Arnheim, one of the founding members of the Society of Automotive Historians, passed away on April 17th, after a long illness . Al is best remembered for his book, 11 What Was the 11 McFarlan? , which was co-authored by Keith Marvin. We have lost a dedicated and highly respected historian and a good friend. He wil 1 be sorely missed, and our sympathy goes out to his family and friends . =========== It is with conside rable pleasure that I announce that David Brownell has accept­ ed the position of Chairman of the Monographs Committee. Dave, as I am sure most of you know, i s Editor of OLD CARS, the monthly newspaper of the antique car hobby. He has done a spectacular job of developing and editing the newspaper, and has an excel­ lent insight into what people in the hobby want - and how to present it to them. I feel that his background, and interest in automotive history, make him particularly suited to the task of Chairman of this committee .

KING CHARLES CLIFTON ELWOOD HAYNES ALEXANDER WINTON THE DECORATION OF THE PIONEERS, JANUARY 6, 1925 In recognition of their services to the automobile industry during the first quarter century of its history, these men were decorated with silver medals at the Silver Anniversary Dinner of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Their names were chosen from a list, supplied by the Smithsonian Institu- tion, of the Americans who had contributed the most to the mechanical development of the motor car. Included in the picture is Charles Clifton, who as president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce acted as host during the ceremony. Not in the picture, but decorated also, was R. E. Olds.

SHAW COMPANY PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE THIS book attempts to trace the economic and com- mercial growth of the American automobile industry. Manufacturing methods and processes are discussed only as a background for the proper understanding of market and financial developments. A companion volume now in preparation will deal more fully with the history and problems of mechanical invention and factory organization. Because of the recency of most automotive develop- ments, there is little in print upon which one may draw. I have therefore obtained most of my data from the field—from companies, from individuals, and from trade associations.
