 By time the Morning Republican flutters into the front wards of Phoenix the pacemaker of the ..Stude- baker Sociability Tour" will be swallowing a mile of the Path to Prescott every two minutes and when the contented possessors of Phoenix homes and those same copies of the Republican sit down to break fast the driver of the last Stude- baker car will already have put some thirty miles of farm and desert be- tween himself and Phoenix.
