After a few minutes one asked, idly, “Say, Benton, why is it you don’t

own a car?”

“Don’t want one; can’t afford it”

“Oh, that’s nonsense. What do yon mean by ‘can’t afford hT

“Ihct. Haven't got toe money.” “Well, if yon haven’t, why haven’t yon?”

That wu a new question to Mr. Benton. Of ooune he won’t ridk, hut these ma knew be didn’t need a correspondence course to teach him

how to can a very deoat living.

“Well,” he said, “I suppose I could buy one of the darn tilings if I wanted to. but they are more trouble than they are worth. We have goal taxi service in our town, and, anyway, every time I really need to go anywhere in an automobile I generally find that someone cornu along.”

Here his other friend took a hand.

“What we are talking about,” he said, “is why you don't own your own private means of transportation. That is what people have always wanted to own and what they should own.

“A car,” broke in Mr. Baton, “would be useful to take me to a lot of J0

You know that." “Bnt a sedan with all that extra weight to pull around!” “Yon don't pull the weight, Benton. The engine does that. You Just sit np there and drive. It is no strain on your muscles." Mr. Benton laughed and went home. To his wife he said. “I am thinking of buying a sedan." She showed no surprise, bit said, “Have we the money?” * If I haven’t the cash, I am worth it.” Next day Benton asked his friends what cars they drove. Both owned Buicks. A week later Mr. Benton walked into the Buick place. A salesman approached and asked what he could do. Mr. Benton hesitated He hadn’t prepared a speech. Then he said, 4 T would like to buy a seven-passenger sedan.” The ■*!—man started to explain the fine points of the car. Mr. Baton said, "What is the price?” Hr was told. He asked about delivery.
