GREATEST TOURING
FIELD OF ALL IS OUR
CALIFORNIA
Astounding Figures Compiled
and Published BY Southern
California Auto CLUB

Establishing beyond doubt that
Southern California is the greatest tour
ing field of all time, is demonstrated
in the annual report of the Automobile
club Of Southern California for 1921.
Imagine a group Of motorists so ac-
tive that they use 1904, ,952 road maps
IN single year! That is the number
issued by the club to motorists in 1921.
There were 3,141,225 "fire preven-
ton" warning signs for use on the
highways turned out during the year by
the clubs printing department. In
order to keep pace with the demand Of
auto owners in the southern part of the
state for road information 6,368,3Ol
strip maps of local highways were
printed.
To those not acquainted with the i'm
mense amount Of touring carried on in
Southern California these figures are
almost beyond comprehension, but their
authenticity is vouched for by club Of
ficials and the audited books Of the
organization.
In the touring bureaus throughout
the southern counties there were 331 GA
personal calls for information regarding
touring conditions answered during the
wear, and 245,657 telephone calls in
addition to these.
During the year the clubs insurance
department issued 46,077 policies total
ling $2,443,184 in premiums. This es-
tablished record for the United States,
1t is pointed out.
Southern California motorists stand
in class by themselves, say club Of
ficials. Using their cars the year
around, they cover more miles than any
other group of auto owners in the
world. They are continually moving
somewhere and help in no small way to
increase the financial prosperity Of the
southern part of the state, making it
the one vital "white spot" of, America
