Automobile Manufacture in France.

Automobolism, directly or indirectly, maintains more people in France than almost any other industry. All the factories have tripled their output during the last three years, and manufacturers formerly making cycles now produce automobiles. At first Paris was the only city where automobiles were made, but now Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Lille, St. Etienne, Nantes, and Rouen have factories to supply local demands. By reckoning all the workmen in the various branches that are benefited by the automobile industry, a total is obtained of nearly 200,000 persons dependent upon iL—Cassler’s Magazine.
