SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1912.

W
I Am The Express Want Adf
I live that others may be happy and prosperous.
Every day I carry hundreds of messages to many thou-
sands of men and women. Never was there such a busy
worker, such a tireless worker, as I.
A purse is lost; I restore it.
A home is without a maid, a maid is without a place;
I bring them together.
New furniture is bought. I find a purchaser for the
old. How .many attics have I emptied, to the housewife's
profit!
Is there laundering, scrubbing, whitewashing, paint-
ing, sodding, to be done? Leave it to me!
One man has a house for sale; another is looking for
a home. They consult me, and lo! the house changes
hands.
Bookkeepers, salesmen, stenographers, watchmen—all
kinds of workers—look to me to keep payday alive.
Merchants and manufacturers call me, saying: "I
want such and such help." In the morning they have only
to choose.
How my work is appreciated! People never tire of
praising me! I am so swift, so faithful; yet I make no,,
promises. I simply do the best I can, for one and all.
And how cheaply I work! I have sold second-hand
automobiles at the cost of a gallon of gasoline. A man
bought a piece of property, one day; the next, he sent
me out to sell it; the next, the deed was recorded. He
made $600, less my fee of 30 cents. Is it any wonder I
am popular? And isn't it a wonder I am content to dress
in six-point type? Why, every day somebody telephones,
calling me off the job, saying I have done enough.
I haven't always been as important as I am now. Oh,
dear, no! There was a time when I had very few oppor-
tunities to exercise my talents. I remember how good I
felt when I first filled a column. Every one in the office
talked about it. But now! Well, you can see for your-
self how I have grown. Yet how could I help growing,
when I was all the time doing such wonderful things?
I am still growing. The doctor says it is because my
circulation is so good. I am glad of it. I want to become
more and more useful to the people of this big, beautiful
city. If there are any whom I haven't served, I present
my most respectful compliments and solicit a test of my
powers. As for my old customers, they feel, of course,
that they can't get along without me!

PREDICTS BIG AUTO YEAR
Widely Known Automobile Man Stops
Here on Trip Through the
Country—Sound
Business.
Optimism regarding the automobile out-
look for 11)12 and indefinitely thereafter is
voiced by Joseph It. Drake, treasurer of
the Hupp Motor Car Company or Detroit,
Mich., anifr one of the most widely-known
motorists and builders in the country. Mr.
Drake spent Monday in this city 011 a fly-
ing trip around the country on general
business for his company, in which he is
a large stockholder.
Mr. Drake had charge of the round-the-
world tour of the Hupmobile touring car,
which jaunt was completed recently, mid
his story of that trip is an interesting one.
From Detroit the machine was driven to
the Pacific Coast, shipped thence to Aus-
tralia and New Zealand and other islands
of the Pacific, Including the 'Philippines;
then to <Japan and China, to India, l£gypt,
Europe, and back to New York, whence
the car toured home to Detroit through
heavy snow after a trip lasting fifteen
months. In each country visited the ear
did special stunts, touring through many
lands where the natives never had seen ;<n
automobile.
Regarding the general outlook in tbe
automobile world, Mr. Drake said yester-
day at the Woodward Carriage Company,
local handlers of his machine:
"The building and selling of motor cars
'•an no longer be called a game. The
business now is on the same basis as that
of dry goods. The time of wild-ratting
and whirlwind tactics has passed, and
the motor car now is a sure thing. There
are many good cars on the market. If
they are not good cars they do not last
very long these days. The maker has to
deliver the goods and keep on doing It
and the price must be right. Personally,
I believe rather in the increase in value
than the reduction of price. If a firm
finds it is making a shade more money
than it should get away with, it can get
better results by putting in improve-
ments than in reducing prices.
"The business is moving toward stand-
ardization steadily, and it will be but a
short while before the whole trade is on
that basis. There will be improvements
in many ways, and probably some of these
will be startling ones. But the business
is settled down to the rational and is
making progress tjius.
"This season should be by far the best
yet experienced, barring the unexpected.
The sale of cars should be great all over
the world. 1 find that the lower-priced
American machines are gaining strength
in the favor of foreign countries. Espe-
cially is this true of countries like Aus-
tralia, tvhere few people are able to buy
high-priced foreign machines. The lower-
priced American machine Is built for
rough going, something that cannot be
said of many of the European cars, which
are built; for good roads. For this reason
the United States brand of automobile is
the popular one in many countries where
it would not be expected ordinarily.
"San Antonio and Southwest Texas ! team
should be a motorist's paradise, for here
the motor car does not have to be laid
aside for the winter."
