Then you are told: "If your neighbourhood hasn't a convenient garage, move to one that has." The advice is unnecessary. so far as the small villages of the Middle West are concerned; there the majority deal in second hand cars, and these they scorn to shelter. The vehicles are left outside covered with mud and exposed to all the inclemencies of the weather until their day of usefulness is over.
Many shopkeepers and others when they depart for the south in the winter months leave their cara behind them in the open, merely taking the precaution before their departure to remove the sparking plugs and the timing mechanism.- Lastly, at the motor show we are told: This is the automobile age.
