The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-05-06

We wish we had the time and space
to give every man and every car a
personal mention. they all deserve all
the good things that could possibly be
said of them
John Greenwalt. Publicity Manager
OF the Mt. States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. who was official spea-
ker for the trip was like his company,
on the job night and day. Sam Dutton
of the Albany hotel and his father a
gentleman 79 years of age were like
their hotel. ever ready to extend cour
tesies to all of the kind you only see
by few people. c. l.. Newcomb. Jr., the
President who handles pumps had pun
ped more enthusiasm into Denver for
this trip than any other man was ever
capable of and as a consequence Den
yer Is now enthusiastic over the -6ossi-
bilities of Northeastern Colorado as a
Feeder for Denver than ever before.
J. F. McCrery Of Greeley never lost
an opportunity to brag of Weld coun-
ty roads and we'll he may for as one
gentleman OF the party remarked If VIC
had Weld County roads from Julesburg
to Denver. Colorado would soon have
its population doubled. AS to the cars
and their drivers, the most of them
were dealers and II ever cars were
tested the cars in this trip surely were,
and II we were to buy anything but a
Ford We would not be able to decide
between Packard, Overland, Briscoe,
Haynes, Pierce Arrow, Buick, Oldsmo-
bile, White, Cadillac, Peerless, Hudson,
Paige. and Studebsker. for the record
these cars made ON the entire trip is
sOmething reuaarksbie.
Mr.. Hendy, Manager. of the Ford fac.
tory in Denver arranged with his var
ious agents enroute and through their
courtesy the pleasures of the trip was
greatly enhanced. The Fort Morgan
agent came to Denver and piloted the
run to his town, the Sterling agent met
us in Brush and took us to Sterling,
while b. d Parker, Jr., met us at
Crook and extended the courtesies of
Julesburg.
What does the trip mean? To Jules
burg, that she has had more and bet
ter advertising than ever before To
Northeastern Colorado that Denver is
at last awake to the needs of lending
her support to this part of the State.
To the towns on the Highway that it
| will pay anyone of them to work for
, the tourists. On this trip from $500 to
$100 was spent in every town we stop
ped at Hundreds of such tours will be
made this summer Some parties have
as high as go cars in the party.
Our party spent over 500 in Jules
burg and this was all new money not
our old overworked coin and this is ex-
actly what every town. in Colorado
wants and needs
The writer on the trip was referred
to as an optomist and no knocker but
we feel We have knock coming. One
member of the State Highway Com
mission, Senator Erhart, came with
the party as far as Fort Morgan and
stopped If any man in Colorado ought
to be Interested in the conditions and
needs Of the roads in Colorado he is
the man but instead Of availing him
self of the opportunity of seeing for
himself, as soon as the roads commenc
ed to get bad he returns to Denver and
then attempts to direct the road funds
of Colorado from a <carpeted Office in
the State Capitol. If we must have a
State Highway Commission let us have
men who can get to every corner of
the State and know Just what his work
demands
"Its long ways from Denver to
Julesburg,
It's long ways to go, & etc"
but the trip has been made under most
adverse conditions and plans are al
ready being made to repeat the trip
little later in the season.
