"Progres obtained by work of the hardest kind has brought the auto- motive industry within a quarter of a century from virtually nothing to the commanding place in the indus- | trial life of the country." Now that first place has been attained, there should be no tendency to sit back satisfied. This attitude must pot be assumed if the industry is to retain its leading position. The commercial history of this country is replete with instances of manufacturers who felt that they had arrived -and could rest content only later to be rudely awakened by some young vigorous rival who recognized the principle that to succeed you must progress. Every 'year for two de- cades the leading automobile manu- facturers have brought out what they honestly believed was the best car in its price class, and felt that it copld not be excelled." Yet within 12 oaths their own engineers have proved that the product could be im- prove.d. And so it has gone on, each year seeing bétter automobiles and so it will continue as long as it is pos- sible to make improvements: ""Years ago the Buick Motor Co. took for its slogan. "When Better Automobiles. are built, Buick will Build Them." This was not selected as a vainglorious boast, but was pre- dicted on the well defined policy that Buick intends bettering its product by the adoption of such improve- ments as continuous experience may "develop. " / ? Maybe the perfect automobile is yet to be built. No one can say how coveted result. * Extensive research will reveal this, and this fact is re- cognized by the more progressive manufacturers who are constantly' 'striving to make a better car, This <has been the policy of the Buick Motor Co, and it will continue as such. The large engineering and research staff of the Buick are con- stantly "working to create better Buicks, as the progress better Buicks will be built. It is a good thing for the industry as a whole. that there is a tendency to discard 'the habit" of ma changes merely for the sake of hav- ing a change. But this extendéd to the = curtailment of real improve- ments from year to year' would mean but one thing ultimately---that the automotive industry would start slip- ping backward, for it is a truism that nothing stands still, we: must con- -tlose or how far we are from 'that = bh tinue to go Fiforwanf or 80 backward. - Te
