->It is surprising how the runabout has
grown in favor as pleasure wagon. There
is no end to the styles in them and it must be
admitted that some are "fearfuly and won
derfully made" while there are others that
combine both beauty and comfort. The rub
Der tire is generally used on the better class of
these vehicles.
- Last week THE UNION called attention to
the pernicious custom of lacking tin quack

all the signs have disappeared. Thanks for
the good work.
