Why Farmers Need Automobiles. I
In an article in the current issue of
Farm and Fireside automobiles are
taken up and discussed as labor-saving
and time-saving devices. Following is
an extract from the article showing
how farmers need automobiles.
No one class of men has more real
need for car than does the farmer.
To most farmers car is lninyestment
to most other men it is luxury at
least a point must be stretched to figure
out how it is really and truly an invest
ment
The experience of a business men
living some distance from his place OF
business will be interested here,
This car was fve-passenger tour
ing car in the 81, class. 1t was
driven an average of ten miles a day
with three passengers.
This car cost 81, 500. and at the end
of three years sold for 5000. The de-
probation amounted to more than the
first cost of some FIVE passenger cars.
The repairs were made at commercial
garages. This item of expenses Will
be reduced to almost nothing by far
mer who cares for his own car. The
labor charges at garage is more than
the cost of the repair part itself rates
ranging from so cents to S. an hour.
| have friend whose garage bill for
the repair of his car was $14 10 On
investigation he found that the 15c
was for bolt and the $l4 for labor!
"But even at the figures shown his
travelling did not cost him as much as
it would have cost to travel the same
number of miles by buggy or wagon.
"This man travelled an average dis
lance of 10 miles day. This required
about half an hour for each of the three
persons in the car. Whereas it would
have required at least two hours day
to have made the same trip with a
driving team, and three with work
team. Also it costs about 60 cents a
day to feed team of horses. So that
by the time you figure in the time in
volVed, and the cost of operation, the
acknowledgement when the cost per
mile is as high as it is in this case"
