Noiseless and odorless, safe and reliable,
Gentle and tractable, docile and pliable,
Perfectly fearless and free from duplicity,
Easily managed, run by “ ‘lectricity”,
Gliding along through the country’s cool byways,
Traversing safely the city’s broad highways,
Ready and willing, stylish and beautiful,
Always responding, faithful and dutiful,
Simple of parts, so a child can manipulate,
No special requirements that one needs to stipulate,
Meeting the wants of a restless humanity,
The very perfection of reason and sanity,
Adapted to pleasure as well as utility,
No restrictions to limit its great versatility,
The perfection and type of a modern miracle,
There is none can surpass the Electric Vehicle.(L. R. Vredenburg)
