You certainly can get over the ground In
a motor car. Some days we made over $50
miles and we didn't need to feel that we
were hurting the car When you ride a
horse over seventy-five miles day you
have to be careful that You don't do him
an injury. OF course, with a horse you
don't have any gasoline to buy or any
tires to fix, but figure that you more than
make up the cost OF your gasoline by the
shortness OF time 1t takes you to go from
one place to another. II 1 were going to
sart out TO see the country 1 would
prefer an automobile. because l could
see 80 much more in short time. How

This Is probably more money than he Is
worth because could buy three Brush
runabonts for that. but he has carried me
SO many miles, that have become greatly
attached to him. / imagine that lots Of
people still ride horsebark that would other
wise drive an automobile II 1t were not for
the fact that they hate TO part with their
horse and cannot afford both"
