Imagine stepping into a “snappy” model like the one. pictured above and sailing down Fifth avenue, New York. Immediately all records for traffic congestion would be broken. And’ yet there was a time when this car> represented the Nest in motor car construction and design. It_does a manufacturer good to look at'a picture ike this now @nd then because it recalls rather vividly the progress that the automotive indus: try has made. Back in November, 1895, the New York Times offered prizes. totaling $5,000 to the winning automobiles in a 100-mile road race.

A product of the factories of the Maxwell Motor Corporation of teenty years ago. But supposing the other 9,999,999 Fords were suddenly to appear and endeavor to get on the highway with Car No. 16,000,000. ed. One car failed to make provi- sion for six changes of batteries ana had to drop out. Another ‘‘wound a chain around it stanchion” and had to quit. Still another disabled its port engine and withdrew. Finally but one car was left: And that car began to melt away. The engine was packed with ice and after much difficulty the 100 miles were covered: But so much time was consumed that the judges .de- went home. ‘So when the winning car fintshedithere was no one pre- sent to witness It. Today. there are more than 15,000. 000 motor vehicles in use. Few in- dustries can point to such rapid progress. Well, there'd be a hurry call for all the traffic cops in the country and just how long it would take them to bring about any semblence of order no one could even guess. Anyway, tet’s give them the credit of doing a good ‘job’ and finally lining up all the 10,000,000 cars, six abreast, which would make a line 33 feet 9 inches across. Then even with the cars standing end to end they would cover the entire 3,305 miles of the famous highway and there would -be 1,161,920, cars entirely out of the picture unless the cops were not too tired to park them on either side of the road so they could see the rest of the family on parade.
