There Is one supreme test for
every product from an economic
point of view--does 1t increase the
productive power OF the man who
buys and uses 1T? Does 1t en-
able him to do enough more work
to pay for itself and leave him a
profit?
This test the automobile passes
by a margin Of several hundred
per cent. 1t has become one of
the most valuable tools in our gem
eral social economy. 1t increases
production 1t pays It's way and
leaves a profit. 1t is one OF the
most Important contributors to
modern progress. The pleasure II

SO 1t Is clear that the predictions
OF curtailment in the use of cars
are based on false premises And
indeed there is reason to believe
that we are only now coming to a
realization Of the economic uses of
the automobile; that the next five
years will See as great a devel-
opment In the realization Of ia
economic value as have the last
five. '"o'
All these things deal only with

other values which the PASSENGER

Another factor is shown IN such
business as the telegraph and tele-
phone. In the telephone system OF
Philadelphia alone there are 514
passenger cars used: there are 707
cars used by the New York system.
Each such car used by a lineman
or "troubleshooter," multiplies the
amount Of line he can keep in or

men. Other hundreds Of cars are
in constant use for government
