What is costs in money, time, worry and anxiety, if wife, children
or husband break down in health?
Big medical fees and possibly passage monies, hotel expenses, leaving your business in other hands. A thundering heavy bill to foot, to say nothing of the lessened vitality.
ELIMINATE SOME OF THESE RISKS.
We live in a motoring age. Motoring is a most healthful and en- joyable mode of recreation. The man who can afford a car and does not buy one in robbing himself of one of the best things of life. If he has a family his omission is worse.

Just look at the prices we are quoting now for our well-tried brand
of new cars.
