These buggies are built in great numbers in the United States. Mr. Hutton, a Dublin carriage builder who visited America in 1 88 1, wrote a paper on the industry in that country from which the following pass- aore is taken. " In the buggy trade the fact that three four- wheeled carriages could be built for £iq and leave a margin for profit, astonishes one until one has seen them. There is hardly a mechanic in the whole of these factories ; boys do a large proportion of the work. Mr. Cook saw th...at a cheap buggy was required among the settlers and started what is now one of the most flourishing industries in the west. No attempt is ever made to repair these buggies, when one fails in any way it is put aside. Messrs. Cook kept 850 men and they made at the rate of one buggy in every ten minutes. Every man had his task and knew it thoroughly and knew nothing else." These cheap buggies "were thrown to- gether, not put together," by machinery ; each part was made the same size, off the same mould, as it were, so that no nicety of 71 fitting was required.
