D UTILITY 1

FUNCTION OF AUTOMOBILE

Men Make Mistake in Think-1 ing of Automobile Merely I as Pleasure Car i ET GEORGE M. G HA HAM ice-Pres. The Chandler Motor Co. There are still in this country tu.n millions of persons who think of highway. and automobiles as having to do alone with pleasure. We do not apologize for the fact that tie automobile is an important medium of diversion. This is Quite legitimate, but it is important that us utility function be properly rec-j ognized.. Those who think of ihe automobile fit rely as a " pleasure car" have perhaps never contemplated what a t?rriffic real estate upheaval there would he if the passenger carrying and the freight carrying truck should suddenly be withdrawn. Th evil consequences resulting would effect both city and rural population; Within the last twenty years, farmers have found It possible to so beyond unproductive or unprofiatde and. purchased originally merely because It was contiguous to steam raiivt-avs. They have penetrated further and further into remote rural sections, because in the motor truck they have a connecting link between the point of marketing. Records of the United States Bureau of Roads show that the farmer's haul to market has Increased from 6.9 mile sto 17.6 miles, an expansion based entirely on motor truck haulage. If the motor truck should be eliminated what would happen to farm land values can be readily Imagined. Similar wouTd"oe the baneful effect on city dwellers. . The city man no longer lives in the city. He has gone far Into the suburbs. It will be found by analysis of conditions in any great ci'ty that its central portion is more and more givh over to commerce and manufacturing, and that the residence section constantly moves farther into the suburbs. The man of wealth, the man of only reasonable means, finds that the automobile gives him ready touch with the heart of the city. He ever has at hand a medium of individual transportation. In this one point alone is the assurance of the permanency of the automobile business. Therefore, the automobile and the motor truck actually contitute a kind of .real estate insurance. I have used the term "Individual transportation." I should like to analyze that term to some extent, ami undertake to show a most interest ing reversion of method. Generally speaking, the impulse of ur life has been to progress from individualism to centralization. Our county began as an association of individual states, but their boundary lines seem constantly to become less . important and the Federal idea more dominant. The experience of the workman and manufacturing processes affords anther example. Formerly the workman's productiveness depended upon and was represented by his possession of the tools of his craft. The carpenter ( with his saw, the shoemaar with j his awl, the blacksmith his hammer.! the printer with his stick, carried ! his trade with him wherever he went, lhat was individualism. Then came a great modern devel - opment. Hugh machines supplanted the tool. They enormously increased the ratio of production. You illustrate the tendency of centralization in your own home every day. Tou don't go down to th pump or to the well for water. Tou don't light, the kersene lamp. In many i ases ou don't even produce your own heat. All these come from central power plants. Thi3 is centralization. At one period, for centruics. in fact, individualism dominated transportation. The man with a horse and wagon, the man with a boat, tioth are instances. Then great steamships, steam railways and electric trolleys took the transportation rredium from the individuals. This was combination, improved public service, nad these great mediums will always be. with us in a place of commanding importance. Put transportation has always been a return to the individual facilities, a most unusual development. In both freight haulage and passenger transportation the motor vehicle has turned back the hands on the face of the clock of time, nad we now supplement centralized transportation with an individual medium, subject entirely to your own whif, preference or need. This is great economic develop ment. It is rotent no wand destined I to be still more so. As background I should like to draw you a rapid picture of transportation development. We, in tHis country, are great admirers of the pioneer. iOontinued on page seven.)

"Maybe they thought 1 was joking when I said that any man who drinks moonshine is a fool. Because there certainly must be a lot of fools in the world and all of them don't live outside of Hammon-d either. I call your attention, young man to the horrors of moonshine. Give a look af these derelicts drifted in over the week-end." And with a flourish Sergeant See swept before the gaze of the startled "young man" the poor creatures, ou lawed by society because they ar victims of a dominating weakness, and who find momentary success of sorrow in the anodyne of slow death. They were charged with intoxication. "They should be charged with attempted suicide." said See. They gave their names ar Hnro'd W. Ward, age 36; John Doe. aged 24: Totn O'Connor, aged 5S; John O'Hara aged 50; Irving Weber, aged 3S: Rob ert Walton, age 43; Martin Cavansugh. aged 13 and Martin Hennessey, aged 73 years.
