BOROERLAND ROUTE ASSURED
Has 9een Officially Adopted by
Transcontinental Touring
Club

Recognizing the touring ad-
vantages of the Borderland
Automobile Route" extending
from Dodge CITY Kansas, 70
Phoenix, Arizona, and the force
ful enthusiasm and activities of
people along the hne Of the
highway, the Transcontinental
Touring Club Of America has
officially adopted this road as a
branch of its organization.
Route books showing all running
details will be issued at once.
and it is the assertion of H. c.
Drum, Club Chairman of Tours,
that this highway will become
one of the most travelled roads
in the United States by Trans
continental Tourists.
The benefits TO citizens and
territory traversed are incalcul-
able; already a large number
Of motorists have made the
trip over the newly routed road
way, and there is little doubt by
that when the Club route books
are issued thousands of cross
country travellers will tour the
country, leaving behind them
millions of dollars, possibly large
investments, a branch factory or
great industry, or, purchase,
they may come back themselves
to settle in the country that
has attracted them. The logic
of such an assertion may be
readily reached in view of the
statistics showing that $3.50, 900, =
900 was spent by American
tourists in foreign countries last
year.
The Transcontinental Touring
Club of America will start &C.
tivities at once tending to turn
tourists over the "Borderland
Route, in consequence of which,
assisted by the most active and
enthusiastic road workers in
each community, they will wage
a campaign for memberships
along this route to adequately
and intelligently care for this

travel and the up-keep Of the
road and the organization
throughout.
This organization looks for
ward to a large membership
along the route, so that it may
be sure that activities will be
fully COPIED with at all times,
all unfavorable conditions over
came, and a working unit
presented in each district which
will not only provide local mem
bership workers who are con-
stantly active in their own
territory, but will also give
touring members a feeling of
security and assurance that they
are among fellow clubmen and
friends who will at all times ex-
tend to them those courtesies
which make automobile touring
pleasure. and allow them TO
see the country TO its best adj
vantage.
These memberships, whether
he be an automobilist or not
mean much to every individual
citizen, inasmuch as it means
advancement to the community
in which he lives and in which
his interests are, and for the
good which he brings to HIM
self, and his country, and which
he gives to others.
Last year 5000 automobile
parties were attracted to Colo
rado. bringing into the State
80, 600 wealthy investors. pos
sibly settlers, financiers and ad-
vertisers, who circulated among
probably a million Fasteners on
their return. The value Of such
a movement TO the individual
community can hardly be est
mated. while if that many tour
lists were brought into your
own home CITY during the year
they would leave there, in that
time, something like $500. 600 in
actual cash expended among your
citizens.
Transcontinental tourists should
be routed over the "Borderland
Route, " and these benefits
reaped by the cities and conf
munities along this new high
way. il the right action is
taken, and SUCH movement
would surely be worth thousands
of dollars more than any public
advancement for which you
have ever striyen. for which
the authorities have properly
expended large sums of money
and for which private citizens
have no doubt contributed large
amounts to secure.
The Board of Directors are
pleased with the enthusiastic
way in which certain towns have
taken to improving roads. and
are endeavoring to make this
