the touring bureau of the American

an unprecedented demand for touring
reformation as soon as the roads In
New England and Northern New York
State emerge from their blanket Of
snow and ice.
This region Includes exceptional
scenic localities, such as the Berk-
shlres, the Green Mountains, the White
Mountains, the valley Of the Con-
necticut River, the lakes Of Maine and
Sew Hampshire and an almost con-
tlnuous stretch of high class seaside
resorts extending all the way from
New York to Nova Scotia.
The White Mountains may be reached
by several distinct routes, each of
which affords good road surfaces and
excellent hotels at convenient in
tervals. The Ideal Tour still retains it's
popularity, and each year sees an ever
increasing number of motorists trav-
cling over it. An excellent alternative
for a section of this tour includes a
trip. over the Mohawk Trail from the
Serkshires to Greenfield and thence to
Sunapee Lake via Keene. The road over
Jacobs Ladder, between the Berk-

Has Completely
Changed "Auto Supply

Accomplish change has been made in
the place on Columbus Circle that
used to be known as the Auto Supply
Company; Once Upon a time it was
under the management of George
Robertson, the racing driver, and was
exclusively what it's name implied, a
place for the sale of automobile cloth
ing. tools, tires and supplies.
More recently John Lurie, who was
the moving spirit in the business,
changed the name Of the company to
identify it with hi own, and also
widened the spread of the business.
The store has become a place for the
sale Of all kinds not only Of automo-
bile supplies but of sport gear. and
even further than that in mems and
women's clothing. The women's de-
partmcnt is, for instance, in the care
of Miss Clare Cassel. Miss Cassel is
a very we'll known tennis player and
skater, but her work has nothing to
do with sporting goods, and in fact
she does not handle or sell any of
that line at all.
The management of the place is now
in the hands Of II. E. Norwell, who has
he'd long experience in managing stores
of this kind.

on Transporting This Fluid

When the average citizen sits down
to his breakfast and reaches for the
cream for his cereal it probably never
occurs to him that the delivering of
milk and cream to the breakfast tables
OF America involves a transportation
problem which requires a tremendous
hauling achievement. Milk is produced
IN large or small quantities on nearly
every one of the 1000, 900 farms in
this country. Every morning of the
year thousands Of persons are engaged
IN the work of transporting. it from
the farms.
as we'll as the hundreds Of cans from
the big dairy farm, are all transported
every morning to depots established
throughout the country, to the roadside
platform, to the steam road and cleo
trlc line stations or wharves. From
the farm points in the country these
hundreds Of thousands of cans come
into the cities. Over every roadway
passes the m%ilk-Iaden truck or q
The steam milk special" roars its way
over the rails to the city or the more
silent electric car speeds to the same
destination.
All these hundreds Of thousands of
cans in the space of a few hours are
uellVered TO thousands of creameries.
There the milk is clarified and pasteur-
ized, then bottled. Once more it finds
its way onto thousands Of WAGONS and
trucks for delivery to the onsumer
1t is almost safe to say that within
twenty-four hours Of the time that the
milk is drawn from the cows on the
100000 farms it is on the breakfast
tables of America.
Because milk spoils quickly. this
gigantic scheme Of collection,
ton and distribution goes on each day
IN the greatest haste, and there is
where the factor of transportation
comes into the milk industry. What
ever method of transportation is used
must be rapid, reliable, frequent. con-
tinuous and clean. 1t must cover the
most territory in the shortest time
with the maximum load at a minimum
expense.

New Trend i'm Coach
Work lis to cold Stuff
Bodies Are Going Back to the
Horse-D Drawn Vehicle
Tynes

Recent deliveries in France and Enr-
land Of completed cars ordered at last
winters Paris Salon and London
Olympia Show indicate a new trend in
automobile coach work design. In
many instances the change is largely
a reversion to styles prevailing in
the heyday Of the horse-drawn coach.
Commenting on the styles popular
abroad, George B. Warner, general
manager of the Renault factory branch,
says: THE tendency toward inclosed
bodies for general use is still more
pronounced, but a new trend is found,
in the popularity Of solid panels. This
affords a degree Of privacy quite in
contrast with the all-glass Showcase
body.
The inside drive or sedan body is,
perhaps, most popular abroad, except
that the front seats and %tonneau arc
generally separated by a glass parti-
ton. This is really a reversion to the
type famous in horse coach and early
auto days, and then known as a ber-
line de voyage. There is a further re-
version in the adoption OF b~asketwork
exteriors. This calls for painstaking
handwork, which Is again possible
abroad at reasonable cost. The fully
c~oilapslble landaulet, often called a
salamanca, which, with the top down,
has the appearance Of a straight line
touring body, is also popular, as is
the brougham, with solid panels for
town use. The coupe-limousine and
old style landaulet seem to be out of
style.
Sober colors are universally popu-
lar abroad, with dark blue, dark green
and black predominating. Fine cloth
upholstering, exquisite toilet sets with
glass covers and rich inlaid woodwork
complete the body de luxe. Metal
work is largely Of gold and silver plat
ing. The toilet cases are quite com
plete, and for this reason called Can
tine style; they are real works of art,
and in them the French craftsman's
art has again surpassed itself. We
have a number Of these new bodies
now en- route, mounted on Renault
postwar chassis"
