 In addition to the above publications there are many 

 periodicals, some of which are no longer being published, 

 which provide contemporary descriptions of many automo- 

 biles and contests. These include the following: 



Automobile, The (first published September 1899). 



Automobile Trade Journal (merged into Motor Age in 1928). 



Automotive Industries (started as The Automobile). 



Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal '(became Automobile Trade Journal). 



Horseless Age, The (first published November 1895, merged into 



Motor Age in 1918). 

 Motor (first published in 1903). 

 Motor Age (first published September 1899). 

 Motor Life (first published March 1906). 

 Society of Automotive Engineers Journal (first published in r April 



1911 as S. A. E. Bulletin). 



During the years 1904 through 1929, illustrated hand- 

 books were issued annually by the Association of Licensed 

 Automobile Manufacturers and its successors, the Automo- 

 bile Board of Trade and the National Automobile 

 Chamber of Commerce. This organization is now called 

 the Automobile Manufacturers Association. These books 

 list the major specifications for all the automobiles made 

 by the members of those groups, and are a valuable source 

 of information. The Automobile Manufacturers Associa- 

 tion also publishes a pamphlet entitled "Automobile Facts 

 and Figures," which contains many statistics pertaining to 

 the automobile industry.

 taining articles by authoritative writers, as well as reprinted 

 articles from the old commercial periodicals. The publi-
