WUTOS HAVE MADE A NATION OF MECHANICS, FRED HANDLER SAYS By FRED C. CHANDLER, Pres., The Chandler Motor Car Co.

Although the modern automobile is as near “fool proof” as it is pos- sible to make any piece of machin- ery, and practically no mechanical knowledge is necessary to operate it, nevertheless the motor car may be credited with being a big influ- ence in the education of virtually millions of persons in mechanics, at east of an elementary nature. Just as it is almost a universal trait for a child to be inquisitive re- gardjng the workings, or insides, of a piece of machinery—a watch, for instance—so does it naturally follow that a man, or a woman, who owns and operates an automobile event- ually learns many of the principles of mechanics as exemplified in the car. and facilities. of the house.
