Show ONE HOUSE, IK NOT IE SOTO? Arguments Advanced in Favor of Sedan .by Head of the National Association Harry B. Harper, of Philadelphia, president of the National Automobile Dealers' Association, has a vivid and interesting statement In regards to the present trend toward Sedan-type motor mo-tor cars. Mr. Harper Says: "A house with a canvas roof Is a little better than a tent, but not much. The average man doesn't buy one house for winter and another for summer. lie makes tho one house do all season for himself and family. "The first motor buyers bought cars without tops and, and paid extra for them and seldom used them. Tho motor mot-or car rider took everybody's dust, for ho had no protection. Tho top was only for a rainy day and invariably he got wet for the rain does not always advertise its coming. 3Sven when "it docs. It Is human nature to wait until the last minute. "It Is a question whether any motor car owner drives with the top dQwn more than five per cent of the time. Why then use a temporary cover permanently? per-manently? "There is no argument against enclosed en-closed cars for winter. Every one admits ad-mits their superiority. There may be a few occasions during the summer when a car with the top down is desirable de-sirable Supposing there aro ten such occasions. That's 355 against ten. "A Sedan keeps out heat and cold, dust and rain, wind and bugs. Tho ordinary top keeps out some of the j rain. A Sedan top looks good all tho , time. A touring car top looks best ; when it is folded up an,d covered." i on |
