Glidden Predicts Great Highway Across the
Continent in Near Future

Charles J. G1idden, donor of the Gid
den tour trophy and one Of the most
travelled motorists in the world, has
given expression to the opinion that in
the course Of a few years the United
States will have the finest motor high
way on earth, extending from the At
lantic to the Pacific. He argues that 1t
is bound to come.
when my dream is reality you
will find our rich men who are now
going abroad will view the beauties
of their home country first" said Gid
den. What an ideal tour it would be
to leave New York and pass over the
historic roads of New Jersey, then
through Pennsylvania, with its oil
fields and coal mines for exploration;
then on through the middle west, over
the plains to finally pierce the Rockies,
to the golden west With good high
way, what tour this would be. I
tell you, there is nothing in any coun
try that can equal 1T. But the trouble
is, our American motorists do not seem
to take the time to look at the in
teresting places of their home country,
at some sight abroad that is not nearly
SO picturesque as those at home
