stores find. that by delivering goods by
auto they can cover about four times the

The tremendous increase in automobile
touring during the past few years has
developed an entirely new profession
that OF route finding. Seven years ago,
when the Official Automobile Blue Book
was established. all the information on
routes obtainable was contained In one
hundred miles around New York and
Boston. This publication has developed
gear by year, until recently, when the
1910 edition was published. Il appeared
in four leather-bound volumes OF more
than 500 pages each, describing approx
mately $4,000 miles OF routes. from the
Maine coast TO Nebraska. taking In prac-
tieally every part OF the country which
an automobile can travel.
The material contained IN these books
was obtained by men who have been
trained in the work Of route description.
Four high-powered cars were used. each
manned with two route DISORDERS, who.
owing TO their experience. have developed
wonderful capacity for rapidly reporting
local conditions as they pass over the
country roads.
The new books have been entirely re-
printed. and IN addition 10 several new
routes they give this year road condi-
lions and local points OF interest, such
as historical spots. public buildings. and
other facts which would interest the
tourist who is out for pleasure rather
than speed.
