VAN WERT, OHIO 
The other day we got a new small 
automobile which cost less than $700. 
It is smooth, quiet, fairly comfortable 
and fast. Out driving yesterday, we

neglect traveling. 
Van Wert is in the western part 
of Ohio, just a few miles from the In¬ 
diana line. It is safe to say that more 
than half of the adult population have 
never seen the Atlantic ocean, Wash¬

Potomac from Mount Vernon. They 
consider these as far distant points 
and have a hazy idea that some time 
when they have a couple of weeks off 
they will go there. 
Yet last summer a friend of ours 
had to make a trip to Norfolk, Vir¬ 
ginia. He got up early one morning 
and was in Washington early the same 
evening, driving a small car. 
‘T wasn’t particularly tired and 
might easily have gone on to Norfolk 
that night,” he said. “And the trip 
to Washington cost only a few dol¬

We dare say that some of you 
people reading this who live in the east 
have never been out to Detroit to see 
the automobile capital of the world or 
haven’t visited the fine cities and beau-
