Much interest has been aroused by
the two Haynes cars which made the
arduous trip across the continent with
the Indiana to Pacific tourists and
which are now making a journey
through those regions in California
which were not visited by the Indian
ans Since the departure of the cars
from Los Angeles last Wednesday
morning, after brief rest In that city
from the pilgrimage over eight states,
the cars have added several hundred
miles to their credit
Despite the fact that both machines
are approaching the 5000 mile mark at
a rapid clip. neither car is said to be
showing any signs of wear. In fact,
according to the passengers of the two
machines, they are running more
smoothly every hundred miles, and two
of the tires, one on each car, still have
Kokomo air in them.
