HE ARIZONA. REPUBLICANS 1921 Will Reward FIGHTERS utomobile ' Section; THIRTY-FIRST YEAR (Section Four) PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1921 (Section Four) VOL. XXXI, NO. 362 THE GREAT OUTDOORS BECKONS! WILL YOU HEED IT? I V,- r-'--Cl ---Si;- JXJciU Never before have the wonders and beauties d Arizona been brought to the attention of the people of this state in so striking a manner as has been done this last week by the motor car dealers of Phoenix. With untiring efforts, these optimists and busi ness builders have plunged into a campaign to keep the Arizona dollar at home, and for that purpose have worked unceasingly jwfor the past three weeks to give to. the people an insight into the greatness of our state, and its opportunities for investment, home-making and enjoyment. Data has been collected from the remotest corners of the state, logs have been made of every road in the state, camping places have been "discovered" and sought out, recreation resorts have been brought to light in fact, nothing has been over looked in the endeavor to put into the hands of the public full and adequate information as to the possibilities for real, genuine, enjoyable outing in this the most wonderful scenic state in the Union. Governor Campbell, in his address last Thursday evening, touched upon the life of the people of the state. He told the people of Phoenix that they should, by all means, get acquainted with ti e great God's country, north of the Grand Canyon. He told them of the wonderful thrift of the -people of Apache and Navajo counties, who raise and make everything they live upon. He spoke of the great happiness of these people in the northern forests their freedom from worry, care and trouble, and of their great con fidence in the nation and state. "Get acquainted with them," he urged. "Go into their country, meet them, taste of their won derful hospitality, learn the secret of their happiness, and you will return to your homes fresh, imbued with new life and much more fitted for better citizenship." This is exactly what the motor car dealers (of Phoenix are trying to bring to the public both car owners and those who do not possess cars. For, it is being shown, a man' can buy a car and camping equipment sufficient for his family and tour the state for less money than he can get a "vacation" for in California. It is being proved that instead of returning to his business or posi tion in a "fagged out," condition, and with an empty purse, he gets back on the job with increased vitality and with money in his pocket. The great outdoors has never had a competitor in the work of building up the health and happiness of man. Nothing in the way of medicine has ever been concocted or developed which will restore health and vitality as Nature and her great ele ments will do. T3 'rvo r Th marvels of the Gillespie Dam, together with full information on route and road are to be had of Ed Rudolph, Ford distributor. Rudolph ran down to the Gillespie Dam last week, and his ' information is as authentic as Ed knows how to make it. Here then, comes the value of the automobile. Ndthing has so helped in bringing to man that freedom for the enjoyment of health and recrea tion as the automobile. Without an automobile, man could never 'penetrate the great "back woods," with its delightful mysteries. The auto mobile has been the helping hand to humanity in bringing Nature to man. As an investment, an automobile cannot be figured in dollars and cents. No man can figure the value of health. It is past the realm of dol lars and cents. Without it, money is worthless. And, the automobile's value cannot, therefore, be mea sured by its intrinsic value but by its ability to bring to man that health and happiness .which every hu man being was intended to possess. You who do not possess a csfcr take these lines to yourselves and ponder them. Unless you have had the pleasure of possessing a car little do you realize what one will mean to you and your family. If it is nothing more than four wheels with seats mounted upon its frame, it will get you to the great outdoors, where happiness lays. It will. open up a new vista of life to you. The cares and worries of city life will ap pear insignificant to you after you have reached out into the great Outdoors and tasted of its happiness. With the return to stability of the1 automobile industry, there has been made available to the public the best values dollar for dollar, ever seen before in the automobile market. With the present rapid upward trend in production in all lines of mer chandise, the movement of raw ma terials and produce and the return to normal buying throughout the country, a scarcity of good cars is becoming more and more apparent.

His story of this trip was printed in full by the Prescott papers. Today is the logical time for the pur chase of a car, whether used or new. Every automobile dealer la going the limit to make it possible for you to buy the car you want and need. Every possible obstacle ia being re moved which would prevent you from becoming one of the great army which will "get back to nature, and happiness" this beautiful spring and summer season. Go 'to your dealer and ask him what he has for you.. Tell him what you can afford to pay for a car. You can depend upon his honesty If he selects a car for you. He knows that nothing can be gained unless you are satisfied. He realizes that noth ing constitutes so great a boost for his business as a "satisfied custom er." Tou men who have felt that you could not afford to own cars should by all jneans take time to look over the local market. You will be surprised at the. reasonable ness of car prices and at the genu ine values open to you. Phoenix au trrnnb"e d"alerH are to a man hon est, straightforward business men.

The main roads out of the cities aeain are clogped with automobile traffic More than ever, this year, as automobile manufacturers will testify by their sales. Rather than join the slow proces sion, the nature loving motorist turns off the popular highway into the narrower country roads.
