During the year I have cndcAvorcd to serve your interests for vour benefit and will continue toward that end during the coming year. Yours truly. â€"JOHN A. DAVIS. Always drive fast out of alleys. Always race with locomotives tc crossings. Engineers like it; it breaks the monotony of their jobs. -Always pass t'ne car ahead on r. curve or a turn. Don't use you: horn. It may unnerve the other fellow and cau.«;e him to tui-n cut toe far. AJways demand half the road â€" tht middle half. Insist on youi- rights. Always speed; it shows people you are a man of pep, even though you are an amateur driver. In slippery weather drive close to pedestrians; dry cleaners IHce it. Never stop, look or listen at rail- way crossings. It consumes time. Drive confidentially, just as if there were not eighteen million cars in service. .A>ways lock your brakes when skidding, it makes the job more art- istic. Always pas)s cars on hills. It shows you have more power; and you can turn out if you meet a car at thc- top. Never look around when you are backing up. There is never any- thing behind you. Mr. John D.
