There is more automobile ira ffic
through this locality than ever before,
but for which we can take to our
selves no credit. There are at least
two reasons. First there are more
automobiles. Second we are on the
thoroughfare between the Provinces
and the West on the one hand and the
White Mountains and cities of New
England on the other and have a
custom house at which nearly all
machines have to report for clearance
or bonding they hump them
selves for Bretten Woods or some
other place that offers inducements
for stop. We've got the lake and
other natural resources to induce these
people to stop here a week or two and
give them their moneys worth if we
add the other necessaries. Why not
do it?
