the matter with the local representa

they, of course, are heartily en

Special Repair Car.
The Ford representatives have
agreed to send along with the tourists
a special "supply and repair car'' un
der, the direction of a capable me
chanic, and complete with full ac
cessories and equipment to make any
kind of repairs in a hurry. This re
pair car will be, with the party
throughout the trip, and will be on
hand to give instant relief to any o
the tourists who, should happen to
meet with any mishap.
Ladies and children, of course, will'
be welcomed as guests on the tour,
and each Ford driver will be urged
to bring his family. The local Ford
people have agreed to sehd a letter of
nvitation to every Ford owner in this
immediate vicinity.
The purpose of the tour would, be
simply to give the tourists an oppor
tunity to see some of the good roads
in this section , and in North Caro

out, carefully selected to give the
best, stretches of good roads at the !
least mileage, and to include some i
