"Everyone is familiar with the extent to which President Wilson used his official motor car, and President Harding is an enthus iastic motor fan. "This indicates the wonderful progress motor transportation has made in the past twenty years. "When President McKinley adopted the automobile, were only 3.700 motor cars in the United States. People did not believe the automobile would ever be other than a plaything. "President Wilson's car was only one of more than seven and a half millions.

And a most important part of it the right to choose what you buy bestowed upon you by advertising. Advertising is as much a part of today's life as electri city, antiseptic surgery or motor traction. It is the system whereby a man who has something to sell tells about it to those who do or should use it. For no one can want any thing until he knows of its existence. Advertising is the way by which you are told why you should have certain goods and how to identify those goods. So the advertisements you find in this newspaper make up a catalog of needed merchandise. Articles of all kinds and for all purposes are presented in a pleasant way through the medium of type and pic tures. The outstanding requirements of every member of the family are met by offers of good merchandise of proved value. The advertisements will help you in the selection of all manner of things.
