Breaks Speed Record
Richfield-powered motor car was
one which, considered the driver,
the car, and general conditions
of routing, was not at all reck
less. We believe that such speed,
with safety, may well be con
sidered an average which will
be more or less usual on the
right highways within five years.
“We believe, too, that when
proper routings come and pres
ent highway plans are consum
mated, we shall see higher legal
speeds with a much lowered
ratio of wrecks or fatalities.
Thus both time and life—ion-
sidered our most precious pos
sessions—will be saved.”
