Dependable Dealers Use These Pages | TOUR BUREAU BIG SUCCESS Hundreds’ of Motor Travelers Served by Tribune. By SPARK PLUG. As it nears the close of its first season, the ‘Tribune Bureau of Tourist Information operated at the office of this newspaper since May 1 of this year, may be said to have proved « complete success and a true boon to the Casper motorist and the traveler from the outside. it has faithfully served with ac- curate information thousands of local people and has routed those who are strangers to the country safely through the woods to their destination or to “Home, Sweet Home" as the case might be. The Tribune has kept an accurate account by register of the people who have applied at the Tour Bureau for information. It makes interesting reading as it catalogues hundreds of the visitors of the sum- mer. Not the least among the ser- vices offered by the new department has been the tri-weekly issue of a highway bulletin authorized by rep resentatives of the State Highway department tn all pa of Wyoming, and checked closely by the local hixhway office. The bulletin has been sent three times each week to every local ser: vice station, hotel, garage, and to the chamber of commerce, the tour ist camp and the highway depart- ment. In addition the tour depart- ment has matied coples of the bulletin to every Wyoming city and through this medium, the fame of Wyoming's leading newspaper as an institution of service has been greatly heightened. From every corner of the state and from Denver and Omaha, the ‘Tribune has received letters of con- gratulation upon its enterprise in launching the first service of this kind in Wyoming. The Rocky Mountain Motorists’ association of Denver was especially emphatic in This editor of the superior to any issued by a w motor association. maps, which take in the territory from the Great Lakes to the west- of Wyoming were tern. and many of them haye been given to tourists.

They will be given free of charge to those who would like to have them for early fall trips or for reference next year, ‘They will go in a hurry, folks, so better call for yours right now. .

Rains, so prominent during the middle of last week; did little or no damage to Wy- oming roads and by Monday or Tuesday highways throughout the state should be smoother and better than at any time during the past month. Little travel over them dur: ing the latter part of last week due to the wet weather and the fact that rain renders road surfacing in a condition to be easily dragged by a maintenance crew has enabled the State Highway department to “do its stuff” and put the state arteries of travel in Al condition In practically every corner of the road construc is under y and while it may necessitate a RECENT STORMS NO BAR TO ENJOYMENT OF KOTOR TRIPS; STATE HIGHWAYS SMOOTH of “cuss” words from Papa or who- ever the driver happens to be.
