MOTOR CAR HAS AIDED
REAL ESTATE TO RISE
Eliminating Horses From De-
sirable City Plots One Way
Bigger Farm Prices Another.
~ JOHN ". WILLIS.

Al angle OF the automobile bus mess
which IA great majority OF the people OF
THIS country Aave failed 10 take into
conside ration Is that OF tho Increase
IN real estate values since the horse was
rclegated Ia the background by the motor
car There Is no way of estimating this
increase in dollars aud cents. but IL mas
been countrywide--from tho courcsted city
districts 10 the most remote farming
territory.
In the cities tie elimination OF the
horse barn has added millions OF dollars
20 tine value Of downtown rea estate. For
years past We have seeu desirable manu-
featuring enterprises driven away from
areas where horses We're housed. Ii has
been out 0! the question 10 attempt to
build residences anywhere near territories
where there are "a number of STABLES.
With the substitution Of the automobile
garage for the horse barn real estate
values have increased by leaps and
bounds, me added worth in some cases
being AZ much as 100 per cent,
And 1t is not only in dollars and cents
that we have seen this increase in city
real estate values. With the elimination
Of the horse we have added large areas
Of unoccupicd property In our downtown
sections. An automobile can be housed
in SO much less space than that required
FOR horses and wagons that literally
millions Of dollars worth of land have
been made available for other purposes
as fast as business concerns have done
away with their horses.
The same conditions hold true in every
small town and village of the country.
And In the farming districts We find
constantly Increasing land values, rs the
pleasure Automobile and commercial We
hice have come into more general usa,
The motor driven car has brought the
most remote farm into touch with the
world. for 2asolene has eliminated dis
