“But we didn’t,” he said.
“Yes; but if we had?”
“Well, some of us would have taken a little journey, to the nearest available supply, and brought some back with us—that’s all. Fortunately, in these days of the automobile, an ample supply of gasoline may be found at any country store. There was a time when it was as hard as the mischief to get it.”
“How far can you run with one supply?”
“Seventy-five miles, without the reserve, which is good for another forty.”
“This machine seems complete in every particular, with its reserve tank, and store box behind.”
“Surely. While called a touring car, it has many of the features of a roadster.”
“A roadster?”
“Yes; a car built for traveling across country—one you can take long trips in—a car built to stand no end of wear and tear.”
