GOOD ROADS CUT
COST OF LIVING
John N. WHY'S of WHY'S
Overland Co., Tells of
Cheap Transportation.

The building of good roads Is the
one biggest and most important fac
tor which this country must consider
In the next few years, says John HI.
WHY'S, president Of the Willys-O
land company. The improved highway
is the one means of salvation for the
poor man. for in these days OF high
cost of living we must look to the
cheaper transportation of foodstuffs as
our way out. We can no longer expect
to better our condition through a
greater supply of necessities, for every
effort we have made toward lowering
the cost of foodstuffs heretofore has
been met with the response that the
United States is now about as inten-
sively cultivated as it can be. In other
words, our people are no longer turn
ing to the country in an effort to pro-
duce larger amount of food. There
fore we must face the problem Of get
ting along with the same amount that
is now produced.
The only solution left for us is to
cut our cost of production and deliv-
cry The best way to accomplish this
is to provide good roads. for we have
already had many demonstrations of
vantage.
The improvement of highways in
many parts of our country in the last
few years has been invariably fol-
lowed by better living conditions.
Where the roads leading into a large
city have been improved we have seen
an increased supply of foodstuffs on
the local markets and a larger number
I,.;,1 hat int
the city. This of necessity results in
lower prices for the products and a
long step toward better living condi-
| tions.
on the other hand. the Improvement
of roads throughout the country is in
variably followed by an improvement
4 in farming methods. The agriculturist
who heretofore devoted his energies
to grazing and the production of rough
foodstuffs, such as corn, is now turn
ing to what Is known as market gar
dening. He is raising potatoes, beans,
| peas and other commodities that are
In every day demand, simply because
/ he can get them to market where here
4 tofore markets were denied him. II Is
j no uncommon sight now to see farmers
| driving is or 20 miles to market with
i loads of produce which before the high
ways were improved were denied the
/ consumer. The automobile, 1t Is true.
has had great deal to do with in
creasing this supply, but even this We
hicle would be helpless without high
ways on which to run.
The advent of good roads, too, has
! brought about another revolution-that
of intense farming.

AUTO INDUSTRY
AN ATTRACTIVE
field FOR YOUNG
Youths of the Right Caliber
Are More in Demand at
Present Time Than Ever
Before.

According to Alfred Reeves, general
manager of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, in statement
few days ago, young men of ambition
are more in demand in the automobile
industry today. and opportunities for
them are even more attractive than
ever before In the history of the motor
car. Besides presenting figures prov
ing the steady growth of the industry
and Its widening field, Mr.. Reeves told
OF the individual departments of the
business that offered openings, and Of
the type of man needed for the work,
THE making and marketing of AGO.
900 cars a year is a big business, to say
nothing of the care and maintenance
of more than 1000 600 cars now in use. "
said he, while for the man who can
make improvements, devise economical
manufacturing methods and conceive
more efficient selling plans the field is
almost unlimited,
Weakness Of Present Force.
THE lack of thoroughness in their
work Is the greatest weakness of the
men now employed in the industry.
Because of the tremendous sale of
for the past 10, there are many who
claim that the absorption point should
soon be reached. For example. last
year some s4o0,o00,0o0 worth of cars
were sold, yet the field is still large
because of the great purchasing power
of our people, the absolute need for
more automobiles in this country and
the needs Of the world at large, whose
trade this country Is certain to Sc
cure, as indicated by its present ag-
gressive campaign, which gave up last
year almost 100000 worth Of for
eign automobile trade.
Factors in the Trade.
There are moro than 100 substan
tial concerns that are factors in the
automobile trade, practically all OF
which are members of the association

starts it slowly but surely down the
track between the rows Of workmen.
First a workman on each side of the
track places the mud guard irons on
the frame. Slowly the frame travels
on, plus the mud guard irons; next
the springs and axels are placed on the

in course of construction is slowly
moving on and each workman walks

cause of limited capital or lack of abil-
ity are certain to pass, just as we have
failures In other industries.
Nevertheless. this country will con-
tinue to absorb not less than AGO. 900

which Is the main reason why the
young man should enter the trade.
Unlimited Field for Talent.
sit is an excellent business for the
young man, because II is not over
crowded, because 1t Is really a mans
business and because ii offers an un-
limited field for young Americas tall
emit in any department he may select,
whether engineering, manufacturing or
selling. It is a great business because
n 1t there are no So called trusts,
which some people seem to think men
ace young mans prospects.
THE automobile business Is largely
an individual business, and factories
and the various departments of fac
tories seem to be the most successful
where they have been permitted to
work out their various problems.
For engineers and inventors a rare
opportunity is offered" continued Mr..
Reeves, because the automobile of to-
day must undergo many radical
changes before 1t can be considered an
up-to date model in 1926
Many improvements Possible.
while the next 10 years may not
show so many radical changes in the
outline of the motor car, there are GER
tain to he many improvements in me-
chanical design and construction, and
Il must be created and worked out by
American engineers.
For one wishing to become a sales
man the automobile business is equally
prolific with its rewards, because il
takes a substantial number of very
good men to sell $4o0, 100000 worth OF
any product In IL months. The sales
man of the past has not been very hard
pressed to sell his product, the cars
having practically sold themselves, but
now a real campaign of selling must be
carried on, and the good man will rise
above the poor one.
Chauffeur's Field Active.
"If one plans to become a chauffeur
the calling is certainly of more thar
ordinary standing. The work is health
full, and the chauffeur receives what we
must consider good salary With the
increased number Of people buying cars
