Overview

Excerpt from International Auto Buggies and Auto Wagons The designers of the International auto buggy considered serviceability as the first requisite. A century of carriage building has taught makers that lightness and strength were absolutely necessary in vehicles for country, town, and rural roads. The combination of both these features has resulted in the International auto buggy, a car that has all the advantages of a buggy and none of its disadvantages, and for this reason it is the only logical successor to the horse and buggy. The high wheels give abundant road clearance and the solid rubber tires elim inate tire troubles. So great is the difference in cost that an entire set of solid rubber tires can be purchased for the price of one good pneumatic tire. These features eliminate the excessive cost that is common to the automobile with pneu matic tires. It means greater service and a more dependable car, for the simple reason that the driver is not obliged to stop and repair a puncture when he is several miles in the country. One great feature of the International auto buggy that will appeal to every user of country roads is the fact that this car does no more harm to any roadbed than the ordinary spring wagon, which cannot be said of high-speed pneumatic-tire machines. For this reason the International auto buggy will commend itself to all those who desire good roads, and particularly to those who are taxed heavily for their maintenance.
