The tourist agency that books you for a trip around the world by rail and water has now com pleted the transportation trinity by installing luxurious motor bus equipment for the carrying of tour ists over the many famous scenic highways of the country. The tourist agency of George E. Mars ters, Inc. of Boston and New York inaugurated this mode of t avel with much success last July by placing in service the touring limousine Mohawk. The coach was routed on regular runs over the Mohawk Trail, through the Adiron- dacks; to Montreal; through the White mountains and down the Shenandoah valley. These long distance bus tours deluxe met with instant favor and on the eighteen trips run from Boston to Montreal and over the Mohawk Trail there never was vacant seat either on the outgoing or return trips. In six months the bus has covered more than 14,000 miles.
 The success attending the initial bus tours conducted by Marsters led to the purchase of additional White Model 50 busses which will be used in greatly extending the company's motor bus touring pro gram.
