IF you should ask any Of these EN-

stated that OF purse in every class
there are employees who do not own

not, but those who do are generally
good workers who purchase their cars
with money they would otherwise
spend for some other desires.
In fact, an investigation will prove
that the average owner of an automo-

money for miscellaneous desires as the
non owner of a car. An automobile
eliminates desires created by not hav-
