No student ought to coraplete the
analysis of his neighbor's character
without considering the type of car
he drives Just as chin reveals
weakness and strength of character
so does ones selection of a car re-
veal certain definite traits. For in
stance, the man with roadster and
a large family is selfish and deceit

he is either a bootlegger Or in love.
The man who maintains q seven

only his wife to ride with him. is
good sport and a generous host He
may be counted on for parades and
helping the neighbors move. If he
buys this amount of seating ca
pacity in a closed job he is' either
extravagant or aware that his wife's
relatives are wealthy but stingy. And

allows hubby to use the car he gave
her at least once a week without
making him take her along. The inn

not only equal the generous one, but
would far surpass her by not asking
what hubby was going to do with
the car. There are no impossible
