Notwithstanding the great number of automobiles sold, dealers in buggies still have a good trade among the young men of the country districts. It will be a long time before the automobile becomes popular with the country boys for taking their best girls out riding. With an automobile one must pay strict attention to the guiding and manipulating of the machine, or have a chauffeur—which isn’t nice at all when two's a cmopany. With a buggy and horse one can trust a g'tod deal to the hor>o, especially if it has been properly trained for “sparking.”
