ALL FAMILIES
Want AN auto
Machines Have Rapidly Devel-
oped From "freak" Stage to
Absolute Necessity.
LARGE FACTOR IN PROGRESS
Production Has Increased by Leaps
and Bounds Until Today There
Are More Than 5,o0o, 900 Motor
Cars In the United States.

When the first horseless carriage
appeared We looked 1t over curiously.
nudged each other knowingly. made
jocular remarks and went about our
business wondering what those crazy
inventors would do next Thus began
the evolution of what is today our
third greatest industry. From the
freak stage, the automobile developed
into a rich mans plaything.
Finally, after many vicissitudes, we
were forced to recognize it as a pos
sible commercial proposition.
From possibility TO probability
and soon to a certainty-the auto
mobile quickly arrived at its proper
position in the scheme of things. And
that position is an exalted one.
All Families Want Cars.
The automobile today is so effec-
tive factor in the progress and hap
piness of humanity that it is every
family's ambition to possess one.
Logically, Its production has In
creased by leaps and bounds, until to-
tomobiles in the United States alone.
They have become a national neces-
sity, employed in every avenue of in
dustry-to save time and widen zones
of trade.
They have brought fresh air and
the wonders of the open country to
multitudes, lessening distances and
promoting closer fellowship.
That, in brief, is the past and pres
ent of the automobile.
What, then. of the future?
We hear much less than formerly
of the approach of so~alled satura-
ton period-a time when so many
cars will have been built that sharp
curtailment of output must come.
Industry In Infancy.
The more we reflect. investigate and
analyze, the more our common sense
tells us that the building of cars is
still an infant industry.
In the first instance, we take into
account that which we all know to be
true; namely. that he who once owns
a car will contrive to own one as long
ms he has the price.
That means, in round figures, that
more than million automobiles must
be built this year to replace those that
will wear out. This is on the con-
servative basis that the average car
has useful life of five years.
The future Of the automobile is
something for succeeding generations
to worry about-maybe-bu he is a
rank pessimist who will say today
that 1t is anything but rosy.

TAR REMOVED FROM MACHINE
Almost Impossible to Run Over New
Roads or Pavements Without
Getting Some on Car.

1t is hardly possible to drive ma
chine over newly tarred roads or pave
ments without getting at least some of
the tar on the body. If treated in time
the spots are not difficult to remove.
The machine should be washed to elm
mate all the grit, and carefully dried
with chamois, so that the tar will not
smear. little vaseline applied over
each spot and worked in with the
fingers will help to remove the stains.
A thorough wash with body soap and
a finish polish in the usual manner
completes the operation.

ly keeps his business alive because of
inferior delivery methods.
The farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling of his product is
vital consideration. For instance
take the case of the dairy farmer who
now makes two deliveries a day with
his motor truck in less time than he
used to be able to make three deliv-
cries week. His milk is sweeter, the
price is higher. And SO 1t goes all
along the line, the motor truck has
proved not only its speed, but its econ
omy.
Increased Use of Trucks.
There can be no doubt in the mind
of anycne who makes serious study
of transportation conditions as they ex-
ist the country over. but that the next
few years will see an amazing increase
In the use of trucks. Because speed,
economy and adaptability to varied
york will be vital considerations 1t
seems certain that the greatest de-
mand Will be for moderately light-duty
vehicles.
The Elbert County tribune., 1919-07-11

When the necessity for moving war
essentials simply overwhelmed the
railroads and paralyzed shipping con-
ditions, the world wac brought to a
realization of what motor trucks could
