PLEASURE IN TRIP
ACROSS COUNTRY
TranscontinentaI Touring Di-
vested of Its Difficulties,
Expert Declares.

Washington motorists who enter
lain any fears as 10 the success of
their first transcontinentaI tour
should find encoura cement in the fact
that AS far back as the year 1903 the
Trip was made in 55 days with one
cylinder car of that vintage.
This information is offered by Oscar
Foolican, president of the Packard
Washington Motor Car Company as
evidence that transcontinental tour
ing is sufficiently broken in" to war
yant taking the trip today with every
assurance of success.
'Transcontinental touring by auto
mobile was % years old on June 49,"
says Mr.. Coolican. When you start
out for the Pacific Coast in your new
car there will be - years of expert
ence TO simplify it for you.
First Car to Make Trip.
f. 7. Fetch. the driver of the Old
Pacific, the one-cylinder Packard
which journeyed from San Francisco
To New York in 1908. contends that
this was the first automobile to go
from coast TO coast under its own
power. Since then the trip has been
made many thousa nds of times over
many different routes and under all
kinds of conditions, but the motorist
who is planning a transcontinental
trip invariably feels that he is a pio-
neer and is accordingly unnecessarily
apprehensive.
There is another point about trans.
continental touring which seems to
bother Il number of car owners. They
feel that a trip of this nature means
shortening the life of the car. l have
sJalked with some motorists who actu-
ally figure on having to buy a new
car on the coast in order to make the
return trip TO Washington without me-
Chanical miShapS. 1t should comfort
such motorists, therefore, TO know
that old Pacific is still in service. its
present owner being recently fined for
exceeding the speed limit near Miami,
Fla.
Success Scored by ''Old Pacific"
This ancient car uses a nine-ho
power motor 10 pull a 3.000pound
body. Through the sands of Nevada
il was necessary TO make a road out
of floor boards, proceeding just few
feet at a time. Most of the route was
over roads which motorists of today
would not ever recognize as such, and
many hundreds of miles were nothing
more nor less than wastes of sand,
mud and rock. But in less than two
months Old Pacific had reached its
destination.
'"The old car was equipped with a
governor SO that the driver could not
exceed 20 miles an hour even if he did
strike a good piece of road. The only
map used for this pioneer trip was a
Union Pacific Railway guide. There
was no previous motor and touring eX.
perience of transcontinental nature
to fall back on.
ANY motorist who, thinks he is pio-
neering with u tranScontinental motor
trip nowadays is simply borrowing a
lot of unnecessary trouble. The way
has already been blazed. 1t has al
most become a duty for American
travellers to avail themselves of the
opportunities which early motor tour
lists have struggled to make for them. ="

Life insurance always assures

death the mortgage on your home could
be Cancelled or an adequate income for

ESTATE IN TACT
IF INSURANCE
IS CARRIED
Life Policy Solves Cost Of
DYING and "Save What
You Leave" Problems.

Every man with a wife and children
endeavors to give his loved ones the
very best in the way of home sur
roundings and comforts and most of
these same men give many anxious
moments to thoughts of how to pro-
tect their dependents against all con-
tingencies.
OF these contingencies untimely
death is probably the most feared and
undoubtedly causes much needless
worry on the part of the husband and
father. The San Jacinto Life Insur-
ance Company can solve the problem
easily.
The San Jacinto Life Insurance
Company was organized IL years ago.
1t is one of the strongest in Tex:s.
Agents are representing this company
throughout Texas and Louisiana.
WHY THE NEED.
"If the length of our time was GER
tain, we could make our own plans to
accumulate during that period, and
there would be no need TO insure
against the loss of time" says III. L.
Steele, agent. "A savings account at
the bank might fill the bill. But life
is uncertain, the loss of years of time
is not only n possibility. but a very
strong probability and life insurance
is the only means by which man
may cover this loss.
If a man dies at so when his ex-
pectancy is 20 he has lost 20 years OF
his time. And all that life insurance
does or can do is to provide partial
substitute for the earnings that are
lost because that man failed to live
out his expectancy.
SAVE WHAT YOU LEAVE.
Loss, or partial loss of income, loss
of management and oftentimes loss of
credit may cause a fortune soon TO
dwindle away. Many man has been
rich in life, though poor in death,
which should remind us that how to
save what we leave is one Of our
greatest problems.
Life insurance, therefore, is a per-
feet solution and the only solution of
the cost of dying problem a death
fund to meet these death demands.
PAY DEBTS.
THE one demands cash, the other
supplying that cash, both coming into
existence at the same moment, one TO
balance the other, thus leaving the es-
tate intact and the plans of the in
sured undisturbed these debts can be
paid and the original estate un-
touched"

Because of CALIFORNIA; stringent in

company in America more secure for

The Pacific Mutual had made rapid
growth in the last decade, yet has al
ways adhered faithfully to the prac-
tees and principles of safe underwrit-
ing and has conducted its business
along conservative lines.

increasingly large place in the insur-
