New York —Thomas A Edison has

to pat on the market within six

will enable every man to travel in his
own private carriage at about the
cost of car fare. Without danger,
without breakdowns, without cost, al
most, a carriage, once supplied with
the new power for $200, will travel
without repairs for 15 years, for 100,
