"It was deemed no [longer safe to use them because of the crush of traffic," said a sales re- port. Detroit automobile men noted with interest the passing of the last horse from the once great stables of the Chicago newspaper. And Howard Sneathen, director of commercial car and truck sales for Dodge Brothers, Inc, got down a scrap book and turned to a list of "Don'ts" given in America's first automotive magazine of August 1, 1896, less than a year after the publication began. "Don't let your engine puff in pass- ing frightened horses," said the 32- year-old suggestion. "Shut off the admission of gas and they will immediately stop their prancing and dart past, giving you a chance to let in the gas in time to pre- vent your engine from coming to a stop. "Don't use a gong on your auto- mobile. People hearing them will take them for trolley cars. A vibrat- ing bell should be used." Mr. Sneathen holds that the 1896 horses were well justified in their dis- trust of the high wheeled puffing mo- tor monsters of that now distant day. "Of course there are still plenty of horses about," he said. "There are really far more in service than people suppose. But every day their num- bers are decreasing for commercial purposes."
