In 1917, the Goodrich Company es-

LUXURY OF motor

MARK next SUMNER

Touring in automobiles is destined
to be developed this summer on
scale Of luxury never before known in
this country. The smart thing to do
is now to spend a large portion Of the
warm weather months covering the
country in a motor car
The Pierce-Arrow Company is in
an excellent position to sound out the
plans Of the discriminating motorist
In this connection. 1t reports a rec

Discussing the tendency. William b.
Newlin, sales manager for passenger
cars. says:
Our big business for the current
year has embraced every type Of car
we produce. but we have especially
been impressed with the demand for
touring cars. Customers have in many
cases told us Of long tours planned.
Several main factors explain the
motor touring plans. The war in
Europe is going to keep at home many
persons OF wealth who formerly car
ried their money to the other side
during the summer months Last year
the discovery was made in the course
of long trans-continental tours that
roads have much improved II is now
possible TO go long distances without
the discomforts of other days. Inter
est in the Lincoln Highway has caused
many to want to traverse It,
II think an aroused Americanism
has also had an effect The sentiment
for preparedness has stirred a new
patriotism throughout the country,
and many thinking men now want to
see, and want their families to see,
more Of the country.
Cars have steadily been improved
so that today distance touring has
been emancipated from the conditions
that formerly operated to mar It's
complete enjoyment.
Apparently men Of means who take
their vacations en- tour with their au-
tomobiles want the best, and are will
ing to pay for it The health-gfving
delights Of motoring and its educa-
tional advantages in teaching
knowledge OF the country are going
