One of the most important by
products Of motor touring is the keenef
appreciation of American history and
national historic shrines that has come
in the wake Of the ever-increasing mo-

Motorist. the official publication Of the
American Automobile Association.

that is competing for first position With
the slogan, See America First" 1t
continues:
indications seem to make 1t rather
evident that the prcsent-day motor
tourist Is quite as interested In visiting
historic shrines as he Ia In visiting
scenic objectivcs. 1t was inevitable
that this should be the case. since
motor touring provides the best possible
postgraduate course in the study OF
American history
This growing appetite for history on
the part Of the motoring masses is at
tested to by librarians and by national
and State historic societies. Historical
pageants of recent years we're visited by
hundreds of thousands Of motor tourists
and have focused attention In con-
crete and intimate way not only on the
particular event celebrated but on all
historic shrines
"A convincing testimony to the cur
rent interest in history is shown in the
extent to which States and municipal

The number Of steam railroads using

increased from 90 In 1925 10 81 n 1927.
These lines used nearly 1000 buses
over 5000 route miles.
More than 100 electric railway com.
panies using busses we're added TO the
1927 list. The number OF companies
operating buses In 1925 was 266 and

that preceded it. The wide expansion
Of good roads has enlarged the range Of
business activity enormously. 1t is per-
fectly feasible to make prompt deliv-
cries over distances that were ell out
of range a few years ago. But to do
this trucks must be designed for fast
duty service. They must be able to
cover the ground more rapidly save
time and operate at speed with smooth
ness and economy of fuel That is what
the new type Of six-cylinder truck is
primarily designed to do.
In this way 1t has become an en-
tirely new asset to business Its first
net return to the owner Is redNced
cost of maintenance and operation.
And 1t also helps him spread his busi-
ness over a larger territory.
The truck OF the new era affords an
other great gain. 1t attracts better
class OF drivers. Truck drivers today
are in many instances statesmen. In
every instance they are at least a rep
resentative of the owners business. A
modern truck. easy and comfortable to
handle, attractive in looks entices men
Of higher caliber than were available
some years ago. Truck driving has been
raised in dignity and in efficiency ac'
ecrdinrly.

ments acquired control Of many small
independent companies serving their
territory.
Probably the most remarkable de-
velopment OF the year in bus trans
portation has been in long-distancc
operations. Prior to 1927 the popular
conception among transportation au-
thorities was that bus operation had
an economic limitation In route mile
age OF between so and IS miles. Dur
ing the past year 1t has been shown
that under certain circumstances bus
operation over route mileage In excess

Operations between Detroit and

land and Pittsburgh. st. Louis and
Chicago. Boston and New York. and

tween Los Angeles and st. Louis with
connections for Chicago and Detroit.

Appreciated by Railroads.
Even the more conservative rail-
carriers. such as the New York. New
Haven &, Hartford, with its operation
between Boston and New York. a dis.
Pacific. with It's operation between
Portland and Ashland. a distance OF
over 300 miles. have come to appreciate
the advantages Of long-distance bus
transportation. The Great Northern
Railroad, one OF the first rail carriers TO
concede the possibilities OF bus trans
portation, he's been engaged in long
distance operations between Mime
apolis and Duluth. Mimi. and Por.
Arthur. Canada. over a considerable
period of time.
Other factors which have contributed
to the tremendous growth OF the motor
bus in public favor are the changes and
progress which have been made in bus
body and chassis design. These. how
ever. are more or less incidental to the
economic development OF the bus and
are to be expected as the natural re-
suits Of the progress Of the industry
and the favorable reception with which
this method OF transportation IS
meeting.
A total OF 1925 independents opcr-
ated $4,000 buses over 255000 route
miles during 1927. In 1925 there we're

COSTLYLUXURY
Automobile Becomes Every
Day Necessity at Moderate
Expense tot Public.

From an expensive luxury to an
everyday necessity the automobile has
moved along the path of progress
until today It uses large percentage
of the raw and finished materials pro-
duccd IN the United States, according
to Sid Black. prominent motor COM
pany executive OF Cleveland. Ohio.
Never in the history OF the world
has an industry shown the remarkable
growth which characterized the auto
mobile industry during the last Is
years" Mr.. Black said. I'm 1902 the
automobile was still In the expert
mental stage and many prophets were
certain 1t would never be more than a
fad. Public sentiment with ignorant
superstition was strong In opposing
its popular use. A few scattered man.
ufacturers produced inefficient ma
chimes fashioned after the familiar
buggy. Steam cars were about as nu-
merous as gas-driven vehicles.
Vehicles Registered in 1927.
"At the first OF the year 1927 there
were 24.589,249 motor vehicles regis
tered In the United states: or one one

families in the United States l5,3l7.500

almost $4,000 100000 a year in wages
to nearly 100000 persons. Taxes
alone take s7o0 100000 yearly from

and third In exports. :.

Much Expense Eliminated.
mo longer Is the automobile an
expensive luxury. but an everyday
necessity. Present-day business could
not be conducted without the automo-
bile Truck facilities supplement the
railroads. Five hundred railroads in
the United States and Canada use this
service and nearly as many more are
using motor busscs. The thousands
and trucks for business and delivery
purposes are we'll known.
Town and country have been
brought closer together by the motor
car. The dense population OF the
major cities has been thinned out by
the development OF the suburban
areas. the automobile being largely re-
sponsiblc. To the farmers rapid trans
portation and quick method Of haul
ing produce to market have been great
helps: - ,,. -, ....,
responsible for great many improve
ments In manufacturing methods.
Quality in quantity has been one of the
great results Many machine shop In
ventions which are of untold value to
large number of industries have been
developed primarily for the motor
trade. Automatic hand tools. multiple
drills mammoth presses and other au-
tomato machines are among these.
Other Industrial Advancemcnts.
Improved foundry practices and
synchronized conveyor systems are
other industrial advancements which
can be attributed to the automobile
and which are instrumental in raising
quality and increasing output.
Despite the phenomenal growth OF
the industry, there is still growing
market both home and abroad for
improved cars. The year 1923 should
see the industry in a far more stable
condition than 1t has been in 1927.
The replacement market Is constantly
growing larger. as is the two-car field.
A survey made by the National Auto
mobile Chamber OF Commerce showed
that of the car-oWning families only
is per cent owned more than one
car each in 1920 At present this
number has grown to about l8 per cent
and is still increasing. thereby offering
greater sales possibilities for the auto
mobile manufacturers.
