GREAT TOURIST WAVE IS GOMW-QUIGlEr C. A. Quigley, Chandler distributor, who visited the big eastern auto Bhows, has gathered much information upon the , expectod tourist travel this year. In discussing the outlook for this travel, Quigley says: "I have, in a general way at least, been looking into the question of this year's so-called tourist travel to the Pacific coast, and I do not hesitate to predict that there will be a much greater great-er number of automobile parties that will come from the east and middle west to vacation in the west than ever before. Long-distance touring by automobile auto-mobile is becoming more popular every year. And the motor car is uncfoubted-ly uncfoubted-ly the greatest and most popular agency in real vacation enjoyment that has ever been developed. People are also finding out that such a trip"' by auto is much, less expensive than by train and thousands of families who I could not afford to come west by train j are taking advantage of the economy of the motor car and planning to visit . Utah and California this year. 1 have had reports from Chandler owners tell-1 tell-1 ing of trips extending over several thousands of miles at a cost of from one-sixth to one-fourth of the cost of the same trip by train. And it should be borne in mind that they had the pleasure and enjoyment of traveling in I t he open air of a motor ear instead of I in a stuffy and hot railroad train."
