Show JORDAN AUTOS HIT THE APACHE TRAIL Make Kefjular Runs Over Rough Stage Road From Globe to Phoenix, Arizona. That seventeen Jordan seven-passenger ears are being operateil successfully successful-ly and at comparatively" low cost over the roughest piece of stage roa in all Arizona, is the information that, has becu received from Phoenix by Manager Man-ager J. A. Greenewald of the Mercer & Jordan Sales company, local Jordan distributors. "Between Phoenix and Globe, and over what has been styled the Apache trail, Jordans are operated daily," said Greenewald. "The distance betweeu the two points is more than 120 miles, and much of the road over tho mountainous moun-tainous soction was cut out of rock by the government when the Roosevelt dam was in process of construction. At that time the highway was in very fair shape, but snico the construction work was completed the local authorities have given it but passing .attention and hardly that. "Constant travel has worn tho dirt from the rock interstices and the goinf in eonsequencej is about, as tough as I have ever encountered. In manv places S and 10 per cent grades prevail, pre-vail, and some nf them seem as long as the road to Tipperary. Several of the Jordans on this run have made moro than 100,000 miles, and the Pike Stage company, wbich operates the cars, stands back of them for sorvico and economy. Without a doubt the record of these Jordans has dnue much to make the car ouo of the most popular pop-ular in Arizona. " |
