FOUR BUFFALO MEN TO

that is the trip which -four men In
Buffalo. n. Y. are planning to make.
They are planning to start westward

civilization to Oriental culture, visit
Japan and China, and then embark for
Australia. Returning to Asia. they
will cross India. Southwestern Asia.
and war-ridden Europe. with side trips
into Northern Africa and South Africa
before they return.
So thoroughly are the young men
planning that they are marking out
every step OF their way before they
start. and they have asked the Ma

which is rendered without obligation
or expense, whatever the motorists
make of car or tires. The Goodrich
Bureau offers. almost without excep-
ton, to furnish route maps and road
logs for trips throughout any part of
the United States. whether transcon-
tinental tours or merely week end
trips.
AS a supplement to the road maps
and logs the Goodrich National Touring
Bureau has erected more than $4,000
blut and white enamel guide posts
throughout the country, covering more
than 10000 miles of the most Travelled
roads. These posts point the way at
crossings and forks and warn of sharp
turns and railroads. In fact, the Good
rich National Touring Bureau has made
II perfectly easy for even inexperienced
motorists to find their way In any part
of the United States.
And the good work is still going
on. The B. F. Goodrich Company right
now have three trained track crews
guild posting In different sections, and
by the end Of the 1915 touring season
will have placed permanent and in
telligtble directions along highways
over which to date a motorist has had
to ask his way.

of the fact that during the spring
months the company found an active
market for their big Model %. There

marily to satisfy the market hitherto
supplied by the big Odds and also with
view of creating a new market for
