A Solution of the Luggage Problem

Whenever more than two people want to undertake a tour of more than two or three day's duration in a motor car, the luggage problem becomes serious. There may be a luggage grid, which will seldom break and anyone working with quite modest intelligence may fix on them suit cases with rope or straps so that even on a long run over bad roads there is no perceptible shifting. And yet the luggage grid is not entirely satisfactory. The suit cases fixed on it soon become unfit for any other use and if they be of the special type made for luggage grids they are expensive, in view of the fact that they are hardly suitable for other and general uses. Suit cases on a luggage grid may be beautifully made and mcst elaborately wrapped in a covering of canvas, but are they ever dust-proof? Perhaps a two-days' run along main roads may not bring much dust inside the cases, but a hot summer's day over dusty roads will ruin any delicate clothing.
