Grady, manager of Lhe Grady Motor company, local distributors for the Roo automobiles and commercial wagons, wag-ons, gave out the following yesterday: No other invention of man lias contributed con-tributed so largely to the health, the wealth and the happiness of the farmer as the automobile and the motor mo-tor truck. The railroad opened up a few roads but the motor car opens up every acre of ground and brings it nearer the centers of population. The railroad raised the value of farm products the motor car increased in-creased those values still more by marketing them quicker. The telegraph and telephone put the farm in communication with the city the mo to-. car does that and more puts the farmer and his family fam-ily in physical as well as mental communication com-munication with the markets and the social life of the city. The printing pi ess disseminates intelligence, in-telligence, the motor car accelerates that dissemination. F-very acre of ground has been enhanced en-hanced in value by the motor car. Every family has been benefited. Every bushel of farm produce and every animal raised is worth more today to-day because of the motor truck. For the motor truck not only takes the animals to market, but the automobile auto-mobile uses the hide, and thereby increases in-creases . the value of that. Every gallon of milk, every pound of butter, every dozen eggs is worth more, because they can be delivered quicker and fresher by the motor car. |
