TO make the 310-mile trip between

utes. Lubbock lowered his preceding
DAVIS record considerably. Had not
some twenty or thirty minutes been
lost due TO stops along the highway
for gasoline and TO assist in righung
an overturned truck, Lubbock prob
ably would have made the trip IN
much better time. As ii was, ne Is
believed TO have set record.
The start was made from the 81.
Anthony hotel in San Antonio at
6 a. m. Monday. in the presence OF
ID. r. Colp. local representative OF
the Glacier.to-Gulf Motorway. under
whose auspices the marathon run was
staged. Occupants of the car IN
cluded Grayson Lubbock. the driver;
George Marshall. engineer OF the
Glacier-to-Gulf Motorway, who was
formerly state highway engineer, anu
two local newspaper men.
The first stop was made at Bee
vile, where the gasoline supply was
replenished. At 1915, just four
hours and fifteen minutes after the
start was made, the marathon car
arrived in Corpus Christi. a distance
of 1JS miles. Incidentally, on the
return trip, this record was lowered
fifteen minutes, only four hours be
ing required TO travel from the gulf
coast port to San Antonio.
The marathon car arrived in
Brownsville at 5 :5S y. m, just few
minutes behind scheduled time. About
thirty miles of detours were respon-
sible for the lateness. At no time
kuntil It reached the valley was the

all the way it ran from ten 10 fifteen
minutes ahead of schedule.
The marathon run excited great
interest all along the route. Big
signs on either side of the car and
sign in the rear proclaimed the
fact n marathon record was being
sought. A police siren in the front
of the car, operated by George Mar
shall, warned traffic of the approach
ing car.
Reception at Brownsville.
Occupants Of the marathon car
were given a royal reception on their
arrival in Brownsville. They were
greeted and officially welcomed TO
the border city y city and county
officials and representatives of the

a dinner TO occupants OF the mara

was greatly appreciated.

The marathon car left Brownsville
at 0 o'clock Tuesday morning on the
last half of the run. About fifty
miles out of Brownsville, the car
came upon Ford truck loaded with
fuel wood which had overturned when
edged off by some powerful car. Out
of sympathy for the driver of the
truck, who was left helpless on the
highway, Pilot Lubbock hitched his
Nash TO the truck and in the twink
ling of the eye had the overturned
truck righted. He was showered
with thanks by the grateful Mexican
driver.
No car trouble whatever was en-
countered on the return trip, not
even so much as a puncture. The
car was. handled with great expert
ness by Pilot Lubbock, who, while
attaining the greatest possible speed
consistent with safety, observed all
speed laws. The Nash car performed

Manager of San Antonio
Overland Company, Back
. From Branch Managers
Meeting, Brings Optimis-
tic Tidings. 49,.

The Willys-Overland Company Of
Toledo, Ohio, manufacturers of Over
land and Willys-Knight motor cars, is
building more automobiles this year
than in any other year in its history.
Such is the information brought
back last week by /. D. Mckee, mana
ger of the San Antonio Overland Com
pany, Willys-Overland distributors in
Southwest Texas, who attended a
meeting Of branch managers and dis
tributors held at the Toledo factory.
A brighter future was never faced by
Willys-Overland, Mr.. Mckee says.
ITO show the rapid strides being
made by the Willys-Overland Com
pany, it might be interesting to know
that during the firt six months Of
1923, the Toledo factory produced TO-
600 more cars than were produced dur
ing the entire twelve months last
year, which is q record l believe few
other automobile factories can boast
of having equaled.
Optimism Prevails.
Every Wlllys-Overland man. from
the office boy on up to John WHY'S,
the president, is filled with enthus-
iasm. All are confident that 1923
will prove the biggest year in WHY'S
Overland history.
although only one unit Of man.
power is now used in building WHY'S
Overland cars where two and one
half units were used in 1920, new en-
ployes are constantly being added to
the pay rolls. Today the Willys-Over-
land Company employs more than 49,
600 persons in its various depart.
ments.
All Models in Demand.

periencing great popularity all over

Grande valley is the opinion of valley
good roads boosters, all Of whom took
great interest in The demonstration
run. The remarkable performance OF
the Nash Six also aroused much COM
ment.
The run made by Pilot Lubbock, d.
Il. Colp and two San Antonio news
papermen has demonstrated to the mo-
toring public that the Rio Grande
Valley is now only one day distant
from San Antonio. the Mecca Of the
winter tourists. Good highways now
connect the Valley with San Antonio
highways such as were unknown in
South Texas less than a decade ago,
and construction crews are now at
work in half the counties along the
route making still further improve
ments.
'The demonstration run should
serve to bring about still more CO.
operation between San Antonio and
the Valley in attracting winter tour
lists to South Texas" was the COM
ment of County Judge Dancy, who is
'the father of good roads" in the Rio
Grande Valley. "The int 'ests of
the Valley and San Antonio are iden-
teal and the fact that we are now
linked with improved highways which
make it possible for the tourists tn
reach the Valley in one day should
bring the closest cooperation between
that city and the Valley in the mat
er Of advertising South Texas, and
to this section the tourist
traffic of the northern and central /
states which is now being diverted to |
