REQ SEDAN BUS
MAKES EASTERN.
WESTERN TOURS

The successful journey entirely
across the United States of big
de luxe REQ motor coach just com
pleted last week in Los Angeles has
aroused interest throughout the en-
tire country, not only among street
car and stage line operators but the
general public as well. Especially
in the east and middle west has this
been the case, according to J. C.
Brandimore of the REQ Motor Car
Company of Lansing, Michigan, who
was passenger in the big bus dur
ing its entire trip from Lansing to
New York and back again across
country to Los Angeles by way of
Yellowstone Park, Seattle and San
Francisco.
''The far west has Travelled en-
tirely too fast for people east of
the Mississippi said Brandimore
in talking of his 6OOo-mile journey.
We have been asked about our
widest experiences on our recent
eross-country trip. We didn't have
any. The roads were supposed to
be terrible More than half our
journey was on paved highways and
the remainder over roads that were
seldom bad and then only for very
short stretches. There were very
few stretches along the entire route
we followed where we were out of
sight of a ranch house, or at least
cultivated land. Instead of hunter
cultivated land.
