A BLESSING ON WHEELS. “Difficulties of housing and social contentment are being solved by the car. The charabanc, to which many people have taken such violent exception, has been the instrument of more industrial goodwill, more education, and more happiness than all the lectures, soup kitchens, and free legal advice' ever afforded to a long-suffer-ing public. Lot us encourage comfort and avoid waste of physical" energy by every means known to science. The motor-car is the best of all weapons for this purpose. Does anyone grudge the educational possibilities of the motor tour to young people, who have far more to learn than their grandparents in a much shorter space of time? The motor car is the poor man’s yacht, magic carpet, Riviera, and school all rolled into one at the cost of a little monthly economy to the benefit of a highly successful British industry.”—Professor A. M. Low. in the “Sunday Dispatch.”
