Why is it that the Ford Motor Co. will have sold 150,000 cars of one model by the end of 1912? a : Answer: : Because the Ford Model T. has past the experimental stage construction. The manufacturer who announces a new model yearly, announces also the effort he is making in J experimenting, and a comparison of his 1911 and 19-12 specifications lay bare his steps for better or worse. ■ ■ He is groping in a state of chaos, g Whv buv and experiment’ Do you do it in buyinga binder or mowing machine, or does the un- J 2 deriving principle of any standard make remain unchanged for the past five or more years,, incorporating ■ refinements only from time to time?
