AUTOS.

Automobile travel once was the
luxury of the rich. Now it is about
the cheapest family transportation In
the country.
Autos also are cheaper to buy in
this, the twenty-tifth year of the in
dustry, than they ever were. They
cost less than good horse and buggy
did not SO many years ago.
The automobile has just about pass
ed the stage where anyone thinks of
terning it luxury. AS matter of
fact, there are few who can afford
not to have one.

money-and we are not sure of being

billions. But she has refunded it and
she is paying it although she

Now look at England's exchange.
Her money is back at par-or close
