"The New Bern Tribune carried

Miss Anna Eagan of Pittsburgh who
visited here in 1885 with the Caro-
lima Motor Club sponsored tour of the
State for Travel Bureau executives"
r. E. MOwry, of the Delaware
Motor Club, writes me that since be-
ing a guest on our tour through the
Carolinas in 1885 that their organiza-
ton has routed more than 1000 par
ties into the Carolinas, and we have
definite records of many additional
thousands having been directed to the
Carolinas by travel counselors and
travel editors who heretofore had
been almost totally ignorant of our
attractions for the traveller
Thousands Coming Here.
These are just some of the results
of the Tour conducted by the Caro-
lima Motor Club in 1885. We know de-
finitely of thousands of people who
have been directed to the Carolinas
by travel counselors who came here
and saw with their own eyes an area
undiscovered by the world travelling
public It would not be unreasonable
to believe that several millions of dol
lars have been spent in the Carolinas
as a result of that one tour. Think
what the results would be if a great
World Scenic and Historic Exposition
would be held in the Carolinas? There
is sufficient reason to justify the
word world" because we have here
in the Carolinas the birth of civiliza-
ton. the birth of aviation and the
history of Charleston and George
town. Edenton, New Bern, Whining
ton and Manteo is unsurpassed in the
nation.
The states are without funds with
which to develop such an exposition
and so if we are to capitalize on the
opportunities offered, the men and
the corporations of wealth who have
pride in their State will have to lead
the way. Such an undertaking can
never be a success, however, unless
the various communities will agree to
work with it and to forget their
jealousies.

the nation today is that of extending
travel seasons. The Carolinas offer an
all-year season to the traveller and
these seasons can best be developed
by getting the people here who are
most influential in directing travel
and getting the travellers here them
selves. We are going to find this year
that the seasons have spread out to
such an extent that it is going to be
necessary for many resort points to
delay their closing dates.
With the official cooperation of
the State departments, the commun-

of this kind could result in prosperity
for the CarOlinaS such as we have
