"Many persons shake their heads
with! doubt when enthusiastic 192.'
exposition boosters state with em
phasi? that the coming world's fair
will attract) a million or more tour
ing automobiles lo the state," said
Strandborg. 'Some members of the
campaign committee "have even placed
their figures at nearer twe million
as a tair estimate ot tne numDer oi
automobiles that will come this way
during 1925.
It is entirely reasonable to expect
at least one minion automobiles as a
substantial part of the great west
ward movement of tourists by the
time the exposition is held Last sum
).ier. while I was in the east, I had
occasion to have frequent conferences
with prominent officials and direc
tors of national automobile organiza
tions. They keep a very close touch
on the. movement of tourist traffic
and it is a part of their business co
enoourajge every movement of this
kind wherever directed, both large
and small in volume.
A. A. A. Is Enthusiastic
"The officials of the American Au
tomobile association were very en
thusiastic over the prospects of a
great world's fair being held in Ore
gon in 1925, on :5he ground that it
would afford them a magnificent out
let for a great volume of tourist
travel. This association, which con
sists of some 800 individual clubs
throughout, the country, hafe a mem
bership which is rapidly aproaching
500,000 individual automobile owners,
and theyv are constantly being beset
with inquiries about routes and tours
where the pleasure-seeking automo
bilist and his family may enjoy new
sights and experience new adven
tures. The following is a brief out
line of how the situation presents K
relf to the men who handle tein
of thousands of automobile trips
every season and to all parts of th-
country.
"There are, at the present time, be
tween four and five million pleasure
cars in the country which are devoted
to vacation and sightseeing trips of
anywhere from two weeks' duration
tc all summer long. Of this number
at least 25 per cent, or more than
1,000,000 automobiles, belong to per
rons who make it a yearly practice
of spending anywhere from six weeks
to three months on the road.
Therefore, are justified in say
ing that these 1,000,000 pleasure seek
ers will be very glad of the oppor-1
tumtiy of making a trip to the Pacilic
ccast, in the course of which they
will have the privilege of attending
the world's exposition at P6rtland,
making trips over the famous Colum
bia river highway and visiting other
attractive scenic sections of the groo-t
far west and particularly in view of
the fact tiiat at least three of the
great trap scon tinental highways will
be comploted and in perfect condi
tion for comfortable touring by thac
time.
One Million Cars Expected'
Assurance was given be by the of
ficial of the American Automobile as
sociation that they would lend all pos
sible support to us in securing the
maximum volume of tourist business
for our exposition and they freely pre
dicted that the estimate of 1,000,000
cars was not at all excessive but, on
the contrary was a most conservative
one, because it is based on the present
number of pleasure cars that can !e
devoted to transcontinental touring.
"Figures were also given to me
which are based on many thousand
lourist parties showing thatj the av
erage number of persons per car i3
3.8. On this basis 1,000,000 foreign
cars visiting Oregon in 1925 will mean
a total of upward 3,800,000 visitors
passing through the state, taking any.
where from one to two or three weeks'
time for the stay in Oregbn.
"If you include the cost of oil, gas
oline, repairs and living expenses it
is probably conservative to say tnat
each one of these 1,000,000 automo
biles will distribute $100 through the
trade channels in various sections of
the state, or an aggregate of fully
$100,000,000 will be poured into Ore
gon by automobile tourists alone.
