tirely upon the volume Of business done
by the companies affiliated with the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. This organization includes all

RICHMOND LOSES
BYPOOR ROADS
Highways Suffer Light Traffic
Because They're Not Pre-
pared, Says A. A. A.
CAPITAL LIKEWISE LOSER
Director Ferguson Says Many Tourists
Repeat Warnings Against Prince
William County Roads.
CAPITAL LIKEWISE LOSER

The heavy tourist and commercial loss
that Richmond and the country south
of the Virginia capital is obliged to sus-
tain because of the deplorable condition
of the road through Prince William
County. is constantly before the touring
department of the District Auto Club
according to officials
During the past week the following
tourists from the Northwest Florida
bound, called at club headquarters: A.
J. Diamond and family, of st. Paul; ].
S. Gay and party Edward Francis and
party, and Leonard Sanfold and party,
all of Detroit In each instance, these
tourists reported TO Director Ferguson
that, en- route to Washington, they had
been advised to avoid the direct road via
Richmond and to take the Shenandoah
Valley route instead.
Capital Also Suffers.
Thus it will be seen that Washington,
too. will suffer from these conditions
when motor tourists report back to
friends headed South that they can
avoid considerable mileage by not COM
ing to Washington, and also telling
them that if they do visit the National
Capital they must double back to Fred
erick or Hagerstown to get on the VAL
ley pike.
Another constant loser of automobile
tourists trade is the Old Point Comfort
section of Virginia. DR.. F. F. Seabrook
and party and Mrs Webster and party.
from Auburn, n. Y, were also club Wis
itors last week. Each of these parties
abandoned the idea in mind of a trip
from Washington to Richmond and down
the James River Peninsula, because Of
that same Prince William road condition
And as Richmond and the other prin-
cipal points south of Washington lose
in patronage by the refusal of tourists
to wreck their machines endeavoring to
negotiate the Prince william road, SO,
too. does the National Capital lose be-
cause of a similar view taken by South

FORD ENTERS MAIL SERVICE.
San Antonio Postmaster Writes
ABout Its Excellence,

Fifty thousand additional postofficc

In a personal letter TO Henry Ford.
Postmaster George ID. Armistead, of
San Antonio. refers to that unbeatable
combination"-the United States Post
Office Department and the Ford car. He
says:
Without the Ford this service would
be physical impossibility. In the opin-

detracting from the graceful lines as is
the case with many of the coupe de-
