Purpose Of Trip.
For the benefit of those who are not
acquainted with the purpose of the
trip to be made Sunday, it is stated
that The Light inaugurated these Sun
day afternoon caravan tours for the
purpose of giving motorists the oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the
beautiful scenery in which Southwest
Texas abounds. 1t realized that there
were many motorists who dislike set
ting out alone but who would welcome
the chance to make these trips in
company with other motorists.
The first caravan trip was made to
Boerne in the beautiful Kendall coun-
ty country. About 100 motorists in
80 cars went along. The second trip
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-08-05

was made to Seguin in Guadalupe
county. This time nearly 500 motor
lists in about 100 cars accompanied the
caravan. 1t is expected that several
hundred more will join the caravan
on its visit TO New Braunfels, Sun
day afternoon.
4 Jack Carson, popular sales manager
of the Clifton George organization,
and Clifton George Jr., an official Of
the same organization, are planning
several novel stunts for Sunday after
noon. These stunts probably will in
clude slow race, tire changing con-
test and others equally entertaining.
All Are Invited.
The Light wishes to make it plain
that any motorist who wishes to ac
company the caravan to New Braun
fels is invited to go along. regardless
of the make of car owned. The flivver
owner will be just. as welcome as the
man who driver limousine. and vice
versa.
Following its usual custom, The
Light will send its staff photographer
along Sunday, as well as its auto
mobile editor, in order to insure plenty
of publicity of. the trip. Pictures TAX

of the trip will appear in The Light

try abounds in beautiful scenery and

Sunday should prove one of the most
interesting and delightful of the sea-
son.
