Not Luxury NoW

Washington talks of imposing
a 20 per cent luxury tax on
automobiles Apparently federal
bureaucrats and legislators are
under the delusion that the
United States is still in the
horse and buggy stage.
Heavens on earth, one thing
which has stood out more than
any other in my visits TO the
sites of gigantic new projects
for national defense has been
the reliance of the workmen
upon auto transportation. Rid
ing along a main thoroughfare
in Detroit, / noted that more
than half of the cars We're being
used by workmen, most of them
in shirtsleeves.
In America the automobile is
the polar antithesis Of a luxury,
a thing merely of pleasure.
Every fourth person today owns
a car.
Bill Holler. who, as general
sales manager of Chevrolet, is
responsible for the marketing of
more cars than any other man
in the world points out:
"The modern automobile is
n daily necessity. II Is Of vital
Importance tn the working man
observe the number of ears
parked around any factory Of
magnitude. Note how important
parking facilities have become
10 the department store, even

owners use their cars two-thirds
