The Shiny Automobile

Millions of people of limited in
comes are keeping automobiles. Some
of them feel at times that the ma
chine is beyond their means. Yet
it seems to do the family so much
good that they dislike to give it up.
Such folks often feel envious as
they look at newly painted and shiny
automobiles with which the streets
are filed, while their faithful old
car is weather beaten and dingy.
They sometimes feel lacking in self
respect, as they drive their ancient
machine among those of later vint-
age and more glorious appearance.
Yet they should hold up their
heads. Their credit at the grocer's
may be better than some whose
motors suggests freer spending. The
first purpose of an automobile Is not
20 dazzle the onlookers with new
paint, but to reach destinations and
enjoy unfamiliar scenes.
