AUTOMOBILES NOT POPULAR IN HOLLAND (Nov, 1928)
AUTOMOBILES NOT POPULAR IN HOLLAND
There is a bicycle to every 2-1/2 inhabitants in Holland, but automobiles have failed to win great popularity in the low country. Holland is a country without hills, and the popularity of the bicycle is attributed to this fact. Separate bicycle roads running parallel to the regular highways are provided by the authorities.
they should see amsterdam 80 years later…

Now, the text would read something like: “There’s 2 1/2 automobiles to every inhabitant in Holland, …” :-S

Not to mention that 80 years later, many Americans are realizing that it would have been nice if America had developed in that way too.
