“And in the early days of the automobile's struggles for recognition as a promising investment, no banker or other moneyed man could be brought to believe that it held out any reasonable hopes of great gain.”
Barber outlines the history, development, and future of the automobile at that time—a classic early analysis of the prospects of the auto industry.
