that attribute to the superiority Of our
soil and climate from the standpoint Of
production? We should arouse and
spread to the world the plain facts
about our community and our soil and
climate and what we produce and the
industries that thrive here and let the
sober lawabiding population that wants
to live in an ideal community come and
share the blessings with us. In place Of
one million dollar fruit juice, jelly and

do that inside Of ten years because we
have the facts in our favor and all we

There is no longer through service from Berlin to

DEVELOPMENT OF AUTO
HAS BEEN PRONOUNCED
DESPITE OPPOSITION
History of Motor Car One of Constant
Fighting by Manufacturers to
Make improvements.

Do you remember the time-and it
was not so long ago-when automo-
biles were lighted with gas and there
were no self-starters? Has 1t ever
occurred to you that. the manufactur-
ers have had to battle for every i'm
provement they wanted to make? II
not--the facts remain.
"The history of the motor car has
been one of constant development in
spite Of opposition by those dealers in
all parts of, the country who always
wanted to leave well enough alone.
First, we had coal oil lamps and
then came the carbide tank, which
gave more light and cleaner light
without trouble. Then came the elec-
trio starter and electric lighting sys-
tens. Many motor car dealer OBJ
jected first to the electric starter and
then when he was sold" on the starter

They had a thousand and one rea-
sons for fighting improvements. Some
said the electric systems were toe
heavy; others that they were danger

manufacturers persisted, and made the
automobile what it is today.

Yes, and she has reason to be. Is
she not the fairest work of all, and
should not her surroundings, her en-
vironment and her means of pleasure
be the best? Certainly.
And, with view to catering to
Madame's whims and fancies, auto
manufacturers of today who are pro-
gressive are designing their cars to
contain all the little niceties and re-
finements dear to the feminine heart,
and planning their makes with a view
to insuring ease Of operation, comfort
and style in the highest degree.
Such was the view of the REQ people
when they undertook to build a sedan.
They saw Madame, in her gowns of
silk, at the ball or thedter, and watched
her, in her. broadcloth go shopping or
calling, or go to grace o'clock tea
with her regal presence.
After they had all their data they
designed Il car for Madame herself,
and when the finished product made
its appearance, experts and critics
were unanimous in stating that it was
the last word in beauty, comfort, ease
of operation and refinements.

AUTO DEALERS MUST

The automobile industry has a
new class of purchasers to CON
slder-a class whose motor car
experience was born of the war
and whose mechanical knowledge
was gained under circumstances
that imprinted on their minds the
many uses the automobile can be
put to, it's utility and what to look
for in the component parts OF mo-
tor car construction.
Il refer to the members of the
American army motor corps di-
vision who have in the past year
learned the A b Cs of motor car
construction and operation from
the ground up. There are several
hundred thousand of these young
men who represent future pur-
chasers and users of automobiles,
and who will make their purchases
according to the expert advice
they learned from Uncle Sam.
Transmission, differentials, gear
ratios, every part of the automo-
bile chassis are like an open book
to them" said a prominent local
distributor.
Practically every automobile
manufacturer Who was on govern
ment work at one time or other
had scores of these young men
right in his plant learning the
construction of the different au-
tomobile parts. As one prominent
automobile official said to me re-
Gently They represent the new
era of the automobile industry.
For some time past the manu-
facturers have felt that if owners
understood the mechanism OF the
cars they drove, the abuses they
unconsciously give their cars half

eliminated, half of Americas serv-
ice and parts expense would be
stopped and the nations gasoline
