The Motor Business.

Here is at last a new attraction for youth intent on starting in life. Young men are attracted to the motor business because they think it is almost entirely an open-air driving profession, and their elders second their ambitions because they believe there is so much money in it. They do not realise how comparatively few people have made money in the motor industry, and they do not appreciate the immense advantages which these pioneers have had or the immense sacrifices they have made. Nor do they know that they are in a venture which the majority of people would have said ten, nay six years ago, was a mad one. Any success they have earned has been hardly achieved, and many a man who started by their sides in the then infant industry has found the pace too hot for him, and has dropped out. The many who have failed or partly failed have been forgotten, but they outnumber those who have succeeded.
