In order to avoid arbitrary decisions made by the three officers, and to obtain additional viewpoints, it was decided to appoint a Board of Directors consisting of the officers plus four additional members. These mem­ bers were selected for their obvious interest in the Society, and also picked for their geographical location to be fairly representative of our widespread member­ ship. The following have accepted membership on the Board: John Conde, Ralph Dunwoodie, John Peckham and Herman Smith. Smith was selected as a spQkesman, as it were, for the non-U.S. members. We, the Board of Directors, expect to make progress by continuing to improve the standards set in the past and striving to make the S.A.H. the type of organ­ ization which you, the members, want it to be. Progress reports on the decisions of the Board of Directors will be made from time to t~me. ADDITIONS TO THE MEMBERSHIP LIST Michael W. R. Davis William C.

  • Packard Motor Car Company Headquarters; Detroit, Michigan, U.S
    Packard Motor Car Company Headquarters; Detroit, Michigan, U.S. Source: Wikipedia History 1899–1905 Packard was founded by James Ward Packard, his brother William and their partner, George Lewis Weiss, in the city of Warren, Ohio, where 400 Packard automobiles were built at their factory on Dana Street Northeast, from 1899 to 1903. A mechanical engineer, James Packard believed they could build a better horseless carriage than the Winton cars owned by Weiss, an important Winton stockholder, after Packard complained to Alexander Winton and offered suggestions for improvement, which were ignored. Packard's first car was built in Warren, Ohio, on November 6, 1899. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he visited the Packards and soon enlisted a group of investors—including Truman Handy Newberry and Russell A. Alger Jr. On October 2, 1902, this group refinanced and renamed the New York and Ohio Automobile Company as the Packard Motor Car Company, with James Packard as president. Alger later served as vice president. Packard moved operations to Detroit soon after, and Joy became general manager (and later chairman of the board). An original Packard, reputedly the first manufactured, was donated by a grateful James Packard to his alma mater, Lehigh University, and is preserved there in the Packard Laboratory. Another is on display at the Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio. In the beginning, all Packards had a single-cylinder engine until 1903. Packard vehicles featured innovations, including the modern steering wheel and, years later, the first production 12-cylinder engine, adapted from developing the Liberty L-12, and air- conditioning in a passenger car.

Associate Professor of Economics and Sociology in the College of the City of Detroit BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY irbeitiberfsibeVraz Cambribge 1928 COPYRIGHT, 1928, BY HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX TO ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FRED M. TAYLOR THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED I the Ribersabe Press CAMBRIDGE • MASSACHUSETTS PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. PREFACE THIS series of books owes its existence to the generosity of Messrs. Hart, Schaffner & Marx, of Chicago, who have shown a special interest in trying to draw the attention of American youth to the study of economic and commercial subjects. For this purpose they have delegated to the un- dersigned committee the task of selecting or approving of topics, making announcements, and awarding prizes an- nually for those who wish to compete. For the year 1926 there were offered: In Class A, which included any American without re- striction, a first prize of $1000, and a second prize of $500. In Class B, which included any who were at the time undergraduates of an American college, a first prize of $3oo, and a second prize of $200. Any essay submitted in Class B, if deemed of sufficient merit, could receive a prize in Class A. The present volume, submitted in Class A, was awarded First Prize. J.

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. IVN Hd 0 . I LSd II_ ■ `1 Fld 'Cr This book is dedicated to three men who have given counsel throughout its preparation: EDWIN F. GAY CHARLES CLIFTON WILLIAM E. METZGER COPYRIGHT, 1928, BY A. W. 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.
