That big Dixie Highway bunch
which left Chicago in a long pro-
cesslon of automobiles a few DAYS
ago to go over the route between
that city and Miami, is near the
Florida line. While we may not ex-
pect them in Lakeland, their pres
ence in the State will add to the pre-
vailing enthusiasm for good roads
and be OF strong moral value to the
great cause here as well DIS on the
East Coast. Carl G.. Fisher. the
orlainator of the Dixie Highway
idea. and who is with the tourists
on their way to Florida, in replying
to an invitation from Secretary
Mears of the Barlow Board of Trade
had this to say. among other things.
which is mighty interesting reading.
with some very pregnant and sugees-
tive facts in it:
III Florida had good system of
roads for this winter, am satisfied
That the receipts from the Northern
tourists in the fall would be enor-
nous and beyond all ordinary COM
prehension. We have within 300
miles of indianapolis over 100000
automobile owners, and a very large
percentage of these want some place
to 60 in the fall and winter months
put we are effectively locked out of
the Southern States A proper COM
pletion of the Dixie Highway
through to Florida will mean more
TO the South than the entire cotton
crop has. If the many selfish inter
ests can be for a short time gotten
together to complete one through
road, and then let the various ,
branches go in every direction. il
