To which clasa do yon bolong? Tho question Is pertinent. It nf fectH all, whethor tholr Inconio Is $100 a month or $5,000 a year-. Tho nuto Is no longer n luxury, and ti toy Tor tho rich. It Is tho friend or tho comparatively poor man as well as of tho wealthy. And never, as In this year or l!Hfi, Iuib tho auto hoon within tho reach of as many people. Ab an actual fact there nro boiiio n, 000,000 men in tho United States Vlio aro ournliifj: more than $1,200 a year. Every ono of thoao men can rifford un automobile. Yet It Is ex pected that only 1,200,000 automo biles will ho built tho coming year. You will have to fight for your car. Tho factories v 1 1 1 not bo ablo to keep up with tho demand. And why is It that so many fam ilies nro going to buy cars? That's simple enough. Tho automobllo has lvomo a necessity, not a luxury. LI No nil necessities, It doesn't cost mora than tho ordinary man can af ford. Health Is a necessity as much as food Is. Tho automobile has giv en health to moro pcoplo than uthlot lrn huvu. Any doctor will toll you that tho steady uso of a car will mid yours to your life. That'n a no e,esslty, not n luxury. The automobllo is u timo-aavor. You would be astoulshod at tho add ed amount of business which a car owner can transact. Ho is bis own street enr, railroad man, taxi and telephone Ho moots a man at an offlco miles away from his own of flfo and closes a deal with him, will In you without a car, are wondbrng what you are going to do noxt. Tho what you aro going to do next. The year It) 10 demands speed. The oar gives It. That's a necessity, not a luxury. , You can't argue against It. Eight years ago tbe average cost -of a car was $212:1. Last year tho average cost was $l72. If you drlvo your rar 20 miles u day, it co3ts you 10 cants a mile. Double that dlstttnco and it costs you It cents n mile mere street car faro. And you take the whole family anywhere, at any time. That's not luxury, It's a no. cosslty. All tho United States Is divided into two classes tho pcoplo who own automobiles and those who do not. Which class do you belong to? $ t WITH THE TEA ! t AND THE TOAST I CLEAN UP! Everyone Should (Jet Busy With Mack Yard, Front Yard and Flower Garden. I SUItEl jProoraBlInatlon does not pay, And nmny try It to tholr sorrow, "Bo we should never put off today Tho clean-up wo can do tomorrow.
