One conserv’t- tive eastern automobile authority i ventures the opinion that more money will be expended in gasoline, tires, oil, meals and hotel accommodations '' by the 1921 tourists than will be paid at the box offices of the major league sea- son, which ig a good indication of how popular cross-country motoring has become. While some might regard this ex- penditure as extravagance to he charged to pleasure, a more sensible viewpoint is taken by C. W. Corwin, local Oakland representative. “It must be remembered that prac- | tically all ot these trips are vacation excursions," says Mr. Corwin, you certainly can’t charge up vaca tions as extravagance. The man who hits the open road in a passenger car is availing himself of broadening rec- reation. “and | EXPLAINS WHAT MAKING RECORD MEANS’ IN CAR Proves to Owner Just What Auto Will Do for Him, Says R.

Records alone, of course, have not been responsible for the sales volume but they have contributed in a real measure, “People argue that’ an automo: bile is not bought because it can aver- age better than 60 miles per hour on the speedway for over 50 hours. It is true no owner really expects his car to do that for him, He ‘may not even care to know that an Essex crossed America, San Francisco to New York, 3.347 miles, in 4 days, 14 hours, 43 minutes, or that the type of car he owns holds every‘ local worth while record for hill climbs, inter-state runs, etc. “All such accomplishments are made for one purpose only, and ‘that is to give® the public -or the prospective owner confidence in his car. Regard- less of whether aman eVer wants i exceed 20 miles per hour or not, he still takes pride in the fact that his THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE {automobile can do these things, ithat the same chassis and same po plant beneath the hood of the cars that, made these- new marks against time are identical with the automo- bile. that he drives. “The effect of a new transcontinen- tal record’such as the Essex made last August cannot be overestimated. Into tho;e four days and fourteen hours was put more strain, more severe tests and trials than any average ownerts cars is subjected to in its lifetime. - “Records do. pay.

A well-known Greenland explorer, who is not a member of the Commis- sion told the corespondent that one section of the Commission was hold- ing out for free trade between the Greenland Eskimos and the nationals of all countries. “This section?’ he added, “rightly says that the present ‘system of the Danish state granting a monopoly to a single company, even of this company is managed by Danish state officials and for all practical purposes is a government department, is a direct violation of all democratic } principlés. ‘ SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1921 “Without any competition, no com- pany, and particularly a company managed by state officials, could pos- sibly be expected to obtain for prod- ucts of the natives the same high prices as would be obtainable in the open market. Monopoly never bred efficiency. “On the other hand, the other sec- tion of the Royal Commission asserts that the Eskimo is a child and must pe treated like a child, that intoxicat- ing liquor and other of the ‘blessings’ of elvilization must be kept away from him, or“he will go to rack and ruin. “Every Greenland settlement has been visited by illegal traders who ‘have shamelessly taken advantage of the confiding ‘nature of the Eskimos. For a bottle of vile spirits, or a row of glass beads these ‘traders’ have rob- bed the natives of bearskins and other products of great value. So a grand- motherly trade restriction may not be right in principlo but certainly in practice.” . ‘ How.

Cut the Cost of Salesmen’s Travel C HOUSAN DS of salesmen are driving Overland cars to reduce the cost of travel and increase the results of travel.’ In addition to a long list of great na- tional organizations who supply their salesmen with Overland cars, there are hundreds and thousands of individual salesmen who own and operate their own Overland cars. Overland is so light and yet so strong, so economical and yet so comfortable, that salesmen can cover more towns, see more customers, and use more time profitably, by driving it. Overland lasts a long time and costs very little. Overland Prices Have Been Reduced The Time Payment Plan’ls Very Easy A GOOD IN VESTMENT Lahr Motor Sales Co. Bismarck, N. Dak.
