Ours, perhaps. hare added a little more com- fort than the old invention. but, strangely enough they have added tar more to our toil. An ancient lnventor would be amazed at the wonders we've wrought, but he would be equally amazed to see how hard ‘wo work. In the Western world men invented, the llama and the turkey. In Asia' they invented the camel. as n freight; car or van. And one ot Henry Ford's, predecessors. several thousand years; back, invented cheap and swift tram». portation by taming the horse.
