after the first race, you viii realize
the value of the money YOU have put
into the race Auto racing takes with
the public of the United States The
results VIII be telegraphed to all parts
Paso-PhoeniN race viii appear In looU
newspapers besides the stories from
the checking towns. After one run OF
this race and you see the advertising
value of it, you could not be pried
loose from It with a hydraulic jack
There would be more advertising N
a road race than there would be If the
president of the United States should
visit El PasO. Ny idea is that the race
should be run under the same rules
as the Los Angeles to Phoenix and
san Diego TO Phoenix race.
IF YOU viii take hold, il viii be the
biggest race in the United States Road
races are the greatest races They
are greater than the Indianapolis
speedway or the Vanderbilt cup race
A Real Auto Race.
There is not any advertising Tor the
dealer or manufacture to enter races
to over 500 miles over a prepared
course The man who buys a car does
not buy Il TO go around a speed track,
but to cross the country A race across
country shows the endurance Of
car A car that finishes in such G
race can be depended on to go any
where an auto has TO 60 From the
dealers standpoint this will be the
greatest race in the United states.
Tt viii also develop good roads and
civic pride. j want TO see FL FasO
stretch out a hand TO Phoenix, who is
willing to seretch out her hand to you
