CARAGE SERVICE
OVER THE COUNTRY
GREATLY IMPROVED
Fields Secretary of the Lin
coin Highway Association
Tells of Better Conditions
Found on Trip.
Automobile traffic has become so
much a feature all over the land that
the little garage in the blacksmith
shop or the garuge In a store and the
many temporary structures erected
along the roadside are now giving way
to modern brick and concrete fire
proof structures all over the land. H.
S. Ostermann, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association, and Roy
S. Marsh, the "scout masteY," both
brought back word from trips of thou
sands of miles of the improvement in
garaging conditions in every section of
the country.
The garage men who started in a
small way, substituting work on mo
tor cars and the supplying of motor
cars with gasoline, oil and other ne
cessities, have prospered, and are to
day proprietors of large, roomy, light
buildings constructed along the latest
and most modern lines to care for a
business which, light at the start, has
grown to remarkable proportions. This
condition not only exists in the more
settled eastern country, but is found in
the far west in small towns and in
places where tourists would expect to
discover only the most meager accom
modation for the car, and where they
will really find the very best for the
car, and oftentimes the poorest for the
tourist.
TELL8 OF DIFFICULTIES.
Mr. Marsh, after his sealed hood,
clutch and transmission run of 6202
miles over the Lincoln highway to the
Pacifio coast, and back over the Na
tional Old Trails roads in the Elgin Six
National All Trails scout car, told of
some of the difficulties he met with,
and of the splendid care he received
on the trip. The Elgin scout car, which
was surveying and reporting the roads
for the United States war department,
and foi* the many associations of na
tional character Interested in road de
velopment, and the establishment of
transcontinental and other touring,
sprung a leak in the radiator on Its
trip of over 825 miles in 24 hours across
the Mojave desert. The leak was on
the inner side and seals could not be
broken without yielding one of the ob
Jects of the trip.. Frequent stops at
garages in an effort to stay off certain
failure of this feature were necessary.
•And 1 was never more surprised," said
Mr. Marsh, "than to find in every little
town and hamlet through which we
passed, and at which we stopped to
work upon our radiator, splendid gar
ages. modern tn every way, and with

The garage men were all of a pros

glad to see tourists anil ready to sell
them almost anything wanted for their
ear. They were each and every one
most interested in the Elgin and its ob
jects as they felt that our work would
serve to increase still more their work
with tourists by increasing the tour
ing traffic through knowledge of the
roads."
