Round trips of the United States
are sufficiently rare to make this
one unique in its way. The late
Percy Megargel undertook the first
one in 1905, but the car was shipped
from Portland, Ore, to San Francis

Then Mr.. and Mrs. Morse, of Lowell,
Mass, made leisGrely pleasure cir

The Pacific Slope route which is
now to be logged win follow the his
