Who is this newcomer in the ranks of the nation's capitalists? He is the maker aqd seller of a toy—of the most popular toy of the ages. With a hand of magic he devised that modern sen sation and wonder the"*, automobile, and he proclaimed its merits so effec tively that he has swept the nation into a frenzy of buying. So great has been the success attending his efforts that if he should be able%uring 1910 to meet the demand already made up on him for hie product he could truth fully boast a volume of business near to a quarter of a billion .dollars. As it looks now, his probable production for the coming of twelve months, accord ing to conservative estimate, will reach a total of around $160,000,000. And for his* entire output—if he lives up to his reputation—he will get CASH! Now the maker of the automobile •has purchased the typical American policy in placing his product upon the market through the independent re tailer, but he has not "financed" his distributing agencies. As 'a matter of fact, from the beginning, the dis tributing agencies have "financed" him. With ttfeir contracts for cars the agents .have been compelled .to surrender a considerable bonus to the manufacturer and to pay in ready money the remainder due when the care are. delivered. The automobile maker has been "getting the cash' and with this cash he has built up his marvelous industry. iThere is much speculation today as to whether the price of the motor car will remain where it is. Many pre dict that the. day of overproduction is, not far off that we ehall before long see automobiles a drug on the market and the price cut almost In two. People point back to the bicy cle and declare that motor car Manu facturers will be as anxious to dis pose of their product as were the mak ers of the two-wheeled pleasure veri cle—that they will strike out on a des perate hunt for buyers that when the realization comes that the number of consumers is limited, competition OF D£VUJ LAKE e/rtlr' mt'/VA. iAX- Off tee IE •vM" r7'* --5. 4V X0' I 4W- iM -»a^®f 4 will loosen up the terms and hammer down the cloMng figures of a bargain. To those, however, who .fire closely following the development of the mo tor car business such a culmination seems hardly probabie. Organization, consolidation of forces, is Incessantly at work in this new industry. With the passing of the ownership and con trol of accessory plants turning out the more essential parts into the hands of the big makers, the compe tition of the emall producpr—who is merely an-assembler of parts—will be come nominal, only* and may be en tirely wiped out in case of any sud den slump in,4be demand. The "pow- ers that be" will regulate the supply to meet the capacity of the public to consume. Thus the price of-the pro duct will remain where it is, enabling the motor car magnate to continue to reap bonanza, dividends based on his expanded" capitalization.
