AUTOMOBILE LINE
IS NOW A SURE
SUCCESS
COMMITTEE GETS $1,000
IN HALF A DAYS WORK
Every Business Man Approach
ed Willingly Buys Tickets
Headquarters of the Line to
be Established in This City.

When a good thing comes along and
Albuquerque sees it, Albuquerque us
ually grabs it on the spot.
The new automobile line from Al
buquerque to Estancia and Willard is
a good thing. Every business man in
Albuquerque recognized it as a good
thing. Every business man I'm Albu-
oueraue recognized it as a good thing
and when the proposition took def
mite form, the business men and ev-
eryone else approached, came to the
mark i'm the good old Albuquerque
way. and bought tickets until in less
than half a day the committee OF the
Boosters club had not only sold the
necessary number of tickets to meet
the contract Offered by the promoters
of the line, but had far over-subscrib-
ed the list.
Just exactly $3.50 worth of tickets
at SO a ticket. each ticket good for a
round trip ride to Estancia, had been
sold when the committee stopped its
work last night. The COMMITTEES
could not find time to see many OF the
business men who are known to be in
hearty accord with the project and for
the benefit of these gentlemen the
committee announces that the sub
scription list is still wide open and al
who care to subscribe for tickets MAY
do so by calling on the chairman OF
AIM member Ol lflt tOfiliiiilltts
n. McClosky and A. n. Garrett, oil
Estancia, two of the promoters of the
line, left yesterday afternoon for the
drive to Estancia. with smiles all
across their faces, and bursting with
the good news they are taking homo
to The Estancia and Willard people
and to the men behind the company.
Yesterday morning h Boosters
committee started on its round with
the following members:
ID. A. Macpherson, Roy Stamm,- ID
X. b. Sellers, G. O. Cushman. Frank
Wilson, J. A. Hubbs.
Every man approached subscribed
for at least one ticket and many lots
of two. five and ten were taken.
At half past 5 o'clock yesterday at
ternoon when the committee had to
give 1t up, S2,920 had been subscribed
or some $500 more than was required
under the proposition submitted by
the auto line promoters.
Means Big BOOST for albuquerque.
In the past the majority of the re-
tail trade and much of the wholesala
trade of the Estancia valley has gone
10 Santa Fe, owing to the difficulty OF
buyers In reaching Albuquerque. Thie
automobile line. which will have three
fast cars of latest pattern, will bring
the valley towns i'm close touch with
Albuquerque. and will bring "A very
large amount Of trade directly here
which has been going elsewhere. This
is the kind of boosting that counts and
the results Of the new line will soon
be apparent.
Headquarters to BE Here.
For convenience OF operation and
many other reasons easy to under
stand. the automobile line will estab-
lish it's headquarters in his city. The
three big sixty-horse " cars will
