Atlantic Coastal Highway Will Turjn Eastern Shore "Traffic To The Carolinas 5.T0 PHILADELPHIA AND w NEW YORK ATLANTIC COASTAL HIGHWAY wilmihctj:,', DEL. TO NORFOLK, VA. | COPYRIGHT 1930 JACK DeLYSLE ' 3 , ["cRA*N3Y \ C. M. SAWYEP, 1 TOMIAWiC' Virginia and the Carolinas are go ing to be the recipitents of a tre mendous volume of tourist traffic this season, according to Jack De Lysle, Director of Promotion and Piflbli^ity for the Atlantic Coastal Highway Association. Mr. De Lysle has just returned from a survey of points on the Atlantic Coastal High way from Maine to Florida. With the completion of the new ferry line from Pine Beach, near Nor folk, to Cape Charles, Va., and with the readjustment of the car and pas senger charges by the Pennsylvania ferries, thousands of automobiles are going to come down the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula taking advantage of the 130 mile saving over the Du Pont Highway from Philadelphia to Cape Charles. In the past Cape Charles has been connected with Norfolk by the Pennsylvania ferry on a three hour schedule with the charge of ap $13 for pas per passenger, line has permits head ! carry approximately 100 automobiles 1 and 500 or more passengers. It is (expected that the charge for cars will be a flat rate of $2.50 per can and fifty cents per passenger. Thousands of automobilists will take advantage of the broad ,all paved concrete Du Pont Highway via Philadelphia, Wil mington and Dover Delaware, Salis bury, Md. .south to Cape Charles, Va., thence across by ferry to Norfolk, where they will spread out for Flori day and all points south via Virginia No. 12 to Suffolk, Franklin, Empo ria, Roanoke Rapids, Enfield ,Rocky Mount to Wilmington, N. C., Charles ton ,S. C., and the south; or over Fed eral U. S. 117 to Suffolk, Franklin, Weldon, Enfield, Rocky Mount, Wil mington, N. C., or over Federal U. S. 117 Suffolk, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Rich Square, Scotland Neck ,Tarboro, Wilson, to Wilmington, N. C., and south; or via U. S. Federal 17 Nor folk, Edenton, N. C., Washington, New Bern, tp Wilm*11^011* N. C.j and thence south. The majority of the traffic will go] by Wilmington, N. C., where the short I cut (the King’s Highway which is now under construction and will be completed at an early date) from Wil mington to Georgetown over the Cooper River bridge to Charleston, an additional oaving will be made; or from Wilmington, N. C., a consider able number will follow U. S. 17 tc Whiteville, N. G, Mullins, S. C., Mari on, S. G, to Florence, Charleston and Jacksonville. In the past the major portion of the traffic has come from the east via Federal U .S. 1 to Richmond and Pe tersburg, Va., and thence left the At lantic Coastal Highway to continue to Raleigh ,N. C., Fayetteville, Col umbia, S. C.# Macon, Ga. ,and thence into Jacksonville. The slogan of the Atlantic Coast al Highway Association is to split this traffic up and go down one route and return another. Due to mislead ing propoganda a so-called Coastal District route via Luraberton, Fay etteville into Wilson, N. C., has re peatedly used the name of the Atlan tic Coastal Highway in speaking of this particular route which connects up with the Atlantic Coastal Highway at Florence, S. C., and Petersburg and Richmond, Va. The tourists leaving Maine and points north will find the Atlantic Coastal Highway following the shore line in practically all of the coastal States as the most advantageous and representing the greatest amount of paving an any continuous highway in Ameijica. The Atlantic Coastal Highway As sociation through its president, Col. Joseph C. Stehlin of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, has undertaken a na-, tional campaign of advertising to en- j lighten the tourists as to the advan tage of traveling over this magnifi cent hij^hway’ antid the connecting routes. Elaborate maps, data, etc., have been prepared and cities along the route have taken memberships in the Association and pledged their support and cooperation to the travel ing public. Passing the most historical spots of the Revolutionary and Civil War periods, in close proximity to a ma jority of the well known bathing beaches, golf courses, etc., through a picturesque section that is a veri table sportsmans paradise with hunt ing, fishing, bathing and boating, the Atlantic Coastal Highway offers the practical aU year round route form north to south. Two New Products Made By New Bakery Two new products have been placed on the nutrket by The New Bakery, at Rosemary, bakers of the famous “Mammy’s Own” bread, cakes, pies and other bakery products.
