Story of the automobile - Its history and development from 1760 to 1917

This book, the “Story of the Automobile,” shows the struggle of man for one hundred and fifty years to devise a means of propelling a vehicle without animal power. But if this were all that could be recorded of the story of the automobile, this book would not have been written. The automobile’s success demonstrates all this, and something more—something that would not ordinarily occur to a person unless his attention was called to it. 

The book’s interest and value as a contribution to automobile literature, of which there is not much in book form, would be less than they7 are, but for the participation in its preparation by the Business Bourse International, Inc., New York, whose vice-president, Mr. J. George Frederick, is one of the highest authorities on business economics.
