A Story With a Moral. The bulk of the automobile business of the United States is concentrated in three middle-western states ?Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Just why this great industry came to choose this section of the country for the location of its factories is an interesting story, and it has a moral. Industries founded on new inventions have a way of starting small. Alexander Winton, a Cleveland man, was really the first to put the automobile on a commercial basis. While others were still experimenting he began manufacturing. He sold his twelfth car to J. W. Packard, a piano manuiaeiv rer 01 Warren, Ohio. Packard saw great possibilities in the business, and began casting about for financial backing. Detroit offered the most encouragement, and to Detroit he went. The Michigan city was ambitious, and the bankers were willing to take a chance on this new industry. The success of one plant led others to assume risks. Mechanics from these pioneer fartories started up for themselves in barns and sheds. Soon the barns grew into steel structures, and then the steel structures began to sprawl over acres. Orders for automobiles came to Detroit faster than was anticipated. The makers Hfcgan placing orders for parts in Cleveland and other nearby cities where plants were already in operation and equipped for just this type of work. The automobile parts business in Cleveland is of enormous proportions, and no small percentage of the money that goes to Detroit in payment for cars flows back to Cleveland and other nearby cities in payment for frames, wheels, axles, rims, batteries, forg ings, etc. Akron is the center of the rubber business because a man named Goodrich started a rubber plant there. His success prompted employees to break away and open up t'hem selves. The moial is 'that natural advances co no* entirely govern the tieof a city. .?ve and progressive citizenship is the vital factor. A city that contains a few bold, courageous and brilliant men will succeed in spite of natural handicaps. o Why is it the small customer always demands more service than a big one?
