We "see by the papers, that good American citizen
perectng automobile with legs and feet everything
"a bus that viii walk and run with It's own snapey mos
running with its Anticipated Wheels troublesome tires
and SUCH
What relief will be for the old chassis to be able to
shake Leg and get it's toes after being tied down
to the mossgrown wheel idea Imagine how the Logger
will stretch it's pins emerging from its chambre du mutt
upon bamy spring morning-one almost picture this
modern executing ballet step just to show that
Along with this leg idea plan to abandon such
superfuous fixtures springs clutches and which we
find in the makeup of the old fashioned twenty hrees
Springs of course would be unnecessary with legger
particularly this wore Sullvans and had the
resiency of youth it's STEP AS for clutches and gears
they just a bother anyway.
Visualize the decline Of the tire
growth of the shoe repair shophe wealth Of the
cobber and the poverty of the rubber magnatewhen the
Logger into the transportation picture. Think
Of the possibilities for dressing your to match your
taseswhte annes and white bucks for the summer
afternoon knckers and sport shoes for the drive to the
club golf and black pumps and evening trousers for the
drive the formal affair Miady will find vent for the
for matching ones gownsdanty French heels and
chiffon hose for the trip the dance and Of
nish low shoes and wool for the country will be possible
there is possibility Of their appearing if fashion
Dictates and may that there will be necessity
for preventing wrnked stockings which are never good
TASTE Think of trotng gay along fashionable
thoroughfare with stocking down.
While the idea has it's attractive features it also
has Objectionable possibilities ailments to which
the presentday bus is immune may logically be anticipated
We might overlook Of housemad knee, bow
legs but try you might you could make but little mileage
If your "Legger" developed fatfoot charley horse
you would get nowhere if the future sprained an
ankle acquired Imagine the danger
driving aged which might at any time and in the
most nconvenent places show leg weakness and lie
quietly down travelled highway amid the jeers and
funny cracks of passing motorists One of might
carry spare Leg but the idea Of completely rembing
bus by the roadside is beyond
properly equipped tool box for the Legger would be
quite different from the know at this time
ordinarily the driver Of this ultramodern affair might
make his trip with of shoelaces darning
kit for the stocking his being governed entirely by
the of the car) of heels Of foot powder for
long and tiresome drives and possibly spare garter
supporter the may be- prevent annoying mendng
by the The thoughtful motorist would perhaps add
frstad supplies for troubles and for him would
suggest ankle brace two bandages and nment for
weakening knee pnts use remedy and braces for
fallen arches
Just what may be expected in the way Of action
yet unannounced-we have opinions but hesitate
whether the vehicle will trot pace-whether
top speed gaops does the thoroughbred ope
does the coyote, cayuse messenger boy. Will the
cheaper be known for it's rlfang egs-the higher
priced for its sturdy calf and high nstep? Will the
type fivver carry mans load the legs of boy
the fve-fgure brand perform upon limbs worthy Of
Will the entries in the future speedway affairs
spiked shoes?
Will there be bed slippers for the tired bus
when it has evening in the garage?
Who knows?
