VI the luCd.
Dealers Will Assist.
Every automobile dealer in the city of
Salt Lake is interested, and each one
gives the assurance they will do all
within their power to promote the
movement for the betterment Of road
conditions in Utah. 1t is the intention
of the dealers TO even sacrifice the pos
sibilities for the sale of cars during the
show when the opportunity to boost
for good roads presents itself.
Il will certainly do everything within
my power for the promotion of the
good roads idea" said Sam Sharman
of the Sharman Auto company. Just
show me the way that 1 can do some
good for the roads of Utah and Will
only be too glad to help out
1T is a fact that the roads of the
state and their condition is Of more
importance to the automobile owners
than any one thing else. Give us roads,
good ones, and I warrant no city in the
country will have more cars than Salt
Lake.
There will be plenty of opportunity
afforded dealers during the show to
boost the movement, and /, for one, VIII
be among the ones to help. The recent
people an idea of just what is needed.
The things necessary to be done can
be accomplished only by demand of
public sentiment. Every one can help,
and I hope to do my share. Talk will
accomplish a good many things in this,
even If it doesn't sell automobiles.
L. NJ. Raymond, president of the
Automobile Dealers association of Salt
Lake, said yesterday that he was
heartily in favor of the movement for
the betterment of the roads of the
state. The association has always IA
vored every movement in that direc-
ton, and will continue to do so, accord
ing to Mr.. Raymond.
There is nothing that would benefit
the automobile business in this city
more than the improvement of the
roads of the state" said Mr.. Raymond.
TT is certain that the number of ma
chimes sold in this city would be more
than doubled If the highways of the
state were in better condition than they
are at this time.
During the show l expect the deal
ers Will do much for the promotion of
the movement and after the exhibit Is
over there IS no doubt but that the
matter will be taken under considera-
ton by the association. We viii I'M
dOubtedly help out whenever the OcCa-
sion presents itself
A Benefit to State.
Personally, 1 intend to do all that
can for the movement, and will talk
myself blue in the face To the owners
of the machines represented by this
company to push the movement I be-
lieve that this is the attitude OF all Of
the dealers in the city. If the good
roads movement wants good friends
and hearty supporters, let il call upon
the members of the Automobile associ-
alton"
The future of the automobile in
Utah depends, to a great extent, upon
road conditions throughout the state"
said S. D. Reid Of the Studebaker Bros
company of Utah. There is no subject
more vitality interesting to the automo-
bile dealer than the question of good
roads.
The automobile owner is not salts
ned to travel over a limited space. As
soon as a man gets possession of a
first-claSs car he Immediately plans
long trips and outings. On these he
doesn't want TO go along the roads that
are fairly covered with automobiles,
and neither does he want to travel from
one big city to the other, where the best
of roads are usually found. On the con-
trary, he has desire to penetrate por-
lions of the state where there are not so
many people, some out of the way place
where there are new and interesting
sights to behold.
This state is full of such places.
There are great wonders of nature
studding all parts of the state. But
these sights are usually inaccessible to
the automobile because of the cOndi-
