resting up. We then started for De troit, making approximately 300 miles in one day. This drive was an extremely pleasant one as our road lead us through the very heart of the highly cultivated section of Mich igan.
 While in Detroit we had the op- portunity of visiting the Cadillac fac tory, having a letter of introduction from Larry Quinlan, manager of the local Cadillac agency, to MT. Merrill of the Cadillac factory, who very kindly invited my small son and my self to look over the entire Cadillac plant which occupied full half days time. However, we felt our time well taken up as it was a. marvel to us the way things were done in the Cadillac factory in the. manufacture of their famous motor cars. As it appeared to us, their new plant is the last word in automobile manufactur- ing establishments, and to give an idea. of the magnitude of the plant, the floor space embraces 2,1O0,000 square feet. Our Cadillac was also thoroughly looked over by the service department of the Cadillac Motor Car company in order to secure our fur ther journey without possible mis- r. repair work was necessary.
 From Detroit we struck out east by boat to Buffalo, delightful trip on Lake Erie. They told us this trip was famous for honeymooners. We judged so from the great number we saw on the docks at both ends of the route. We visited Niagara Falls and thence, via Albany, through the Berk- shire hills to Boston. We also vis- tied Plymouth, where they were pre- pairing to move Plymouth Rock to its original location.
 From there we went north, through Maine, into New Brunswick. Canada, following the St. Johns river down to Cape Torentine, where we crossed to Prince Edward Island, my old home. We spent about six weeks there, returning over the same route to Boston. Our return trip took us through New York, Washington, Philadelphia. Baltimore, Dayton, to Clinton, Iowa, where we again crossed ''The Father of Waters" and on to Des Moines over the famous Lincoln highway, then south to Omaha, Trinidad and Las Vegas.
 "On the return trip through Arf- zona we passed through Springer vile, Holbrook and the Terrified For est, and thence to ElaSSCaff, w Ill., jams, Ash Fork, Prescott and Phoe- nix.
 One of the worst stretches of road we passed over was between Flag staff and Williams, a distance of about 20 miles. It is a crime for a man with an automobile to drive over this road, and we spent an hour and half driving that distance, passing on the way a number of motorists broken down by the wayside, far dis tant from garages or any place where they could secure assistance. This was by far the worst piece of road I travelled over in my tour of 12,150 miles
 "When we drove into the Rabbit garage at Phoenix I still had in my radiator the original water that I put in at Portland, me. This seemed unbelievable, but, on inspection, was verified that the radiator was still full, and not an inch space for more water. My entire gas and oil con- sumption on the total trip was low, and, generally speaking, I feel that my Cadillac is an automobile that I am justified in feeling proud about"
