Show BITE TRUCK IS TOURISTS' ILL! Yellowstone Park Visitors Find Its Service Ever Reliable, Is Word. Yellowstone park and White motor trucks are inseparable in the minds of thousands of tourists, according to Bav-urd Bav-urd V. Mendenhall, local distributor tor White trucks and pnssenter cars. Ourmg the past few months hundreds ot blah people, as well as tourists trom all parts of America, have praised the remarkable performance of the big official j-ellow cars which carry thousands of sightseers through the wonderland of the Yellowstone. ' Every car of this great fleet, numbering nearly 150 iu all, is a White standard chassis with passenger body. lTp and down the mountain roads of the park, night and day, these powerful cars travel, never seeming to stop for anything but to load and unload full quotas of passengers. The shrill whistle of the siren, which is distinctive ou all official Yellowstone park cars, can be heard on all the roads, from Jackson Hole on the south to Mammoth, hot springs -and Gardi ner, tont., ou the north, from Cody entrance on tho east to Yellowstone entrance on the west. Throughout the 33 IS square miles of this great playground these cars, with their happy crowds of passengers and daring drivers, are sighted early and late, as they perform their work of bringing America's wonders to her citizens. citi-zens. "Ono of the remarkable things," says Mr. Mendenhall, "is that no tourist tour-ist has ever yet told us he saw a White truck stalled or o'-herwiso unable to do its full duty on those mountain roads. We have been forced to conclude con-clude that every car in the big Yellowstone Yel-lowstone fleet performs every day as if it were on dress parade. No trouble of any kind has ever been reported by visitors, and when it is remembered that this city is the gateway to Yellowstone, Yel-lowstone, and that the large majority of people who go there come to Salt Lake afterwards, we are safe in assuming assum-ing that White trucks give the same satisfaction in the high altitudes and on the steep climbs of the park as they do on paved city streets. "It must bo remembered by those who have not been so fortunate as to visit Yellowstone, that there is only one transportation system for hotels and permanent camps in the park today. to-day. This is the official Yellowstone Transportation Co., which absorbed all the other organizations of like character. charac-ter. No horse-drawn vehicle is seen today on the roads of the park. On July 31 it was officially reported that over 31,000 people had visited the park up to that date this year. Before the end of the season this number will be materially increased. By far the large majority of these people traveled through the park on the bis official yellow cars White trucks. The comfort com-fort 'provided for tourists in these roomy cars, with their deep cushions, has had a wonderful effect in causing these sightseers to sing the praises of White performance and endurance." |
