I
advice to the counties concerned is lol
get in and improve this route a» soon a’
possible, for as but
few tourists
and pleasure seekers visited these conn ties
this year, thousands would do s«» when
ever thia route is made fit for travel
From an advertising and commercial
standpoint it would be a splendi«! thing
for all the counties, bringing into then»
the wealthy class, who leave lar^e sums
■of money w beret er they go, and those
who are looking for industrial openings
Here is an opportunity to do something.
Will the county courts co operate with
the Automobile Club, which is willing to
assist financially ?
