From the standpoint of patriotism you have no greater duty, to your Government than your duty to broaden your business to its widest ex tent, to increase your business efficiency to the ?ith degree. That is the outstanding patriotic duty of the American business man. Only by per forming that duty, can you be of the greatest help to the Government. Men of big business interests realize how the automobile has in creased their efficiency. It will do the same for you. It will give you more time, make your days longer, widen your range of activity. It will save you energy, enable you to do more, keep you fit. It will make you a greater productive and supporting unit of the nation. That is the reason why the great directors of our national affairs all use cars; most of them new ones that have just been purchased. If you are deterred from buying an automobile by the thought that the Government may need the money which you will pay for it, please bear in mind that, if the Government needs that money, it can as readily take it from the automobile dealer or from those to whom he passes it along, as from you. If you spend your money freely but wisely, you are a better patriot than the man who hoards his money. From the standpoint of personal advantage, you show your wis dom and foresight by buying an automobile now, because: (1) You can get an automobile immediately, if you buy now. But, if you defer ordering until later, the probabilities are that you will have to wait a long while for its delivery, due to the problematic forecast of the manufacturing situation and freight conditions. (2) Automobiles are undeniably lower in price than they will be later on. A purchase now is a better investment. These personal advantages are intensified by the purchase of an enclosed car, because the comforts and other features peculiar to an en closed car are most desirable now. It is, therefore, not only proper, but highly advisable, that you order an automobile now. Very truly yours, ' AUTOMOBILE SALES CORPORATION. 144 North Broad Street. President.
