But few persons in the United States

If all the automobiles in the

there are 2,457,334 miles OF public

About 81 per cent Of all the mo-

motor vehicles paid in license and
other fees the large sum of SSH

assert that each one of these 6.146,-

as much for tires and about twice
as much for gasoline as when it runs

about eight times as many miles Of
