FIGURES OH 1935
ARE MADE PUBLIC
WASHINGTON, D. O.. Sept. 30.
An all-time outpouring of 37,000,000
people vacationing a-wheel and a
record breaking expenditure of $4,
000,000,000 was the picture of the na
tional travel and vacatolnlng scene
for 1035, advanced In a preliminary
aurvey made public by the American
Automobile Association today.
"Back of these gigantic figures was
an unprecedented travel urge and an
expansion of travel horizons both at
home and abroad," the A. A. A. de
clared. The national motoring body's
itatemcnt follows:
"From every section of the country
and from every enterprise catering to
the tourist trade have come reports
od Increased volume and larger per
capita expenditures.
"All preliminary estimates as to the
volume of truffle during the 1035
travel season have had to be revised
upward. There has been an Increase
of a proximately 15 per cent In the
number of highway vacation tours
over the large volume of last year.
Indicating that nenrly 11,000,000 cars
carrying Borne 37,000,000 persons will
have made extended .trips when the
record of this year's travel season Is
finally compiled.
"Affiliated motor clubs throughout
the country unanimously report ex
pansion in the number of requests
for routing and touring Information,
the rates of gain ranging all the way
from D to 75 per cent with the aver
age uicreaso being about 15 or 10 per
cent. Over 3,000,000 people visited
the national parks, an Increase of 15
per cent over 1034; white preliminary
estimates Indicate a gain of between
16 and 30 per cent in the number
of visitors to the national forests.
"Further evidence of greater use of
the automobile Is conttned In gasoline
consumption figures, the trnde fore
casters placing the total year's de
mand nt the highest level on record.
"Much of the vacation botind travel
moved In a northerly direction during
the summer months. New England
reported a 30 per cent Increase In
tourist business while the Parlflo
northwest with a newly completed
system of excellent highways and
with an extensive cnmpalgn to at
tract tourists enjoyed unprecedented
natronuge. The vacation areas nar-
tieulnrly the mountain sections of
New York, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia nnd the lake regions of
Michigan, Minnesota and Wlneonsln
received their full share of the In
creased tourist business.
"Travel over the Canadian border
also was unusually heavy with a large
number of cars being routed to Mon
treal and Quebec while a great many
chose the maritime provinces and the
Jntfrostlng and scenic Gsspe penin
sula as their objective. Motor vaca
tioning abroad reached almost phe
nomenal proportions, being, more
than half again as largo as last year
and moro and more Americans took
advantage of the newly reduced ocean
rates on cor transportation and of
the freedom with which motorists
may drive across International bcnin
dnrles. "The mammoth public works nro-
Jocs dotting the country were a new

wnne mountain, lake and seashore re.
sorts experienced one of the best
tourist years In history. The San
Diego fair In California also has been
an outstanding tourist maenet. and
there was a noticeable gain in trans
continental touring. lbor day this

"Although the Pan-American high
way into Mexico city was officially
opened Isst spring, roart cnodltlons
hsvs not permitted extensive use; but
the last bad stretch Is scheduled for 1
completion early In October, and a
large amount of winter travel U an- I
tlclpated for this International route. I
"It can readily be seen, therefore, l
that practically every section of the
country benefited from motor tour
ing and from tourist expenditures.
That motor vacationing Is assuming
an Increasingly Important position In
the nation's economic life la Imme- i
dlately apparent when It is realized
that expenditures oy motor tourists
this yesr were only slightly below the
federal government's works relief ap
propriation. These expenditures ca
not fall to have a definitely stimulat
ing effect on the business of the
country from now on until Christmas.
"No other type of expenditure flows
more quickly through the channels
of oommerce and trade than does the
tourist dollar. Of the total spent this
year, at least $800,000,000 went to
ward transportation costs, such as
gasoline, garaging, repairs and so on.
Apprlxlmately the same amount was
spent for hotel accommodations;
about 1,000,000,000 went to retail
stores for Incidental purchases: C830,
000,000 was spent for food; $335,000,
000 for theaters and other forms of
amusement and $345,000,000 at con
fectioneries and refreshment stands.
"Since more and more communi
ties have come to realize the value of
the tourist dollar, there has been a
great Increase in the competition for
motorists' patronage. In general, mo
tor travel this year followed the usual
trend; that Is, toward those areas
that have favorable conditions such
as climate, scenic and historic at
tractions, opportunities for recreation,
good roads, good accommodations, ser
vice facilities; but those communities
that make a special bulsness of sell
ing themselves have the bulge on
their competitors. A notable Instance
Is the Increasing patronage of the
various provinces of Canada."

Fayette dealer.
"Reports from our own distribut

business Is better this year than It
has been in the last five yeays." said
Mr. Bliss. "In the agricultural sec

Mr. Bliss pointed out that In the
