When the refinements that are now incorporated in all makes of motor cars are considered, it seems almost idie prattle for manufacturers to still advertise ad-vertise additional improvements. Hut this feature is but one that has made the United States great and particularly particu-larly has it been tho mentor and slogan slo-gan of the auto-fraternity. Eurocai refinements in auto construction con-struction are constantly being played up as immeasurably superior to those incorporated in the American-made car. It is largely a matter of opinion and j knowing that tho American car is today much more road worthy than the average foreign car, -with all its rich endowments of upholstering, handmade hand-made engines and laminated steel chas-1 chas-1 sis, it becomes apparent to the average rerson that the foreign car represents ' refinement" practically gone mad. Cars That Last. "v The automobile manufacturers of this country have not been swayed by the pe iteness and ultra-elegance of the Ivu-rojean-made auto to the extent that they have considered sacrificing the sturdiness and efficiency of their cars for the ephemeral effect of magnificence. magnifi-cence. Thoy have built a comfortable enr, a handsome car, with a good engine en-gine designed to last and to arag its load over the rough roads of the country coun-try at an average high speed; and, above all else, they have built their cars to f ndurc. The larger and most of the smaller cars today are designed along lines that influro tho most in safety nnd pleasure for nil motorists, be they men or women. I A fullv equipped American auto is not I only a" thing of beauty nnd a joy for- ever, but has all the refinements that are necessary and a few efficient features fea-tures added that cannot be found in any other car no matter where it is mode. What becomes of the old cars? In the good old days they were sent to the scrap heap. They went the way common com-mon to all junk, from tin cans to threshing thresh-ing machines. After circulating around doing various duties, like badly worn dollars stiff oring from too nuu-h abrasion, abra-sion, they wero finally called in, smashed up with a sixteen-pomul hammer ham-mer and sent back to the metal refiners to be melted down and recast into commercially shaped iron. Thus your old auto may have become part of a sled runner, a baby carriage or a tow- i ering steel skeletoned edifices. Efficiency and the needs of tho hour have destined tho old auto for a more I glorious and beneficent end. Todav ihe old autos arc being largely made over into trucks and not a few have been hitched to plows and made to help out in the great scheme of production I that is now, perforce, the slogan of ail loyal Americans. 1 The photo herewith aptly demon-1 strates the utilitarian use to which many old motor cars have been put and shows the owner of an old and discarded dis-carded car the ultimate good that may be gotten out of it if a little expense is added to fit it for duty as a tiller of the soil. With waning man power and with greater production and conservation becoming be-coming more and more paramount, as the war with autocracy lengthens out, it would seem that the old cars their number is legion are destined to be-I be-I conm a real blessing to the farmers of ! the land.
