an entry list to date of twenty-five cars,

the Indiana Automobile Manufacturers
Association to the Pacific coast has taken
on an air of tinality which will sweep
everything before it from Indianapolis to
San Francisco and then to Los Angeles
The tour plans have been completed and
everything is in readiness for the start

AT least thirty cars will make the trip,
and they will spread the name and fame
of Indiana throughout the west Through
the efforts of the officers of the associa-
ton everything has been done which will
add to the comfort and convenience of
those making the trip and the tour will
be carried out along the lines laid down
by other tours OF the association which

feel proud of its undertaking than that
entered into by the Indiana manufac
turers.
