About this book
Story of the Automobile by H. L. Barber carries the subtitle Its History and Development from 1760 to 1917. The preface says that, so far as the writer knows, there is no book in circulation that tells, in concise form, the story of the mechanical and commercial evolution of the automobile. The preface adds that the book forecasts the future possibilities of the automobile industry as an investment.
The text says it has taken the automobile a hundred and fifty years to arrive mechanically at the point it has reached today. The text states that the Reo Motor Car Company has paid over $50,000 on an investment of $1,000. Under the heading Dealers Put Up Their Own Money, the text says it would be unjust not to mention the aid that automobile dealers gave the early financiering of the automobile industry.
