Automobile Affecting Country Stores Rural stores are being forced into the position of bringing their shelves up to date or going out of business, according to Bulletin No. 19 of the University of Illinois re cently published. The presence of the automobile and the motor truck makes It pos sible for the crossroads store to get supplies for its customers more quickly. On the other hand, the customer is able to go to large tridlng centers, and accordingly the general rural store cannot hold its business unless it keeps abreast of the times. In this study of Illinois merch ants, 55 per cent were reported to have sales holding steadily or in- crastog,-wbile 45 per cent had af decline. - Full vision is required for safe driving now that there are more than 23,000,000 automobiles reg istered in this country.

More and. more vacationists are turning to anto travel and more and more. they are demanding comfort and refinement in the bodies of their cars as well as sturdlness and quite In what Is under the hood. The demands of the motoring public have been Impressed on the factory and from them the manu facturers have evolved cars that Incorporate comfort, beauty, safe ty and engine dependability The engineering and sales de partments of the Oakland Motor Car company have worked tireless ly in cooperation with the Fisher Body corporation to bring about tnis co-ordination or tmiixy ana comfort so that in the Oakland or Pontiac cars of today the tourist has an automobile which stands every test. With the roads becoming more and more crowded, efforts of body engineers and designers have been devoted considerably towards In creasing the factor of safety. Cor ner posts have been cut down to give the widest possible range of TlnloTt while retaining the full strength of the. body. The blind spots of yesterday have been wip ed out in the cars of today, in making a left hand turn on a sweeping highway now,the driver no longer has to crane his neca around to see if a car is approach ing the other way.

W. Parker Tire Co. of Salem, Firestone deal ers in SEalem. "Motor cars are equipped with tires that are ample for any or dinary use, providedhey are in flated to the correct pressure. However, most motorists abuse their tires by overloading them and through failure to keep them 'pumped up. "Oversiring allows a much greater margin of safety, and In MEAN MORE MILES It costs less than 5 mills per mile to change the crankcase every 500 miles Monroe S.

There are many advanr -tages to using oversize tires, iin:i v. eluding more comfortable riding, better braking with less tendency toH to skid, and less tire trouble. The. larger tire is not so easily cut or: i bruised and the tread wears much " 't longer. "Last but not, least, the over size tire will average far greater mileage, which in terms of cost per mile, means economy. In tires as in everything else, It pays to , ,f buy dependable, quality merchan-' ' dise and Pirestones hare a long ' ' esiaDiisnea reputation tor being V f the leader in that field." Not so long ago bumpers were considered an extra accessory and few cars had them. Today, with .increased traffic and limited park ing space, they are a necessity and are standard equipment on a few of the better cars. Oldsmobiles not only are equipped with bump ers at the factory but they are mounted in rubber and chrome plated to give additional wear.
