Motor I908 by JOHN W. BANNISTER, v A To try to describe all the amusing things that were looked upon as 'the very latest' thirty years ago, would be impossible in so short an article. I shall concentrate on one thing that interested me, the automobile of nineteen hundred and eight. Here are a few of the ultra-modern features found only on the best mnzlels. The Winton had a douche under each wheel to cool off the tires when the car was running. It sprayed a fine stream of water against each of the tires and was controlled by a hand pump which the driver operated from his seat. The Isotta, fthe Desoto's grandfatherl, car- ried a spare tire on the roof. To get at it, a folding ladder was supplied at no extra cost. For puncture protection someone invented a band of round steel plates which were called armour plate. With them you were supposed to be able to drive over bottles, nails, stones and rocky ruts with- out danger of puncture. No mention was made of the fact that a car equipped with Armour Plate made as much noise as a cross between a stone crusher and a threshing machine. Evidently there were 'back seat drivers' as far back as 1908, for among the accessories available, was a horn called 'the Jericho' which could be op- erated by the driver and passenger at the same time. At least, we can be thankful that there is no such thing on the market today. Some people complain about the noisy horns on our cars of today. Thirty years ago, a great many cars were equipped with a combination horn and siren which could be heard clearly from three to five miles. CC'0n.'z'11ued 011 Page 783 Irate Parent: School work? Do you mean to tell me that sitting on the sofa all night with that young whipper-snapper is school Work? Elma Baldrey: Why yes. We take it in P.T., and they call it setting-up exercises. 5TlcK'EMUp.LAmD I3,..-,.--- Dorvr MAKE A soufvn. t . - J , 152:31 W . g ef-3155 r,, I 4 'sigh ,ff H hugs '?1' P . is L 'Z - ' f QQE :lil 55555. .am v QI' :lla ll N' l ' .liil gg, y- EIB Y' ,ill lass: ' IIVIII AI' Ill 4 v :sr ::: 5 It yer :za :ar Q -'i ., . 4i!!llll ' QQ - Qfag!-Z I mr--' . 1 fs 5 fails rgig? tate ---l if M e p esfsig' ' L ien W TT fgfr 2 -ELQQ? ggi? Q Keene The Keene Antique by rtEANoR scorr, :VA Vtfhen Grandpop heard a crash and bang, Then saw a cloud of dust, He was durn near blowed off his feet, So he began to cuss! What's this world acomin' to With that thar horseless truck? Everytime I hear the thing- I prays and then I ducks. It had a horn and everythin' And wore a coat of green, It was the newest vehicle, Grandpop had ever seen. In them days it ran quite well, Scarce ever made a fussg In them days when Grandpop lived, It was a first rate bus. It never could go very fast, 'Thirty' was dead high, But it's still arunin' the same route, From Keene to P.C.I.l They've gone and painted it bright blue, But still it is a freakg They can't afool us anyhow, We know the Keene Antique.
