It is not practical to I give anything
like an accurate estimate of the
amount of money spent in North Carolina
by automobile visitors fromfor?
I
eign states, but It is sufficient to
say that their expenditures in North
Carolina amount ta many millions of
dollars annually, profiting the land
owners and business men sufficient
to justify their taxes to make our
great highway system possible.
Travel into North Carolina has
greatly Increased from year to year
for the past five years, blut has not
yet reached anything like what it is
tn ho
fiuiu5 tv MV.
There are great possibilities of diverting
the travel from tbej North and
East that has for many years past
been going West, to North Carolina.
* These people are in a recejptive mood
and eagerly seeking information regarding
our roads, our ijesorts and
our hotels.
The Carolina Motor Club, through
its headquarters office ajnd several
branches, answers thousands of inquiries
monthly from those who desire
to see North Carolina, who wish
to spend some time at our resorts or
at our hotels. While in! practically
every instance they {ike to know
about our mountains and! our coast,
yet they are alwhys interested in the
great industrial and agricultural sections
of our state, and plan to visit
them.
Everyone is reaping a benefit from
this tourist travel; the hotel, the resort,
the drug store, the automobile
establishment, the hardware store,
the cafes, the grocery stores and even
the doctors and lawyers profit because
of the injuries and accidents
upon our highways. The land owners
profit most. The building of the
highways has meant more to them I

Oldsmobile 8tock Car Plows Through
f<. * Blizzard.
*V
Plowing through a 12-hour blizzard
and racing over a route ; largely of
ice covered, rutted gravel, a stock
Oldsmobile coach raced for seven
days and nights without 4 stop last
week, rolling up a total mileage for
i the 168 hours of 5,950. Thjls distance J
fj is believed to be a non stop record
C for an automobile, particularly at the
If rate of speed, which averaged better I
I* than 35 miles an hour forj the entire
I week.
I This is the second annual Battle
U Creek endurance run made by an
Oldsmobile. Last year a professional
driver broke both car and driver endurance
records by driving an Oldsmobile
8,558 miles in 121 hours and
59 minutes. This year Lee Barnhart,
of the Barnhart Motor Sales Com(I
pany, Oldsmobile dealer in Battle
(Creek, determined to turtner tesi me'
Oldamobile running It continuously at
high speed (or a week.
Mr. Barnhart and six amateur drivers
took turns in sending the Oldsmobile
coach over a 78.3 miles course,
of which 55 miles is poor gravel. The
route consisted of a maze of sharp
curves and was through three cities
and two towns, at each of which
stops were made each lap for registration.
Saturday night, the fifth day of the
run, a blizzard raged for 12 hours.
During this time the Oldsmobile
plunged its way through snowdrifts
and over roads other drivers considered
blocked to traffic.
In the 24 hours including the storm
period a total mileage of 873 miles
was made. The best day's mileage
was 977.7 miles.
From one to four passengers beside
driver were carried at all times so
that the test was under constant observance.
.Careful check of gasoline
and oil was kept, which showed an j
average mileage of 16.8 miles per
?- \ gsllon.
j After tHe test the Oldsmobile was
dismantled and proved to be in excellent
condition despite its gruelling
H . experience.
The Battle Creek ran Is the latest
1 of several held daring; recent months
in which Oldsmoblle has demonstrated
the remarkable endurance, stamina
V- and power built into 1926 automobiles.
