why this fad has been catered to by
so many reputable manufacturers Is
beyond comprehension. The advantage
they claim for it is that the occupants
of the front seats can alight at the curb
in cities. From this, one would judge
that every ear WAS used the greater
part of it's time in the congested sec
tions of the cities. i. e.. those sections
where traffic rules apply. while probably
less than 10 per cent of the cars in
Delaware go into these sections to any
considerable extent.
No Reason for Fad.
For several months last year the
writer kept track of the stops made in
Philadelphia and in the county. and
found that outside the traffic zone. he
stopped on the left side of the street
or road as often as the right. On more
than one occasion he was compelled to
stop on the left side of Chestnut street
at large department store and let
out passengers directly on the curb be-
cause every foot of space on the right
side was occupied by standing vehicles
