. 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. Span
