CAN YOU AFFORD TO

"A man used to wonder whether
he could afford an automobile; now
most of those who do not own cars
are wondering whether they can af-
ford to be without one says Roy
Fudge of Overland Fudge Company.
The public generally is begin
ming to understand what car owners
have know for a long time, that the
ownership OF an automobile confers
distinctive and valuable advantages
in both commercial and social life.
There are some investments
which are so rich in dividends Of
profit and satisfaction that any man
does poorly who refuses to make
them even at much temporary sac
rifice. Such Is the automobile in the
light of present recognition OF its
service to humanity.
