The Coming of the Automobile
Is the horse to 90?

Is it possible that rushing, footing n-maiming

of the noble animal that is not only admired but loved by
humanity?
Perhaps not bad that, but the automobile is past

zeal beast of burden and in France at least responsible
for decrease in the number of horses.
Figures just made public show that in France the
Der of automobiles has increased from 1897 to S4 in
four years In the period there is decrease of o.
600 in the number of horses and decrease of 100000
in the number of horse drawn vehicles
And the popularity of the automobile is just begun In
the future the public is to it not much
ing machine or by by which the rich rid them
selves of their money but more than ever utility.
Perhaps it may solve the problem Of good roads, Cen
turtles of horse using have left America with dsgracefu
public highways. Since the coming of power propelled
road vehicles there has been agitation for proper
roadways than before and the entire country bent
securing improvement.
1t is not too much to expect that day the farmer
will carry his hay to market automobiles that the
mkman will stop his gasoline vehicle at your door, that
the bulk of the country products that hauled in
clumsy wagons humps and through ruts and soughs
will eventually pass macadam streets in autos
simple and efficient than any in
And this will not be because of fad but for of
economy.
The automobile is longer a fad, but business
venience.
