» 10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 They Were Wont To Speak Thus of Dobbin, But-- By ANONYMOUS My first reason for loving Lizzie is that she travels so long for so little. One gallon of gas at 15 cents will do her for twenty odd miles. I say odd, be- cause it's odd how close she keeps to twenty. And, again, I love my Lizzie because if she loses any part, no matter how large or complicated, I can get it at the nearest notion counter for a few cents. And last summer she bent her front axle an expert mechanic straightened it out jor a paltry one dollar and fifty-four cents. I have found that, except for tires, I need for her support only what those who own Packards or Jordans would regard as tips. Lizzie has worn well. Like Cleo- patra Age cannot wither her, nor cus- tom stale Her infinite variety. Every morning sees some change in her. If it isn't a spark plug gone on a vacation, it is a broken fan belt or a dead tail light. Yesterday she flew up a hill like an untrammeled Pagasus; today she barely staggers to the top. But this variety only endears her to me, It proves her humanity, her always mut- able femininity. She and I have lived and loved to- gether. For over twenty-four moons we have experienced together life's ups and downs. I could not throw her in as part payment for any other car, not even for another Elizabeth. Through storm and sunshine we have traveled to- gether, Lizzie and I; the wetter the weather, the pleasanter has been our companionship. Often on a winter's day she has refused to budge until, with my own hand, I have caressed, coaxed and cajoled her. Then with a snort of af- fection, she has suddenly started up, and off we've gone. So patient is Lizzie. So long-suffer- ing and uncomplaining. Never a cross word has she spoken. Never has she back-fired. Only once did she give up and that was when she was utterly fam- ished for want of gas. She has been a faithful pal, and when I get to the other shore 1 know she will be there waiting to take me to St. Peter's resi- dence. Even now as I write these words she is standing quietly in our lovely little portable garage awaiting my morning advent. Well do I know how her little frame will quiver when I turn on the spark, give her some gas, and step on the starter! Never fear, Lizzie, I'll be TALKING ABOUT SAFETY Only the QUICK and the DIXAD are safe from automo- bile traffic these days. If you have a Policy in the old Aetna Life Insurance Company with (199) Million dollars to pay Claims you can enjoy a ride, knowing if an accident happens you will receive compensation. $5,000 for a Life and Damage to Property for $1,000 CLARK T.
