own cars:
Even with all that has been written

of running an electric carriage. II would

there are who have only vague or most
misleading Ideas about automobiles in

ton of car is extremely simple. almost

and of Of an electric switch. Our expert

OF Instructions with each car. and We
have travelling agents whose duty II is
to keep I'm touch with each new pur-
chaser. But II usually turns out that
when our representative arrives his visit
IS without purpose. for the buyer has
quickly and easily mastered the opera

Instruction or initiation.
