than is I" thin country today. The
mmeno growth of tho popularity of tolir
Inff In motorcar, since tho outbreak of tho
Europoin vvnr made foreign motor trip
n impolllllty. Iiai revealed to hundreds
ef thousand for tho first time, the heautv
nd Rienic splendor of thotc native land
In that av the automobllo has become
an edunllonal factor second only to tho
tchool stem
I have personally learned more nbont tho
natural wonders of thin great United States
Ui alzo iind heaut through the medium
of the motorcar than through an other
genev textboolo Included. Travel, nstlde
from the pleasure end of It, Is ono of tho
most Important factors In a. person s mental
development To me a trip by automobile
never become tiresome or monotonous
The automobllo tourist has manv dcllnlte
nlxant.iRcs over tourists who ndopt other
methods of transportation I'hlef of these
Is tho fm t that ho travels on his own lime,
can ro his own way and mahe the most of
everything which Interests him There are
no train (.cl.edulcs to bothei vv Itli One does
not have to rush through tho most iittiac

It appeals to but a fovv, has .1 world of In

by train Ilenco tho popularity of mo
toring Since the summer of 1914, when Europe
nas plunged Into war, thousands of us who
had formerly been enthusiasts over touring
In the Old World have had to confine oui
travel to points of Interest In this countrv
As n, rule we have profited by tho change
and at the same tlmo wo have enjoyed It
It has given us n moro wholesome respect
for America s natural grandeur It has
brought us closer to our neighbors In other
States It has broadened our minds mid
H tnauo oetter American citizens out ui ocij
one or us
To travel bv automobllo Is to learn If
tho traveler Is at nil observing And, of
eourso tho ncrage person Is observing.
Therefore tho extent of new Information
which Is being gathered every day in tho
j ear bj motorists who nre touring up and
down and across tho country Is enormous
In Its -volume A post-graduate course In
education might well bo taken In u motor
car Three months of It would accomplish
moro th in n je.ir nt some of our leading
Institutions of learning
'See America Plrst nnil See It In u Mo
torcar" Is nn admirable slogan, and It ij
applicable to cveiy automobile owner and
prospectlvo owner In the t'nited States The
more we learn about oui country, tho better
vi. Ill wo understand Its problems, Its people
and Its advantages In a vv.i. our country
Is liko our business Its ultimate suness
rests laigol on the intention mid support
we give It To know America Is to love It
It Is human that wo should support and
defend that which wo lovo, consequently
tho motorcar linv been of much significance
In making stanch Americans nut of casual
tourists
The rectntiKuIar objects: mo automobiles, coipuscles in
Philadelphia's mam artcrj, snapped fiom an upper
