SEE THE SIf 1 8 AT THEMITD SHOW ; A strong, impetus to the already re- j markable popularity of the Standard 8 j car is anticipated by C. A. Quiglfey as a result of the display of this firm at the auto show. The Standard has made a bijr impression in local automobile circles cir-cles and in the opinion of its distribu- 1 tors will compare to advantage with any ! other car anywhere near its price class. One of the strong- points which impress im-press motorists in favor of the Standard Is the history of the car and jts develop-ment. develop-ment. This in every detail, it is held, eo bears out the conclusion that It is a car that can be relied upon to fulfill all that is said about it, that only a demonstration demon-stration is needed to clinch tne argument. argu-ment. , Fifteen years ago the Standard Steel Car company built its ' first plant in Butler, ?a.. from which parent house there has sprung an average of one large plant a year in the United States, and auxiliaries of like importance in many foreign countries. These -arious enterprises were projected project-ed as centers of production for the things that have since served to make railway transportation so secure and travel so comfortable; but, while constantly growing grow-ing to proportions of greatest commercial importance, perfection of output has been the more specific aim. A large faculty of engineers, chemists, metallurgists, by-production experts and costs analysts has been brought to high efficiency 10 meet the varied needs of the great railways that this company supplies sup-plies with rolling stock and safety equip- ; mentv ; Out of tills organization of thorough- I ness have come the Standard 8 for years before this car was marketed, models were constantly brought out to be measured against the rigid standard criterion of precise performance, to undergo un-dergo the severest mountain tests, for , improvement and adjustment, until in 1912 a car entirely worthy of the name and the addition of its jnakers was fully developed. Since that the Standard 8 has held a place in the van of the finest cars and the factory output has never ; equaled the demand. The models of the Standard to be ', shown at the auto show are four-passenger phaeton and a sedan.
