Take the case of Canada. Here is a vast country, one which truly is en- titled to the term of “magnificent dis- tances.” It has a great land area of 3,729,665 miles. Most of it is rich, agricultural land, worthy of develop- ment. Ho wis this great fertile stretch of land to be reached in a country with- out a fine network oz railroads which would be required to touch this land? By Automobile, of course. And so in Canada, which is a rapidly growing | country, the automobile is a most im- portant factor in the development which is going on all the time. The automobile is of vital importance and here it is used strictly in a. trans- portation. sen as a means of quick conveyance. We all know has been the »: value of land. 4 in Canada. It ! ference.
