MOTORING AN AID TO HEALTH

R.A. Palmer of Cartercar

THE automobile has saved our Nation from becoming a race of weaklings. Brown-skinned, hardy-fleshed men at desks are the rule to-day. Where do they acquire this health? Motoring. The same is true of whole families. Our city streets are becoming cleaner, our State roads resembling boulevards. Instead of the difference between city and country social life, the two are understanding each other better. The distance between them has been shortened. In a very few years the immense west of our great country will be brought together by the automobile. Farmers will use them as well as all of our business firms. The day when the automobile will be a common vehicle is not far distant. It only remains for a few finishing touches to be put upon the aeroplane, and it will them become the aristocrat's mode of travel. While he spends his money in aerial flights, the public at large will ride in practical, simplified motorcars. The simplified, economical, reliable, reasonable priced cars will always be in demand.
