In fact, in Lon- don a determined effort was made in parliament to check the noises, smells, vibrations, smoke and noxious gases caused by the rapidly increasing use of motor cars. Property owners complained oi the sleep-destroying racket, dust, cracked plaster, and reduced rentals, besides the ever constant danger of being run down by one of these speeding vehicles. CI might mention here that the speed limit in Lon- don at that time was live miles an hourj. A few models carried a rumble seat behind the rear seat, for the chauffeur. pu PHDNE For a while, electric cars were very popular. These I ,FDR were run on batteries which had to be recharged at - I T I least every seventy tive miles. They were capable ' of a top speed of twenty miles an hour. Gasoline service stations were unknown. Gas was purchased fd chiefly in large quantities, and stored by the car owners in large storage tanks under the ground. A CHAS. H.

They certainly wrapped themselves up like Egyptian mummies. The well-dressed man wore long leather gloves which came almost up to his elbows, a fur- lined auto coat, high boots, a muffler, a fur cap and goggles. The women wore even more. Their fur- lined boots came almost up to their knees. In really cold weather, they put on a robe sack that looked as cumbersome as a modern sleeping bag. Thirty years ago, spare tires were often carried in boxes. Imagine the feelings of the 1908 motorist who, when stopped by a blowout, nine miles from any- where, made the awful discovery that his wife had utilized his spare tire box to accommodate her latest hat, a 36 inch by 5 inch creation from Paris. The people of Peterborough were fortunate in having one of these ancient cars in their midst until last year when Mr. Petit very reluctantly traded in his faithful old Studebaker, for a 1937 model. It was reported to be the oldest car in Peterborough still in running order. Use OUR N R G BRAND With Any Slimming Diet Purity Bakeries Ltd.
