PUBLIC REALIZES VALUE OF MOTOR. GAR ON VACATION
Is A Means For An Enjoyable And Economical Tour For
 Whole Family

The American public Is just begin ming to realize the wonderful value of the motor car as means for making the vacation far more in structive, economical and pleasant. At least that is the opinion of the Oakland Motor Car company after an investigation as to the cause for the greatly increased number of tourists and vacationists on the roads today in motor cars.
 The Oakland Motor company has enjoyed a wonderful business during the past winter and spring months, and a check of most of the sales of Oakland cars has revealed the fact that d vast majority of Oakland owners spend their vacations on the open road.
 For this reason the Oakland Motor company has constantly worked to produce a car which is not only de- pendable under all road conditions, but very economical as well. The average owner of a car wishes to make his money go as far as possible on his vacation. Usually fixed sum is set aside by q family to meet the expenses of the vacation trip. If the ear this family owns is both de pendablc and economical, it simply means that their trip will be com rleted without any unforeseen car eX peusc,
 The Oakland company has u,,- ouestionably succeeded in their pur- pose of producing car especially adapted to the Vacationist's require ments. This fact was proven by their recent winning of the famous osemite Valley Economy and En- durance race in California. This is the second successive year ill which the Oakland has won this race, win ming each time over every make of ear entered. regardless of weight. size. number of cylinders. etc.
 It is estima ted by authorities that four CT five people can make a trip covering several thousand miles and lasting several weeks by motor car for the same expense which Is or dinarily incurred by party of two when stoping at a fashiona ble resort for single week. This being the case. there is small wonder that hundreds of thousands of people are seeking relief from summer heat and work on the inviting roads leading to all parts of the continent. Ger tainly nothing could be more re- freshing and pleasant than to an- swer the call of the great outdoors in reliable motor car with an agree able party of friends.

People Who Have Cars At Resorts Have Best
 Time

This season, although it is not yet in full swing, has disclosed the fact that an increasing number of peo- pie are finding 1t practical and more satisfactory to take their motor cars with them to the various summer re- sorts.
 In commenting on this situation. P. R. Mccormack of Mccormack Brothers Motor company, recently made the statement that the motor car was needed more at resort than at home.
 AS mater of fact" remarked Mir. Mccormack, "a car is far more useful and necessary at the average resort than at home. This Is readily understood when one recalls that there is always a disagreeable lack of transportation facilities at resorts, while at home one can usually find some transportation substitute-less satisfactory, of counsellor the mo- tor car.
 Tt Is noticeable that the people who have their cars with them al the resort, always have the best time and are always on the go. Time doesn't drag for one with car along, for there is always some where to go UT SOiIIttii4IlS tD hC - one only had a way of getting there at the right time. People without cars hesitate to impose on their friends who have them. and the re suit is that they do not get to the many points of interest in every locality.
 If one plays golf, the car will en- able him to visit the various courses In the vicinity. The adjacent clubs, bathing beaches, etc, are visited most readily by motor car All-day motor trips to points of interest are always welcome when other pleas- ures begin to tire. And in an emer- gency. the car becomes not only convenience, but a necessity.
 We have noted with great deal of pleasure that many owners of Peerless cars in this vicinity are pre- pairing to take their cars with them this season. Some of these owners are planning very extensive trips, covering thousands of miles. We are always ready to encourage such plans, as we know that in doing so we are helping theml make their triD a mora en niOVable One.'
