Yet the organization of production and the layout of workshops and factories was a major contemporary issues as evinced by the line column space given to it both in automobile engineering journals and the more popular magazines such as The Autocar. This study is based on these sources, together with company photographic archives, deposited building plans, and collections of press cuttings and other material held by local libraries in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Guildford and Sheffield. The developing motor industry is considered during the first forty years; years which can be divided, somewhat arbitrarily, into three periods, each characterized by a style of car manufacture and ended by an event which, although not of immediate significance, was to set the predominate style for the succeeding period.","PeriodicalId":240604,"journal":{"name":"Motor Transport","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131413557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the advent of cars, buses, trucks and airlines alongside existing steam and electric railroads, pipelines and waterways, the different modes of transport attempted to gain, retain or increase their activities. This was done through greater efficiency, better vehicles and modern business practices but also through influencing consumer tastes by national advertising campaigns. The long-distance bus industry, though always a small contributor to intercity travel, quickly learned how to market its facilities and soon came to rely on advertising for promoting both regular and special features. This paper outlines the leading bus companies' advertising efforts between 1925 and 1950 and relates them to the performance of the industry during those years.","PeriodicalId":240604,"journal":{"name":"Motor Transport","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122969768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
