Saturday Evening, Jun, THE EUGENE GUARD Tngo Twelve legislature has had to repeal it. This was the law: "The traveling motorist is ordered to telephone ahead to the next town of his coming so that owners of nerv ous horses may be warned in ad vance." Nowadays, It's a rare occasion when an Iowa motorist passes a horse on the highway.

Some people were already talking about "the saturation point" being not far ahead. But if there were some men who couldn't see the woods for the trees, there were others whose faith never faltered. ' It took a lot of vision for them to see that the true market for the auto mobile had hardly been touched. It took a lot of courage for them to bank on the ultimate success of the automohile in that market. They had both. Back in 1D15, the United States Kubber company said "The real fu ture of the automobile is not in the big cities hut away , from them." It is not in short runs on city, streets, but in mile after mile on country roads." So back in 191"i the United States Rubber company began to prepare for this movement and to help it. In IIH") ten years ago the first IJ. S. Tire advertising began to ap pear in the "home town" papers, Few. people snwi these papers in their true dimension. Few realized the influence they had on what the people thought and did and wore and bought. Because few people realized the place they filled in the minds and lives of their readers. The United States Rubber company saw. As clearly as it saw that the devel opment of the automobile would be in the smaller communities, it saw that the people in these communities would have to have tires to measure up to the service and tire merchants up to them. And it sAv that in the "home town" newspapers it had, ready to hand, the medium to help it put tire merchan dising where it would have to be in the new era of the automobile. So ten years ago people began to read the first U. S. Tire advertising in their "home town" paper over the name of their "home town" dealer. ' They have been rending it ever since. . They have seen these home dealers develop their little "side line of tires" into rent business always with tho support of "I S." advertising in these local papers. t'o-incident with the tenth anniver sary of "home town" advertising by the United States Rubber company, 'his company announces another long step forward in the perfection of au tomobiles tires the greatest since the introduction of the cord itself in its perfected Latex treated Web ( 'ord Royal Balloon Tire with the flat low pressure trend. Today there are 1(1,00(1,000 automo biles in this country. S I per cent of them are owned by men and women on the farms and in the smaller communities, Where there was one U. S; tin dealer in the small towns then there are hundreds today real merchants. What was only a vision in 101.") has come true in 10"o. LOS ANGELES, June 0. Motor ists belonging to the Automobile Club of Southern California now have the assistance of the club to pay for their automobiles and for their auto insur ance. This Is a new form of club service offered motorists. The organization has made arrange ments with a large securities company to finance purchase of automobiles for its members and to arrange for payment of insurance premiums. Since it is'estimated that 80 per cent of the cars bought today are taken out on the deferred payment basis, this work is expected to increase the activities of the club considerably. Its mem bership is 107,000. . In the financing of premiums for their auto insurance, members may now apportion these amounts over the year, as they do-their payments on their cars. . These facilities practically com plete all the transactions relating to the ownership and operation of nn automobiles, mode entirely within the club service. Insuring the motorist for automo bile liabilities and other automotive security has been part of the club's work for some years. It has brought down the auto rates considerably and has even helped reduce insurance costs in southern California.
