AUTOS MEAN BROADER
LIFE TO The FARMER
Has Brought Him in Touch
With World and Enlarged
His Social Circle.
ny JOHN n. wuLLYs,
President the wiIIys-OverIsnd I

Trestueut the WlIIys.OSerIonu TO-
The advent OF the automobile gave to
farmers many things they had never
really enjoyed before. Before its ap-
pearance life on the farm was more or
less Of "a hurndrum existence. even under
the most favorable conditions. But the
motor car has changed the entire mode
OF living for the average farmer. 1t
has put him and his family into touch
with the rest Of the world.
When the farmer had to depend upon
the horse as means OF transportation
his social acquaintance was limited to
the few people who lived within short
distance OF his home. A trip to town
usually meant many tedious hours be-
hipd tired horse. which consumed the
greater part OF a day. The loss OF time
and the Inconvenience OF travelling took
away all thought OF pleasure. In the
majority of cases the farmer went to
town only when compelled to rather than
through any choice Of his own.
This condition existed up to the time
Of the appearance Of the automobile
Then when the farmer realized that the
motor car was not passing fancy in
dulEed in only by weaithy city residents
he was ready and eager to invest In one
Since that time he has found the auto
mobile almost indispensable. The very
fact that more than half OF the Over
lands produced each year are sold to
people In rural districts IL pretty good
evidence Of the farmers appreciation.
The progressive farmers who have
given automobiles fair trial have
found them economical, convenient and
capable Of doing many thinks quicker
and better than could possibly be done
with horses and wagons or buggies. They
also find them a source Of comfort and
pleasure.
A big five passenger touring car, such
as the Overland costs the farmer no
more than the cost OF a good team Of
horses plus the expense OF harness and
carriage. When not In use the automo-
bile requires no attention and there II
no expense attached to II, while the
horse must he looked after at all times
and It's upkeep expense is the same day
after day. working or idle.
With a motor car farmer can take
his family to town, to church. TO social
gatherings. or in fact anywhere they
may care to go. in about one-fifth the
time formerly required with horse and
carriage. Rain or shine the automobile
is always at his disposal and no matter
how hot the weather the car can be
kept going at steady pace without fear
or tirins II out or overheating it.
