The Automobile

Ever since the world began. one of
its chief problems has been transpor-
tation. Civilizations march of prog
ress has always been measured by the
time il has required to carry goods or
persons from one place to another.
Countries like China and India are
centuries behind the times due to
lack of transportation. Where yer
YOU find a community with abundant
transportation. there YOU viii find an
enlightened community with the
hum Of business. with all Of lifc's
latest advantages, and the people up
and doing.
Transportation, therefore. is actu-
ally the mother of progress. The
railroads solved the problem Of trans
portation for countries and commune
ties. street ears and intcrurban cars
brought transportation still closer to
the individuals daily needs But the
automobile has given 10 the individual
an advantage equipment to owning a
private railroad.
The automobile multiplie~ individ-
ual activity. 1t increases commercial,
social, educational, recrcational activi-
ties. II gives the individual the
equivalent of more days in week
more years in lifetime md more
opportunities to attain greater sue
cess.
Those who can afford 10 end do not
