The progress of mankind, from the earliest recorded ages,' has been'
marked, by a ceaseless struggle against the limitations of time and space.
Civilization is mutual interchange of thought and the product of
thought. This interchange demands transportation, hence the develop
ment of civilization has paralleled the improvements in transportation,-
A useful lifetime should not be measured in hours lived, but in deeds
done. Doubling man's productive capacity offers the same net result
, as doubling his period of usefulness or doubling the
number of producers. ,'
More than any other single factor of civilization, the
automobile has multiplied the producing power of
' man, by decimating time and distance, and by provid
ing a broad and flexible means for the transportation
' of men and their products. .'"'",.

The amazing growth of the automobile industry could
not have been, had not the automobile' more 'than
justified itself as an economizer of manpower, a stinr
ula"tor of production and a creator of wealth.
