DEMONSTRATES EFFICIENCY
OF NUMEROUS AUTOMOBILES

Participants In the first annual east
Michigan pike tour held under the
auspices of the Good Roads Committee
of the Detroit Board OF Commerce
had an excellent although unexpected
demonstration of efficiency of Uany
makes of motor cars which have been
widely advertised.
The east pike tour was held in the
interests of good roads and every big
man in the Michigan good roads move-
ment was included in the list of tour
lists who made addresses en- route. Ma
turally many difficult roads were en-
countercd and the bad. sandy hills of
northern Michigan on the run from
Detroit to Mackinaw City were enough
to call for the best in a motor.
All cars which started on the run
finished the 400 mile trip on schedule
time, but several had difficulties when
the deap sand was encountered. Presi-
dent j. Walter Drake, of the Hupp.

member OF the Detroit good roads
committee, sent one of the seven-pas-
senger HupmobiIe touring cars for the

car was the surprise OF the trip as 1t
made the entire route on its own pow
err and there was no hill too steep or
sandy for the four-cylinder Hupmo-
bile
In fact. the tour was really tri-
umph for the four ylinder type motor
as all the so-calied multf-cylinder type
cars were pulled through the sand by
teams sometime en- route. On one
particularly bad hill which the Hup-
mobile made in easy fashion 1t was
necessary to pull four machines up by
team
These four included three skies and
a twelve-cylinder car. The next day
two eight-cylinder machines were pull
ed through a sandy spot by teams
and later one of the Fights was re-
scued from its sandy berth by life

The performance furnished much

bile for their trip. although invited
by others to make the trip in their
cars.
