CAR OWNERS HAVE
MANY BLESSINGS
Veteran Dealer Points Out Many
Things for Which to Be
Thankful.

Americas motoring millions have
much for which to be grateful at this
annual season Of Thanksgiving, in the
opinion of Rudolph Jose, veteran local
motor car dealer. For while many OF
the problems that remain unsolved seem
serious enough, motordom has taken
gigantic strides in every field, Mr.. Jose
says.
Looking over the blessing Of the
American car owner, Mr.. Jose points out
that he possesses the best automobile
ever produced at price that has made
ownership possible to almost every one;
that excellent service is available fo-
that car; that roads for its use cover
millions Of miles, hundreds Of thousands
of which already are surfaced; that
modern traf1c laws, while they do not
represent the ultimate, at least are far
superior to those of a few years ago:
and that q more effective intelligence
is being brought to bear upon the solu-
ton Of every problem that confronts
the car owner.
"In the matter Of his car alone, even
II 1t Is two or three years old, the mo-
torist has SUFFICIENT cause to be CRATE
full" says Mr.. Jose. "In comparison
with his previous one the present ma
chine Is amazingly improved in every
respect. It is safer car; it costs less
to buy and to maintain; it performs In
. manner that Is almost startling when
compared with the ineffectiveness and
discomfort Of machines Of earlier
periods"
