A motor trip to Florida or to
any point kin the Southland is no
longer a hazardous adventure or
task to be accomplished at the ex
pense of great inconveniences or
unusual repair hills to the motorist."-
This conclusion was Hacked
by the Touring and Transportation
Bureau of the American Automo
bile Association following the
completion of an inspection of the
most ; feasible routes between
Washington and , Florida points by
the official mapping car io. 3 in
charge of A. O. Seller,: manager of
the Touring Bureau at -National
headquarters, accompanied by R.
W. Cullen, chief cartographer of
the Washington map division. The
Inspection trip of the routes to
Florida which is . the second ' on?
made by official cars of the A. A.
A., this season, ' was completed
Nov. 17.
A dozen combinations of route?
leading from the northeastern sec-
tion of the tfnited States, to Flor
ida were uncovered by the A. A, A,'
scouts. ' There are detours on alt
routes, .the majority of which,
however, are kept in good condi
tion. The minimum on any one
combination is seven. To the mo
torist who wantsr"the maximum
mileage of good road, regardless
of the distance, traveled in reach
ing Florida routeB can be offered;
him which wilj J Insure a fairly
comfortable journey. To the mo
torist who Is in a hurry ; shorter
routings hetween high points
which are generally. travelable are
offered."
Several combinations of the
longer ; and ' better " routings' r ara
given. I From Washington to Pet
ersburg, Va.,. via Richmond there
is no contest. ;"""; ' ;
The longest route to Jackson
ville and one which gives a connec
tion " to central ' Florida and vest
points from Petersburg, Va.. is
via Clarksville, Va. Oxford, Dur
ham, Greensboro, Charlotte, N. C,
Camden, Columbia 8. C; Augusta!
Macon, Tifton and Valdosta, Ga.,
to Lake City Florida.
4 Motorists' using this route arc
advised to go from Charlotte .to

continuing along the main high
way . through Spartanburg, and

struction south of , Hartwejl, Ga.,

Only the prices have been reduced... The quality remains the same. It is a
Studebaker policy to share manufacturing savings with its customers. With the
addition of another enormous unit to its $8,000,000 Closed Car plants at South
Bend, Studebaker costs are reduced and the purchaser benefits accordingly. .
In justice to yourself, you should come in and see what Studebaker has to
