The Lincoln Highway Association
is issuing from it's national head

which would be very valuable indeed
to the tourist who is planning trans
continental trip This year, or in 1915
to the Exposition. In line with the
policy Of the Association which is to
give the automobiles every aid pos
sible toward the making of such
lengthy tour pleasureable and agree
able trip, this book points out great
many facts which the average motor
list might not know, but which will
be necessary should the transconti-
mental trip be undertaken.
The booklet was written by F. H.
Trego. the Associations chief en-
gineer and is a result of many years
of practical experience on his part.
Mr.. Trego has crossed the continent
a great many times and has encounA
tered every kind of road condition in
the country. His remarks con-
densed in this practical shape will be
appreciated by thousands of tourists.
Mr.. Trego gives the estimated cost
of a journey from New York to San
Francisco via the Lincoln highway,
and also list OF the necessary equip
ment which should be carried, as well
as the no less important information
as to what not to carry. His camp
ing Instructions for the tourist west
of Omaha are short and concise and
of inestimable value to the man or
woman who has never attempted
trip through parts of the country
where hotels are not available every
night
This little booklet was printed by
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, of Akron, Ohio, one of the large
manufacturing companies, which have
given the Lincoln Highway Associa-
ton much aid in the past Every
automibilist should have one OF these
extremely interesting as well as prac-
teal guides. and the Lincoln Highway
association states that they will be
glad to send one to anyone writing
and sending sc postage for copy.
