Get An Automobile

@&# = - .
Get an automobile is the title of an editorial APP
pesanring in a recent issue Of Evening News of Cleveland,
Ohio. Here are a few excerpts:
Eagles live to. be a hundred years old and older.
Fresh air does that for them.
1sIhe automobile will do for you what the eagles
wings do for him. Get an automobile.
AIhe trout, living in swift running water, is marvellous
Tor speed, health, gameness and beauty. Water to him IS
9 brilliant fish. Plenfy.of swift moving air means a health.
Ter, more brilliant human being. Nothing is more dismal
than the wide-mouthed. sucker fish, lying at the bottom of
the stagnant pond-get an automobile.
Now is the time to realize that the marVels OF auto
mobile building and using are only beginning.
stYou can buy for $500 an automobile that would be
worth $5000-if it could not be bought for less.
Where thousands of automobiles have been sold tens
of thousands will be sold.
whoever talks of national automobile extravaganza
might as well talk of railroad extravaganza. We need au-
tomooiles as we need railroads and before long good
roads Plus cheap automobiles will make the motor more
important than the steam car III passenger carrying.
'sIhe dull minded take out their little pencils and cal
culate how much automobiles have cost the country. What
of it9
Railroads have cost the country thirteen thousand
million dollars for construction alone-and scores of thous-
ands OF millions for upkeep-and they have been cheap at
the price. We need more railroads.
Automobiles are cheap at their price-and we need
more, millions more.
.tThis country needs Il machine for every one of it's
SIX million prosperous farms. The machine Will make
everyone of those farms more prosperous, saving the farm
er.s time, leaving the horses for slow farm work, giving
the poor wife a chance to stop %drudgery, making the young
man content to stay on the land.
Every one Of our millions of farmers needs a car and
will have it.
Every business man, plumber, carpenter, baker,
needs and will have a car.
sWh talk of the end of the automobile BOOM when
there is no boom when any sane man can see III the coun-
try now five millions of citizens without a car that should
have one and could use it economically.
AS well talk OF an end of the electric light boom or
gas boom as of an automobile boom.
ssThe motor has helped men to conquer space-it is
here to last forever, and its only competitor will be the
safe, cheap flying machine-still some distance away.
ssThe flying machine, never falling, using no tires, with
good air roads all around this planet, will be the great dis
lance killer.
while waiting for that, get an automobile.
Your kind of car is ready for you.
ssYoa can take Your family 20 miles with 20 cents
worth of gasoline. That is cheap enough.
And IT will save easily more than its cost in actual
time saved, even if the owner time is not worth mere than
SO a day.
VANITY is foolish, but the automobile has nothing to
do with vanity or show.
"A family can save what an automobile costs, if it
must save
with q small ear, the business man may live in the
country more conveniently than in the city.
THE car takes him to his work-or his suburban train.
~ does all the errands for the family. The wife can run
it. II takes the children to school. In hot summer weath-
er it makes q lakeside home of the little house is miles
from the ofe--three-quarter of an hour in refreshing,
s@ift-moving air, a bath in the lake, the ride home AL the
family happy. That is just one thing that the low priced
motor will do among a thousand things.
The day Of the automobile is only beginning. Join
the army of automobile owners.
Set the best, study the subject, know your own car
thoroughly.
ssGet an automobile
Think of the company behind the ear-and You will
realize why Fords and government bonds are: bought with
equal assurance,
Now Is the time to buy that Ford automobile that you
have been thinking about 50 long. We now have plenty
OF them on hand but when the spring buying commences
we would not guarantee to deliver you u car during the
month of May
