factor iq your
newer achievements in light car
design. ' ' " ' s
"The condition of stable equili
brium, or balance in the car: will,
probably result in lower Swung'
todies than have; yet been pro
duced in your great mass produc
tion, of light cars.- Steps "along
this line have' already been taken
but' they have not 1 even approxi
mated the final results which will
be in evidence before very long..',-.
"If I were asked to describe the
mail light: car of : the future . in
America, basing my description en
tirely on what I have learned' from
your own engineers with whom I
have - talked in the ' past f few
months, I should say that it will
ba entirely different from any
thing we. have In Europe In gen
eral body- dimensions and frankly,
considering ahead, of our production-in
certain basic mechanical
principles. 1 At the 'same time I
should say that it will be material
ly, different from what you are
building at the present. time.
" 'tWithin a year, perhaps within
the next few; months,-1 expect to
see an American light car capable
of speeds up to 60 miles an hour
with an average fuel consumption
under ordinary conditions, of
around .30 miles to the gallon
This car will be- powered with,, a
four cVlinder engine of small bore
and'; long stroke and. to meet .the
conditions under which it will be
operated.;:, this ' motor will be
equipped with a drilled crankshaft
and other mechanical features of
the finest quality and design. Tour
the finest quality and design.' Tour
engineers have already told me
this much.-
t "It will be lower In appearance
than any car yet presented to the
American car buyingpublic; yet It
will have' all the road clearance
needed for any 'driving , and' the
body will be as roomy as any you
have ever been accustomed to.
"The seats, both front and rear,
will conform to ; the dimensions
which have become 'standard In
your country. In comfort this car
will be far ahead of our standard
light cars. . t;';"; -
"In appearance It will be quite
unique for ; it ' will be IndlTidual
and I have every reason to believe
that It will be strikingly, hand
some In outline. V- -i; v ; .
li: "In city driving. It will present
parking advantages that are. quite
foreign to you at the present time.
i wiU' offer acceleration. which
will be considerably' different In
the flexibility of operation It wiU
afford.' I believe, I am within the
bounds of safety when I say that
It will serve materially to relieve
the present problem of congestion
In your larger cities. ' : '--t J' J
"In country driving it will be
found admirably suited for long
distance tours because of its econ
omy. It high speed, possibilities, its
great tire mileage and its notice
able hill climbing ability. " -. '
V "On your mountain roads it will
be aspecially pleasing because of
Its' ease" ot control short turning
radius and ability to take curves
at good speed .and with great road
stability. . ' . '- - '
: "Those features of European
design" which have come as the re
sult of road racing conditions will
be incorporated in your, new light
car design. Road raeing is a far
better criterion of design value
than track . racing. In Europe we
like to travel fast when we are
driving and so we have incorpor
ated in our cars the features which
have been developed through road
racing. v These advantages will
come to 'you in the development in
lighter, car construction and your
cars of this type in the near future
will be able to set road averages
which will be comparable with $.nd

"The' absence of. a big , home
market for cars produced in Eng
land has resulted in a lack of ne
cessity for planning far ahead, oh
production " in 'our country. We
have been able to incorporate, de
velopments almost as soon as they
have been proved worth? adopting.
In America, especially in the light
car field you have always planned
construction on the basis nf a min

great quantities. Tou will also go

ways been characteristic of your
productions. expect that the
light .car of Europe which readily
brings the equivalent of $1500 will
see its brother in America priced
at somewhere around half this
figure.
"With certain - very minor
changes, this ear will be admirably
suited to the European market and
will undoubtedly be disposed of in
great quantities here and in Con
tinental Europe.
We have always admired Am
erican tvi lit cars for their comfort
and luxury while deploring their
woeful lack of economy as judged
by our standard.
"We will have nothing to de
plore when the car, which is loom

country, finally makes its appear

"Tou will have a light car
which, in length of life and in ex

owners as a long time investment
in comfort and convenience, quite
like all other things are bought.

Americans In Europe admire our
light cars and express the belief
that they must sooner or later be
duplicated, at least in performance

Concentration on JwoStyIes
in Cars Is Accompanied
by Lower Cost :,:
f Thomas Edison, the inventor
and manufacturer, once gave' the
following rule on how to give best
value In business: '
"If I were a manufacturer;' I
should go over my lines to dis
cover what the public most want
ed out of what I was already mak
ing. ' - i
"If I were making five, styles
and found that 75 per cent of my
business was done in one style
(and that is usually the case),
then I should manufacture! two
styles, certainly not more than
three, and should turn my atten
tion to making my selling price
the other fellow's cost.
To which is added by P. W. 'Pet
tijohn, Hudson-Essex dealer:
"Hudson-Essex adopted and
aeted on this poMcy long before
Edison phrased it Efforts are
concentrated on the fewest num
ber of body types in the industry.
The public has followed with great
interest the wonderful economics
which this specialization (combin
ed with. big volume) has brought
about." -
