The State of New Mexico has been transformed through the automobile. By State and Federal aid there are now 2,500 miles of improved highway cross- ing the State, and the result is that they are taking care of a heavy traffic, carrying fruit and produce to Northern markets. The roads have also been the means of attracting thousands of tour- | ists who would have otherwise trav- eled around the State. Fifteen years ago there were 10,000 cars in the State 2nd these were to be found in the cities, but last year there were 85000 :ar& which means one vehicle to every tate. i FREEMAN [# Making Sure of GET A KISS —A ANYTHING ELSE FoR @'STMAS £ TURN YOUR.
