THE EPPINGS MOTOR -
OUT FROM FLORIDA

j. Adrian Epping arrived here last
week with Mrs. Epping and son, Stan
ley, after a motor trip from Florida.
The party left Orlando, where Mr.. Ep-
ping is located in business on May %.
1--WE were 80 days on the road, says
| Mr.. Epping, but seven of them were
spent in visiting differenot towns and
| in waiting for repairs. We averag ed
! l59 miles per day for the actual lime
travelling. Our longest run was 220
miles in Iowa. We came north by way
of Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville,
Vincennes and Terre Haute, through
! Indiana and thence to Chicago. At
Chicago we steered west over the Lin
coin Highway, leaving the great road
at Granger. Our trouble was limited
to a broken axle, two broken springs
and tire trouble. We camped out all
but three nights.
Mr.. Epping says he has seen in none
of his travels any road that can equal
the Columbia Highway for scenic beau
ty. He has praise for the condition of
the highways in the Middle West.
'By winter, said Mr.. Epping, "the
Lincoln Highway will be paved all the
way from Chicago to the Mississippi
river. The Oregon Commission is max.
ing fine headway in eastern Oregon
from Echo to Arlington. The South is
arousing to the need for better roads.
and huge sums are being expended for
improvement. The old dirt roads. how
ever, still cause the motorists much
grief"
Mr.. Epping is singing the praises of
Florida real estate. He declares the
region has been exceedingly prosperous
the past few years, and that the tourist
business of the semi-tropical section
has reached astounding proportions.
