SANTA FE-LAS VEGAS
SIGN POSTS HAND OUT
CAMOUFLACE DE LUX

A badly fused trancontinental
tourist arrived in Santa Fe yesterday
and had hardly run into a garage
before he began to register COM
plants about the sign boarding which
he encountered on his way into
town.
Coming in along the Ocean to
Ocean Highway from Las Vegas. he
noted on one of the official posts
of that association Santa Fe. y
miles" THAT looks good to me.
he said to himself. and turned around
to announce to two passengers in the
back seat that there was just II miles
more to go.
Just then another signboard. this
time bearing the ad of local garage,
came into view. Santa Fe. Is miles,
it averred. A little argument be-
tween the driver and his companions
as to which way they were going and
then another signboard. put up by
another garage came to light. Santa
Fe. 1917 miles," it insisted.
Must have turned off the main
road at that IL mile post" said the
driver who executed a turn and drove
back, this time in the general direc-
ton of Las Vegas. The "12 mile
post" was scarcely a hundred yards
away. instead of a mile and a half
as he had expected. and as there was
no branch road in sight. he conclud-
ed at last that something was the
matter with the sign boards.
At II miles out the signboards be-
gan to agree and for while he---,e
really what you might cali amiable
with each other, but at the mile
point, one garage sign was still hold
ing out for seven. but by this time
the tourist just gritted his teeth and
murmered ~durn ye, I don't believe
word you say"
Once arrived in Santa Fe, the
party were amply repaid by the
pleasure of their visit for any incon.
venience they may have been put to
bv the triffling signboards. and after
they had meet and talked with sew
eral of the garage men were ready
to admit that the Santa Fe garage
men are honest after all, even il
they are . l;ttle hazy sometimes
ako"t the distance into town.
The question is how may overland
parties are misled by the signboards
which are put up for advertising
purposes and at what inconvennien-
&C. The State Record would sug-
Rest that IL they must be wrong. that
the least the garage men can do Is
to put the same mistakes on all of
them. In our opinion Il would look
better to the travelling public.
