Friday, Feb. 27, 1925 J lie Who Kidcs l*ayn. . A intent issue of the Pee Pet- Ad vocate carries an interesting human interest story of the experiences, fi nancial and otherwise, of a negro flivver owner, who sums up the pres ent penniless condition of himself and family with this expression: "lis jes' rode." According to his story t!i darkey last August bought a KOrd car from 'tin- inan on whose fai'tn h0 worked for $200; he.bought it on time ?of course, the crop landing for the debt. He recounted many trips he ? and 'his family had taken in the car; he also told of garage repairs running up since August to $110. Of course there hffd to l>e money to operate the car, and now with the beginning of the New Year this darkey finds him self without clotfhcs or anything else ?"us jes' rode." That's the trouble; with too many 'people nowadays?this expensive hab it of riding in a motor car. That dyrkey's case is by no means an iso lated one. On every side in town or country, you see white and colored folks who "jes* rode", and they are hard pressed and away behind in mak ing ends meet. If you ride you pay, and of course In a free country people can do as they please?that is, as long as they can secure a <a/ and supply it with gas and oil, Hut the man or woman who is forging ahead, unless the motor ear is h necessary fixture and.adjunct to business, doesn't be long to the "jes* rode" class.
