AUTO ENDURANCE
MEANS MORE IN THE
WEST THAN IN EAST

It has been remarked by a great
many people that the residents Of the
far west are much more enthusiastic
and interested over an endurance run
of an automobile than their fellow
countrymen OF the eastern. section Of
the country.
That is not due to the fact that the
westerner. as fiction writer's would
have US believe. has more sporting
blood in his veins. says Louis Geyler
OF the Louis Geyler company local dis
tributor for bort motor cars. 1T Is
based upou the fact tina the ability
OF a motor car to travel long distances
and endure gruelling hardships of the
roads and elements means more in
the west than in the east.
The very nature of the country
makes for this. Distances in the west
are greater etween towns and cities
between service stations and ever be-
tween places where water for the ra-
diater can be obtained. The westerneI
must look for stability and endurance
in an automobile above oil the other
things.
