Fifteen years ago automobiles were a traveler's tale and a hobby for a few. Five years ago U.S. factories produced about 100000 cars per year. today 500000 cars yearly with total value over 600 million dollars. By 1905 prices dropped from 900 to 600 dollars, making cars cheaper than earlier models. In 1908 over 300000 Americans owned autos, and by summer one car for every 100 people was expected. Export motor trade topped 25000000 last year. Trucks grew from scarce to 40000 units serving 18000 owners, with growth outpacing the pleasure market. Automobile capital now rivals steel in scale. most workers are skilled in wholesome factories and well paid.
