: The Garford Motor Truck company
Of Lima, Ohio, has taken the Initiative
In an educational campaign' for the
sole purpose of increasing public In

and to Influential people throughout

that half a million copies of the book

"The public is gradually awakening
to the Importance of r permanent road
construction, says the booklet. ' "But
with only 10 per cent of the publlo
roads in the United States improve
and many states with less than; five
per. cent of improved roads, we are

improvement, because of a lack of un
derstanding of its value to their own
communities. - ,

for going to town. The farmer was
satisfied to drive through the mud and
over tne rough roads.. Unfortunately,
in many sections they continue to be

Elbert Hubbard was a. rlnx. ,tui.nt

contemporary to his times. He found

that he touched, he . injected a spirit

Mr. Hubbard was as areat an: ad
