Fully Equipped Machines Of Class May Be Bought At Palace The Advancement in Construc- tion That Reduced the Cost of Cars ds Also Responsible for the Saving in the Care of Them. ———— HE wonderful etrides made in automobile construction is best seen in the big reduction in price of many cars exhibited at the National Automobile Show in Grand Central Palace. Several years ago it was almost impossible to pirchase & new, fully equipped -machin for less than $700. These same types, now greatly improved in many ways, may be bought for considerably less. Complete autos, cars that some class, may now be had for even less than $500, and the designers and builders declare that automobiles will steadily become cheaper. ‘The big change in prices has been made possi by the genius shown by designe who recently bave discovered ys to abolish many of the intricate parts of machines. This improvement permitted cars to be constructed more cheaply, which accounted for the substantial gains that buyers of autos now enjoy. ‘The advancement in construction that reduced the cost of cars also works for a saving in the upkeep care of machines.
