The great question ie where to go with many and this caused Manager Brower, of the Judd-Brower Auto company, com-pany, to lose several nights' sleep until he settled on a run up Parleys canyon, where new stretches of roads and matchless mountain views lend more than the usual amount of zest and pleasure to motoring. And it was also I to demonstrate the wonderful touring I ability and equally matchless power of j the famed Liberty-six that Mr. Brower ; decided to hit the grades and swells of j the Parleys canyon highway. ( The business man, like the seaioned j tourist, wants to go somewhere away : from the beaten path, but for the pur-! pur-! pose of showing his wife and babr girls j and a representative of The Tribune, the hill climbing ability of the Liberty I car, he chose the canyon route. With a Liberty six, minted during ; the year 1917, sold in California, and driven around 15,000 miles, he nego-(tiated nego-(tiated the Parleys highway to the top of the divide in high gear and at an j average speed of twenty miles an hour.

And that Parleys canyon is orte of j the playgrounds of the state was well attested on the Judd-Brower motor I trip, which was made last Sunday over j the top and down the eastern slope of ' the canyon by way of Three-Mile creek I (road-work has temporarily- closed the Silver creek route) to Coalville and on to Echo, down the snug little Weber river canyon, "which is dotted with II many fine farms and truck patches. On the run over the west slope of the Parleys canyon hill no stops were made. In fact the first time the car was permitted . to halt was at a ranch house at the head of the Silver creek road. Water was taken on by all th passengers but the car would only pe mit a few cupfuls to bo added to th radiator, indicating the big Red Seal Continental motor was functioning properly. Perhaps it was through innate prit in the Liberty car that Manager Brower Brow-er took the rocky shortcut road which leads over the "divide to Three-Mile canyon. Anyway he went over the 30 per" cent grade encountering several tons of boulders on the way and a few stretches of deep sand, which made the Libertv six lu and chujr rather hard, but she never faltered, aird the top was reached in good time with the radiator still cool.

Throughout the trip to Echo and return, re-turn, tho Liberty proved itself not only a powerfully motored car but also one of the easiest riding of all the medium sized motorized vehicles.
