AN AUTOMOBILE

(Reprinted by Permission of the
New York Evening JournaD
This is the season OF the great
automobile exhibition. This is the
opportunity to use some money, i
few hundred dollars, or If you can
afford it, several THOUSAND dol
lars, and 10 MAKE THE BEST
POSSIBLE INVESTMENT.
Automobiles, in quality and
price. never offered such values as
they do THIS year.
Constantly the genius OF Amer
lean manufacturers has worked to
produce in the automobile a
LONGER LIFE and A SHORTER
PRICE.
You can buy, for less than 1t
would have cost years ago to get Il
decent horse and buggy, an auto
mbile that will carry you two hun
dred thousand miles. And the cost
OF storage, the cost Of the gasoline
used, and the oil, which IL properly
used. keeps good machine from
wearing out, are small. Repairs
on the modern car in the hands OF
an intelligent owner are negligi.
BILE.
A horse doing ten miles a day.
six days a week, would have to
live about seventy years to- carry
you two hundred thousand miles.
And the horse would eat all the
time.
A car eats gasoline only WHEN
YOU ARE USING IT.
Dollars invested in an automO
bile, of modest cost or of high cost.
represent as good an investment
as the intelligent American family
can make. If conditions make ii
important for you to consider
economy, then the automobi rep
resents the highest development
IN ECONOMY.
1t saves time. increases eificicn-
cy, adds to the working hours by
cutting out the waste Of slow
transportation.
Far greater than the cost OF all
the automobiles in the United
States, millions upon millions Of
cars. Is the wealth added to the. ma
ton because of time that the auto
mobile has saved.
Where the farmer lost a whole
day going to the town or village
over muddy roads. ne goes now in
half an hour.
The we'll paid mechanic can take
Jobs near or far, his automobile
carries him.
And above all, the automobile l.,
important because OF its contribu-
ton to human HAPPINESS anu
HEALTH.
Things more important than
mere economy must be credited to-
the automobile The small cost of
an automobile enables the entire
family to have pleasure with the
FAMILY UNITED.
A man can take his wife and
children, the baby and the grand
parents where he will, to the. sea-
shore or the mountains, or for that
matter all the way across the
American continent
Automobile travel, which was
once the luxury OF the very rich,
is now THE CHEAPEST FAMILY
TRANSPORTATION IN TIL
UNITED STATES.
You know it when you see men
with so-Ca.led "jitney" automo
biles carrying passengers at five
cents and destroying the business
of street car corporations.
A father can take his family.
with a camping outfit, to the noun
tains or the shore. at cost one
quarter of what it would have been
before the automobile came. al
lowing for the original cost Of the
| automobile.
Every year has seen constant
progress, improvement in quality.
production and cost. And in no
year has there been greater prog
ress, greater offering of real value,
than THIS year.
There are. unfortunately, fam
lilies that cannot as yet afford an
automobile. There are also tens
Of thousands that THINK they can
not afford an automobile, when the
fact is that they really cannot af-
ford to De WITHOUT an automo-
bile.
There are tens of Thousands of
families that could move to the
country, save in rent the cost of
the automobile, store it in the
hcme garage without garage
charges. Automobiles that have
already taken millions to the coun
try are destined to take many
more millions.
And everywhere the automobile
has been a blessing to this nation.
The. desire to possess an automo-
bile has caused many men. young
and old, to work as they have not
worked before. 1t has inspired
millions with the desire and THE
ABILITY to save.
Only the foolish talk of the auto.
mobile as a. pleasure car. That
which means economy, greater ef-
ficiency, health. happiness ana
FAMILIES UNITED is a blessing
and necessity.
1t DOES give pleasure, but it is
primarily a USEFUL car, the
MOST USEFUL invention OF the
human race thus far.
