Another Annual Show
Suggested by the One
The ID. A. ID. A. Has On


In the automobile show YOU VIII find,
to use the term oftenest heard there
''the last word in motor making"
Of course. that is what we were told
about this machine and that machine a
year ago, and that is what we viii be
told again next year.
This years cars ARE an improve
ment over last year S, however, and next
years cars viii be an improvement over
this years.
Speaking for the present the repre-
sentatives who tell us that the limita-
tions of genius have been reached are
probably correct, but next years car
will be a more desirable car than one you
can buy this year because thousands Of
men are thinking, thinking. even as the
show of 1916 is on, about NEXT YEARS
CAR.
They are thinking about this part, and
that feature; about durability in one
particular, convenience in another, sim
plicity in another, economy in another,
safety in another-thinking constantly
over these things.
THINKING-CONSTANTLY THINK
ING-remember that.
If you want to get an idea of what
THOUGHT will do, go down to the auto
mobile show.
Go down to the automobile show and
be disabused of it if you have any idea
that there is no force in THOUGHT.
The automobile itself is nothing more
than a mans THOUGHT.
And a thousand and one acces-
sories represent a thousand and one
THOUGHTS.
Did you ever notice the manner in
which a shipping tag is reinforced so
that the cord which holds it will not tear
it.
The man who THOUGHT and con-
ceived the idea of reinforcing shipping
tags, got rich.
But THOUGHT can accomplish a great
deal more for you than riches
There are some very rich men who
have tried after getting rich TO do a lot
of good with their money, and in not a
few instances they have succeeded.
You may have Observed "WeI, who
wouldn't, with all his money, and why
shouldn't he? If ! had his money
would do as much as he or more"
One man who is very rich and very
unselfsh, which happy combination
isn't found as much as we wish it were,
has made thousands Of men very happy
by thinking FOR them.
On the other hand, a lot Of good that
might have come to thousands upon
thousands of other men. has NOT come
because society has shirked and waited
for certain rich men to do the thing it
might have forced them to do
Rich men are not all selfish.
1t is the case, too, that rich men are
not all unselish.
1t is probably true that rich men who
are selfish are In the majority.
In class by themselves we find the
oriminally rich-the kind of rich who
use the power Of their money to increase
their riches to crush their small COM
petitor and browbeat the workingman.
These men form a class Of employers
who will never think for anybody but
themselves.
But one does not need RICHES to
