There has been a great deal written and said abou.t the value of automobile tourists. Not all or it has u;;;.;n correct, since much of it bas been more or less guess work and the p~rsonal opinions of groups promoting highway routes and trails and publishen: of books in which advertising is the main issue. In many cases the data given out is somewhat out of line, but be that as it may, the truth is nearer their figures than the realization on the part of most towns of what the actual value really is. A check of automobile tourist traffie in practically every corner of the country shows an average of three an done-half persons per car, the average daily expenditure for not less than ten-day trips to be over $17.00 an average of 250 miles daily, covering seventeen cities and towns; and that less than 20 per cent of the traffie are "Tin Can Tourists"-th ose who live in camps and travel in what might be termed second class.

There are few towns of 40,000 population, and many with less, that do not now have an average traffic of 25,000 cars per week (3572 per day or 223 per hour for 16 hours a dayle~s than two cars each \Yay per mmute) -and motor traffic will increase yearly. Twenty-five thousand tourist ears enroute spend $442,000.00 in seventeen towns per week, or $26,000.00 per town. A business bouse with an annual bu~iness equal to this would be somethmg to talk about. Every town has a chance at this business. It may not be $3,714 per . da_y, but one-fifth that much is some1 thmg to go after. The live business organization knows the amount of traffic that passe_s through the town the same a:t any hve merchant knows the number of people that pass his store. No town or business can tell if they are getting their share of business to be had if they do not know this. The c:ash value of tourist or motor traffic 1s great enough to warrant concerted action and expenditure of goodly sums to get it, but there is more: twenty per cent of the out-ofstate motor traffic is in the market for, or can be sold, a new location. Good roads have widened the farmer's range of marketing at a profit and have broadened opportunitie s for the development of labor, but too few towm o.nd cities have capitalized on it.
