people ask what becomes Of the old
automobiles" said an auto salesman 10
a Herald man. Il showed friend OF
mine what becomes of them when he
asked me that question this week. It
only took about five minutes, 100 anu
we had to 90 no farther than the cor
ner Any other down town street Where
automobiles stand would have done
Just as well. For a distance Of little
over d block 7 called the name ana
year Of the various automobiles lined
up on either side Of the street and my
companion took them down When we
figured IN at the finish there were
represented in this Offhand census five
'06, six '07 three 'QS, four 'O9, II H.
eight IL, six II and nine 10 models.
I think this chance census is very
eloquent evidence Of what becomes OF
the old cars. The most Of them are
still doing active service and promise
to continue doing 1T for some time.
When one recOllects that the city
cars are apt to show a higher percen-
tage Of late models than a country CEN
sus would, this showing is really re-
markable- The motor car is not a ma
chine of short life and quick deprecia-
ton In the hands of careful owners
they continue in service year after
year in a manner that is truly wonder
ful
The car Of today should be a ma
chine of longer life than its prede-
CesOrs, because recent advances in
metauurgy and in engine and trans
mission design make for stronger con-
strUctiOn and lessened friction both Of
which viii go far towards frightening
the life Of the modern automobile
The tital mileage that has probably
been covered by those 50 cars in the
CELSIUS is something tremendous. Al
together I figure that they have seen
ll2 years Of service. An average mile
age for a year Of 10000 is By no means
excessive, which would make total of
Ll2OO00 miles covered by those ma
chimes"
