of depriving each and every member of

For years, or ever since 1908, Eyers

TREMENDOUS DEMAND

The Commerce Motor Company has
recently completed several exhaus-
tive surveys relative to the unfver-
salty of the demand for delivery cars.
The combined results OF these sur

ness houses to whom delivery liz OF

installed or are seriously considering
the installation OF a motor delivery
Fystem. These figures have been well
borne out by the results Of recent can

Auto Responsible
For Back to Land
Movement Now On

.'rhe automobile IS responsible for
the only real back -to- the-land move
ment that is evident today" said Harry
r. Radford. of Potomac, Michigan,
vice president and general manager
of the Carter Car company.
my reasons for making such a wide
assertion are based on close study
OF the economic conditions on the
farm.
1T has not .been hard for any one
in touch with affairs of business and
social life to understand why young
people have preferred to leave the
home farm and 60 to the city.
''Trere's action and excitement,
there's a bigger wage and limited
hour of wefh-shese and ct heF-thsffgs
constitute the lure Of the land
Now, however. thanks to the au-
tomobile, young people are finding
the farm attractive. The automobile
brings neighbors nearer. friends closer.
makes more friends, possible, makes
acquaintance more intimate.
IAN actual instance OF this came
under my notice in Hillsdale county.
this State.
"A well-to-do farmer had a grown
con and daughter. He had given them
good educations and everything else
that 1t seemed proper for them to
have. He was proud of both of them.
while secretly hoping that the son
Mt last would cast his lot with his
father and continue to get his hv-
Ing from the same soil that had raised
several generations OF the family, the
father placed no obstacle Of any kind
in his way to another choice.
THE boy and girl talked it over to-
gether and decided to go to the city,
the had to try to become an automo-
bile man. the girl to find work in an
office.
THE father had been thinking for
a long time that he should have an
automobile--and perhaps some little
voice whispered to him that this was
the proper time--anyway he pur-
chased one. and today his son and
daughter ARE both contented right
at home"
