Today and 20 'Years Ago
It la a fur cry today from the ef
ficient little business car, the mas
ufficeut, luxurious and expensive
pleasure machines and the powerful
great motor trucks back to the days
of the first lit Ho one-iung, coughing
vehicle, that was the first slop in tho
realization of the develotiiont of the
modern automobile. The passing ol
the years and not bo very many of
them, at that have Kfl a few -relics
of the first roisy machines, but tho
memories of them mostly linger In
the memories of the people. All of
us who have lived- for twenty year3
or moie can call to mind vivid 'pic
tures of the contraptions whose pro
gress was sustained by an odorsome
and noisy gasoline engine and con
trolled by a "stick." In theso days
when fine machines are so common It
sometimes gives one pleasure to
think back upon the tirst "gas
wagon," with their chain drive, their
pc.vor of attaining a speed in many
cases nearly fifteen miles per hour.,
nnd their ever-effective faculty of
rousing from his slumber the plodd
ing old family driver, as he Htole a
few winks of sleep while hauling the
family carlole to town, or sendlns
the nervous and hlgh-soirited. horse
into an exhibition of dancing along
tho, public highway or In the ditch
that wraa decidedly uncomfot table fo
tho persons who might happen to bt
In the rig behind him. Many motor
ists in the early stages of the gamo,
had to be very careful about choos
ing their loads and their time of day
for travel, so as to avoid having all
the buggies and harness In the coun
trystde smashed up.
And no less wondorful than tho
development of the automobilo hnn

In tho nation it is one of the busiest
and most profitable of business enter
