BUY AN AUTO.
NOW is THE TIME.
PRICES VERY LOW.
PERHAPS NEVER LOWER
By Arthur Brisbane.

whatever it may be worth:
When an automobile show is hel
this year 60 to see it.
You may say: 81 am not going
buy an automobile this year." Br
you may be WRONG. Look at thel
first, THEN make up your mind.
You may say: "The times are nc
good; this is not the time for spent
ing money on an automobile"
The answer is that the right tim
to buy an automobile is WHEN
EVER YOU HAVE GOT TIL
MONEY AND CAN AFFORD IT
And, very often, the BEST time t
buy an automobile is when you hav
the money or can get it, and thin
that you CAN'T afford it.
The man that hesitates about get
ting a car for himself, his busi
ness and his family, if he possibl
CAN get it, has not thought tn
matter over very carefully or com
pletely.
Suppose you saw standing on tn
ice in the South one Of those pen
guins-you know what they are
big birds that stand up straigh
like q policeman, tiny wings, will
which they cannot fly. Sailors wall
up to them, knock them on tht
head and they are practically ex
tinct. They would be alive in mil
lions today if they HAD G0OI
WINGS.
What would you think Of q pen
guin if he saw a sailor approach
ing with q club and refused to buy
a pair Of first class wings at ANY
reasonable price? You would say he
was foolish.
Suppose he said to you: "Times
are bad, I must husband my re
sources. This is not the TIME fol
me to buy wings or indulge in any
foolishness." You would say: "Wher
times are bad, YOU need wings mort
than ever"
What the approaching sailor witl
the club is to the penguin, bad time'
are TO THE CITIZENS. A.
The best thing for him to do is t.
get a car, if he can possibly manage
1.-THE best kind that he can afford
You will see every possible kint
(all good) at an automobile show
cars costing less than q good hors'
and buggy, that will do q hundret
times as much as any horse.
You will see cars that look lik'
a palace cut down to limousine size
costing and WORTH as much as ,
good house. #
Remember that in an automo
bile show there is no such thini
as a pleasure car" Every car
Of course, gives PLEASURE. Th'
workman whom you see driving tn
big five-ton truck, instead Of lashini
a team Of suffering horses, take
pleasure in the truck, its power ant
usefulness.
The automobile that carries pas
sengers is no more a pleasure car,
correctly speaking, than is the five
ton truck with load Of coal or o
steel barrels.
The car is for human beings wha
wings are to q bird. You can't sa,
that an eagle has pleasure wings, o
that bird Of paradise has pleasur
wings. They have wings that Civ
them pleasure, wings that save then
time, wings that make them health
ier and safer and carry them wher
they want to 60.
That il just what q car does TO
the human being and the humal
family.
The only thing you have in tn
world is time. An automobile mul
tiplies it by three.
II you are worth something, the
machine that can make you thre
times what you are is certainl
worth having, and YOU CAN AF
FORD 1T If you have the money :
buy it, or can get the money.
The man who says truly 81 dom
need an automobile" also says trul
"My time doesn't amount to much.
An automobile makes the holiday
and Sundays days Of happiness 70
the whole family.
The automobile is inexpensive, be
cause it keeps families together, en-
ables them to find pleasure togethe
with separate cost for it. It enable
the family to 60 where it chooses
when it chooses, and inexpensively
As you travel toward California, :,
the other side Of the Rocky Mount
aims, in your Pullman car, you Sc
along the roads hundreds Ar
thousands Of cars, the biggest, mos
expensive. the smallest and kas
expensive, taking entire families I
the edge OF the Pacific Ocean.
They come from Kansas, the
come from Iowa, they come frol
all over the United States. Fac
as a rule CARRIES AN ENTlR
FAMILY.
