recently issued by the El Paso Auto
mobile club Miss Buena Glider COL
>lected the material for the folder
and supervised it's compilation. The
finished folder and road map is
considered one of the best gotten
up in the southwest for long time
The majority of the scenes are
along the Borderland highway, known
as U. S. Highway No. 80. This
highway begins at Ell Paso and leads
westward through Douglas to San
Diego, and is rapidly becoming recog-
nized as the best all-year route to
the coast through the southwest.
Several scenes from the Wonder
land of Rocks are shown on the
folder and another scene depicts a
section of the road to Pinery canyon.
The road map plainly designates
the various places of interest and
the distances between each point
along the entire borderland route
1t is the opinion of chamber of
commerce officials here that the. pub
licity given the Borderland highway
by the map will result in greatly
increased travel through Douglas.
