MANY AUTOMOBILES
OWNED IN PLYMOUTH
Value of Autos and Motorcycles in City
Amounts to Surprisingly Large Sum
of S66,3oo-Business is Rapidly Elk
tending Its Scope.

NO INVENTION Oh recent years
has been so conspicuous as the
automobile. 1t has made itself
felt in all the avenues of life.
For business it engages the at
tentiOn OF commercial firms, as
the motor transit of merchan-
disc cheapens and eNpedites bust
ness; for pleasure it supercedes
all other forms of propelled con-
veyance, because of its comfort,
convenience and rapidity, and it
givs quicker throb to blood
and civilization of spirit; for
health it saves many doctor s
prescriptions and does not have
bad taste in the mouth. 1t is
a foe to the great wtite plague
and puts a rose tint on the cheek
more natural than the druggists
cosmetic. In practical sense it
brings towns and farms, villages
and people closer together; it re-
lieves the horse of drudgery and
the cruelty of drivers; travellers
are whiSked. to their deStina-
tons; it brings first aid to the
injured and makes the quickest
run to a fire; it brings. a physi-
clam in half the time. We are
beginning to realize the scope of
the automobile.
Automobile building is leaping
ahead of all other industries.
The manufacturer in the United
States this year will approximate
10000 machines and it is doubt
full if the supply will equal the
demand.
Close to the auto in popularity
is the motorcycle, and for speed
and adventurous experiences, it
surpasses every other kind OF
conveyance. 1t is equally avail
able for either business or plea
urc.
In Plymouth and the county
automobile business is rapidly
growing. In the city alone there
are forty-five automobiles in use,
and their value represents the
startling sum of $52, $50. Added
to this is the cost price OF twen-
ty-three motorcycles and the
total sum invested in auto-motor
property is
Sixty-six Thousand Three Hun
dred and Ninety Dollars
The following list shows the
number and names of automo-
biles that have been purchased
