HOLDS AUTO COST
IS ONLY 81 A DAY
Sales Director Cites Stats.
tics on Average Motorists
Expenses.

The automobile hardly can be re-
garded as a luxury when its average
cost including the cost of maintenance
and operation. amounts only to 81 a
day. Citing statistics compiled by the
American Motorists Association, Fl. H.
Brooks general sales director in the
motor industry, points out that the au-
tomohile is, If luxury at all. the least
expensive ever INDUCED in by Ameri-
cans
When you figure said Brooks, that
the average motorist spent only $229
last year on the upkeep of his car: that
the average retail price OF passenger
car was $3.50, and that the life OF car
is estimated at seven years, you begin
to realize how little car costs--only 81
a day. In order 10 get his moneys
worth. even in transportation. the owner
OF an automobile would have to drive
his vehicle only So miles a day, or
about 10000 miles a year.
Means Mere Than Riding.
Ownership of car. however. means
much NOSE than transportation. II
means suburban homes, week end tours,
Summer cottages and increased earning
power. The automobile, like the high
road. is one of the worlds great So
cializing agencies, and in aiding COM
merce 1t effects an interchange of ideas
that is rapidly bsttering down the walls
OF ignorance, superstition and intol-
erance.
"Reverting to the statistics, we find
that OF the amount spent by the aver
age motorist for the maintenance and
operation OF his Car last year, $i0I, or
A per cent, went for gasoline and lubri-
cants. To this figure OF course, must
be added the depreciation The aver
age price of 1858, based on seven-year
life expectancy. would mean a deprecia-
ton OF Sl36 year Add the two sums
and you get 1865. the yearly cost of
owning and driving a car.
Repairs Are Second.
While oil and fuel make up the
principal item on the motorists bill. the
second largest item is for repair work,
which averages SAT Part requirements,
| the statistics show. will cost SAL, and
the tire bill will amount to about $40
for the year. The total operation and
| maintenance cost of Americas $4,000,
600 motorists last year was $780,
600 900.
Costs OF operation. 1t is true. have
increased by about S per cent, but this
is more than compensated for by the
additional mileage. It's not the orig
inal cost, but the upkeep' is one OF the
sales resistance arguments known to
every automobile merchant. But with
these figures called to his attention, the
| prospect may readily see that he hardly
can afford to be without car, and that
the low cost of 81 day has taken the
automobile out Of the luxury classified :
ton and placed 1t with the everyday
| necessities"

an unlighted hire car resulted in the
death OF one, 1t no doubt performs
what its nickname suggests.
Another motor law peculiar to Japan
requires all cars to be equipped with
mud splashers in wet weather. The
great number of narrow dirt roads
makes this precaution necessary If
pedestrians are to avoid being Spattered
with mud.
The laws sometimes interfere with
the convenience of driving Lydon
said. Take, for example. the regula-
ton governing the tail-light switch,
The switch operating the rear light
must be located on the rear OF the
car, which makes 1t necessary for the
driver to stand by the light when he
turns 1t on. This rule reveals the ex-
