The Lightning Conductor
The Strange Adventures of a Motor Car
By C. N. and A. M. WILLIAMSON
12mo. $1.50
The love story of a beautiful American and a gallant
Englishman, who stoops to conquer. Two almost human
automobiles, the one German, heavy and stubborn, and the
other French, light and easy-going, play prominent parts.
There is much humor. Picturesque scenes in Provence, Spain
and Italy pass before the reader's eyes in rapid succession.
Twenty printings of this novel have been called for.
Nation: "Such delightful people, and such delightful scenes. . . .
It should be a good, practical guide to those about to go over the same
course, while its charming descriptions of travel afford an ample new fund
of pleasure, tinged with envy here and there to the stay-at-homes."
N. Y. Sun: "A pleasant and felicitous romance."
Springfield Republican: "Wholly new and decidedly entertaining."
Chicago Post: "Sprightly humor . . . the story moves."
