The speed, ease, and grace with |
which the Berry and Fischer autos
glide through the streets and out into |

q machine. Prevailing opinion is that !
the auto is to be largely the convey /
ance OF the future, and In time the |
ouggies, even for general.use will be
argeiy superseded. Ere then, how
ever there will have to be lower priced
so that the man with the T
zoe can take his turn at ownership,
snd drive about with his family. I
Even on Benton county roads the To-
,al machines make a speed of fifteen
,r twenty miles an hour without SEN
IDLY shaking up the rider.
