books with titles that begin with the words "How to". One book may tell you how to earn
more money. Another may tell you how to save or spend it and another may explain how to
give your money away.
Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how
to succeed in it. if you fail, however, you can buy the book " How to Turn Failure into
Success". If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book "How to Make a
Millionaire". If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called "How to Live
on Nothing".
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems, if
you want to have a better love of life, you can read "How to Succeed in Love every Minute of
Your Life". If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which give step-bystep instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.

this show that William McKinley became the first U.S. president to ride in a car.
The automobile was not invented in the United States. That distinction belongs to Germany.
Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876. Then, German
engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in the mid-1880s.
But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile. The auto show proved
to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive products.
By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car
population of the United States at that time. In 1900,10 million bicycles and an unknown
number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation. Only
about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those
were gasoline powered. The rest ran on steam or electricity.
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show's audience favored electric cars
because they were quiet. The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from steamers,
and the gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes. The Duryea Motor Wagon Company,
which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to
mask the smells of the naphtha that it burned. Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome—
the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller like a boat
instead of with a steering wheel. None of them was equipped with an automatic starter.
These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable. They
were basically toys of the well-to-do. In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton
University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause
conflict between the wealthy and the poor. However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show
was a young engineer named Henry Ford. But before the end of the decade, he would
revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford. The Model T, first produced in
1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production—the assembly
line. Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to
$21,000 in today's prices. By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the
price would drop even further. "I will build cars for the multitudes," Ford said, and he kept his
promise.
