[Illustration: Patterson Boulevard, on which Carillon Park is located, is one of Dayton’s busiest arteries of traffic. There are two reasons why it is fitting to include this picture of teeming traffic with the story of the self-starter. If the self-starter had not been invented, the automobile would never have reached the place that it has in the lives of the people of this country. Continued dependence on the old hand crank as a means of starting would have been an almost unsurmountable handicap. It is also interesting to know that many of the cars which contribute to the stream of traffic on Patterson Boulevard are those of employees of NCR and of General Motors. Deeds and Kettering started their business careers with NCR and were responsible for bringing the first unit of General Motors to Dayton.] CARILLON PARK DAYTON, OHIO One of a series of Carillon Park booklets.
