ROAD MAP AND
TOUR GUIDE
OFF PRESS
Beautiful Book Issued
By the Arizona
Association
Tfom Fridays Daily.)

The Arizona Good Roads Associa-
ton illustrated Road Maps and Tour
Guide, the first official collection Of
logs of all roads in the Baby State,
will be off the press and ready, for
distribution April 5th.
Arizona does things we'll and this
beautiful specimen of the printers
art is not only project as to draught-
manship, illustration and topography,
but it is also an exhaustive Baedeker
for the traveller; for it gives every
bit of information the autoist and
camper can possibly want
Harry Locke, of Bisbee, is the Of
fetal compiler and he has put in
eighteen hours a day, for the past
year in the work now completed.
In the logging of over 200 maps con-
tanned in the Guide, over 10000 miles
were travelled by auto. The Arizona
Good Roads Association car was the
first ever at the bottom of the Grand
Canyon, via the Peach Springs Route
and the book includes a log of this
road.
There are many unique and ex-
tremely useful features about this
Guide. Besides being plainly mark
ed as to forks, turns, oil and water
stations and grades, each map shows
perfectly the contour of the country
traversed. Each fork or important
branch is designated not only as to
position, but with very clear photo
graphs of the landmarks 1t is i'm
possible for the tourist, armed with
copy of this Guide, to go wrong
on any road in Arizona.
The binding Of the book, which is
of convenient pocket size, is in dur
able cloth of a pretty gray and in
the center of the cover is beau
tifully executed four-colored repro
duction of the Grand Canyon Of Arr
IONA, the greatest natural wonder on
this continent. The engravings, on a
splendid mineral paper, are remark
ably clear and attractive. No ex-
pense, apparently, has been spared
to make this work durable for the
rough use to which it must be sub
jected and dainty as a souvenir of
Arizona's Wonderland.
Ma1e - IL
of the state enhance the value of
the Associations guide. These were
included by Mr.. Locke to overcome
the almost universal complaint of
the traveller everywhere that it is
easy enough to get into a town, but
mighty hard to get out on the right
road All such aids have been add
ed to procure for the traveller the
maximum of pleasure at the mini
mum of bother
Thousands of the edition just off
press are to be forwarded to the
Eastern and European metropoli this
week and by this means, a just pro-
portion of the immense Westbound
traffic in 1915 will be secured for
Arizona. Large advance orders in
dictate that there will be a very
heavy demand and local lovers of
Nature and good roads will do the
best days work of the year if they
will send a copy of the Guide to
friends in the East who are yet I'M
acquainted with the fact that Rat
tiers, ella Monsters and Scorpions
are far less in number than the
miles of good roads afforded in Ari-
IONA.
The Association and its represen-
tative, Mr.. Harry Locke, are to be
congratulated on this authentic and
exhaustive work, which is to be had
at hotels, garages. news stands and
bookstores and on the trains gener-
ally throughout the Southwest. 1t
will be found that it is worth several
times the price asked by the Associ-
alton, 81. This price is guaranteed
to the publisher and no less can be
accepted at retail
