An UNDISPUTED FACT.
BY D. NJ. H., New York.

In 1913 we purchased five
passenger car, which has not only
saved us money, but more than paid
for itself. Previous to this, l had
driven a motorcycle, ard two makes
of cars. so felt sure l could drive safe
~. After driving the new car q few
weeks ! secured chauffeurs license,
and advertised Ieor livery work.
The first year my earnings were
more than | expected. and ! made
friends. The season of 1914 was busy:
averaged twenty-five dollars q week
and in 1915 ] had so many calls 7
had to turn some of them over to other
chauffeurs. / never worried about
losing my patrons, for they objected
strenrously to giving me up and az
the services Of a "mere man.
+ Many of my customers were ladies,
and sick people who felt safer with
me than with men chauffeurs. who in
variably drive too fast l also did a
line business driving for family picnic
parties, and making trips with high
school and Y. w. C. A. girls, in whose
sports I could join, being member
OF the IattSr organization.
| always carry enc rim and tire
ready to slip on. and on long trips
sometimes take three I can change
them easily.
AS TO saving money that is an I'M
disputed fact. We had owned a farm
ten miles from town, which made il
necessary for US to keep horse and
carriage. The blacksmith bills, feed
and repairs for these cost more than
gasoline and repairs for the car. The
time saved is big item.
I have driven the car to burg
-four times. a -hundre d-mile trip,
which would cost five people five
times. as much by train &c it did for
gasoline and other expenses. These
are only four Of many long trips
for enc Or course Rscme of these trips
were for pleasure: but many were for
fbusiness, and many dollars we're saved
in car fare.
We also saved money in buying
from farmers fresh supplies at moder-
ate prices.
One of the greatest savings. how
ever. is in doctors bills. You may
get severe case Of tan. sunbnrn and
freckles-T have had all varietles-but
underneath that is good red blood such
as nothing but fresh air. sunshine and
exercise can give; and as cure for
nerves and imaginary sickness there
! is nothing better.
So / say to you, girls, if You want
to forget your troubles, have good
health and bank account. buy car
secure license, and get busy befor'
some other girl gets ahead Of you.
