BUY YOUR AUTOMOBILE NOW. The great automoblie show is open. You should visit it with your children, see and study the highest development of industrial, mechanical and engineering skill and the J» rea test blessing that inventive genius has conferred upon the human race. The development of the automobile marvelous powers in the saving of TIME, LABOR, MONEY, ENERGY, are more important to the nation this year than ever. And this year, more than ever, it is the duty of Government and of the public to encourage and uphold the automobile industry. We need in war the full product of every man’s energy, the complete effort of the able mind. k-’ . • •'■ = •’’A The automoble, saving time for the individual, MULTIPLIES individual efficiency and capacity. The valuable worker, moving rapidly from place to place, THINKING AS HE GOES with comfort and speed, is made infinitely more valuable by the automobile’s power. The great problem of the day is transportation. The automobile helps to solve that problem. The light, powerful gas engine, independent of rails and roads, inexpensive, swift, adapted to all work, is the helper of the professions, of trade, of industry, and of the railroads. What the telelphone has done for the human voice, carrying THOUGHT, ‘he automobile does for the human body, carrying PERSON AL I Y where its work is needed,. Jt is PERSONALITY that solves problems and wins wars. Our chief lack is of men of the higher grade. One first-class man, plus an automobile, becomes THREE first class men, for he can do the work of three. The army general no longer gallops for five hours, exhausting his body and brain, killing his horse, to cover fifty mlies. The high-powered automobile carries him fifty miles in less than an hour, he THINKS and plans as he goes, arrives frestifor his work. The war has taken more lhan half of the best doctors. The automobile works in the P'ace of absent men, enabling one doctor to do the work of two. . The business man, manufacturing, producing, planning, driving his factories to their utmost camultiplies his power by two. The farmer is the foundation ?nd the corner-

stone of the nation’s prosperity, more essential to success in war than the bullets that kill for he keeps alive those that do the fighting. The automobile of all inventions is the farmer’s greatest time-saver. His light, swift-running car takes him to town and back in a few minutes, while his horses, saved from exhausting, tast driving, continue their work at plow or harrow in other hands. Take the automobile from the farmer and you take the food of millions from our national production. Constantly you hear of the farmers increased prosperity—few realize what the engine and the four wheels of the automobile have, done to create that prosperity and the farm s productiveness. The modern automobile and the Great Overland Automobile now on hand represent American efficiency most highly developed, and the most valuable asset, industrial and mechanical, of this nation. Thanks to the automobile producers, the Government found ready-made great bodies of highly trained organized mechanics. Thanks to the automobile men the Government found, generously ready, magnificent factories equipped for most important war work—the making of flying machines, the prbduction of the thousands of trucks and high speed automobiles upon which our army must travel. The man is not a statesman who fails to realize the value of the automobile industry and the duty of Government in protecting, encouraging and building lip that industry, now in war time especially. Material and transportation should |je supplied to the automobile industry as to any other great branch of war manufacture. : What the automobile has done in the past to prepare the factories and the mechanics for the war need of today, the automobile is doing now to prepare this nation the equipment that will be needed when the war ends, and international competition begins. It is the duty of Government to uphold encourage and encourage the automobile industry. It is the duty of the individual that can afford it to encourage that industry as an ing the machine that he can afford—AND EVERY MAN CAN AFFORD SOME MACHINE NOW. Only the man whose time has no real value, whose brain amounts to little, whose energy is not worth while, can truly say, “I do not need an automoblie.” "
