"Accompanied by my wife, we went to the Buick. Motor Company factory at Flint, Michigan, to receive delivery of a new Marquette sedan on an order we placed through the Santa Monica dealers," he said.

The next day I took the car across to Wind- For. Canada. That evening we were in Geneva, Illinois, 390 miles лenter Santa Monica,
"We kept a careful log of the entire trip as to actual time on the rosd, mileage and operating costs. It may interest motorists to know that we averaged 17-1/2 miles per gallon of gasoline.
