BROWN, Passenger Traffic Manager Pier 35 North River, New York )CIA329743 :'; Winner Glidden Tour DEFEATING 63 other contestants, breaking all previous efficiency re- cords, winning every trophy and prize money in its division, the Maxwell team, composed of three Maxwell touring cars, won last year's Glidden Tour, the largest event in the history of motor car contests, as the only team to travel over 1,454 miles of America's worst roads from New York to Jacksonville, Florida, with an absolutely perfect score. Four Maxv^ells maintained 100%^ efficiency from start to finish. Maxwell has twice main- tained the highest team efficiency in the Glidden Tour. Maxwell won the Team prize THE GUDDEN TROPHY Maxwell won the Individual prize THE ANDERSON TROPHY Maxwell won the Division Team cash Prize There were no other prizes to win As the winner of the Glidden Tour, Maxwell was crowned the American Touring Champion by the American Automobile Association. Maxwell cars had the best team score the pre- vious year also, and in 1 906 won the Deming Trophy. We believe that grilling endurance tests conclusively establish motor car efficiency, because the car is tested in the same manner that the owner will use it. Direct Benefits TO A. A. A.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, is located on the "National Highway," and has many attractions for automo- bile tourists. It marks the point where the Savannah-Char- lotte through route connects with the National Highway. "The City of Electrical Energy" is the name given to it by many. During the past decade the population of this place increased 88 per cent., and the impetus which it has gathered will in time make of it a large city, because of its many nat- ural advantages. It is now the center of cotton mill develop- ment in the South. Tourists delight to stop here and enjoy the comforts of the good hotels, Country Club and other clubs; the conven- ience of the up-to-date garage, to ride over the smooth stone roads of Mecklenburg County, and incidentally to look up the many points of historical interest in the vicinity; for this was the seat of considerable activity during Revolutionary times, when Lord Cornwallis invaded the Carolinas.

MEMORANDUM 38 (39j)74.8 ■I -^ ^ ^ •^ 5 ^ ft ^ 2 ^' -o COLUMBIA G.W.A. Columbia, S. C. COLUMBIA is the capital of South Carolina, and is, there- fore, Its social and legislative center. Columbia has a popula- tion within the corporate limits, embracing only four square miles, of 26,319, and with the suburbs a population of about 45,000. All of these suburbs are connected with the city by electric car lines, with a schedule both ways of seven and one- half minutes. Columbia is the geographical and railroad center of the State, having eleven lines of railroads radiating from it, mak- ing it within reach of any county in the State in four and one- half hours. It has fifty-seven passenger trains daily and sixty regular freight trains. In addition to the railroad facilities, it is reinforced by direct water connection with the ocean at Georgetown, S. C, having two boats plying regularly on the Congaree and Santee Rivers. A new steamboat company has been chartered with a capital of $150,000, which will soon oper- ate three steel boats and three steel barges, giving it unsur- passed river facilities. These boat lines decrease freight rate to and from all Eastern and coastal points thirty per cent., and during the year 1909 saved the merchants who patronized the boat line a little over $25,000 in freight. Columbia has six hospitals and infirmaries and is recog- nized as the medical and surgical center of the State. Columbia has unexcelled climate, the weather undergoing very little change in winter or summer, the average tempera- ture in winter being 47.2 and in summer 79.4, with an annual rainfall of 46.21 inches. Columbia is 350 feet above the sea level. It has an abundance of pure water, daily tests showing its purity to be never less than 99 per cent. Columbia has eighty-three miles of streets, none of them less than one hundred feet wide and several of them 150 feet wide. Twelve miles of these streets are macadamized, which was done without bonded indebtedness. Columbia has unsurpassed educational advantages, and during the summer of 1910 $406,000 were expended on new school buildings and improvements in an educational line. The roads leading into Columbia are of famous sandclay type, properly constructed and maintained. Columbia is one of the few cities in the south having a commission form of government, which is working wonders for the city, and within six months' time has lifted a current indebtedness of about $90,000, beginning the new year unen- cumbered, save by its old bonded debt of $850,000. Bonds for this $850,000 have recently been sold at a premium of $30,000 and the bonds brought 104 — 30 years 4J per cent. Columbia has twelve hotels, the Colonia Hotel catering especially to tourists. Columbia has eight cotton mills, with a total capital of $5,562,900, with an annual product value of $5,000,000. Columbia has twenty-two miles of street railway, extending to every part of the city and suburbs, carrying 3,000,000 pas- sengers annually. Suburban extension is a policy of the com- pany. Columbia has eight sound, solid banks, the deposits of which have increased over 500 per cent, in ten years. With its geographical position, its railroad facilities, its water facilities, its health and the cimate, with hustling people, energetic and broad-minded. It is destined soon to become the leading jobbing, distributing and manufacturing center not only of the state, but of the South. Its people extend to new comers a warm welcome and a fostering care. 40 I . ^^ r^ ^ -K ■^ >5 :>^ ^ X i ^ r> ill J: 3^ ^e m so c^ JU 4^ *» o o '-J^ c -J H •^ ^^ m ^~' z 3- ^ J> ^ o (V ^3 ?

C, Is rapidly becoming prominent as one of the most charming winter resorts of the South. Few places can offer more at- tractions to the traveling public than are found in this lovely pineland village. At an altitude of about sixty-five feet above the sea level and at a distance of twenty-two miles from the historic city of Charleston, fairly nestling in a forest of health-giving pines, lies this altogether 'unique little town, without its counterpart in any part of the world. The temperature during the winter months is generally mild and peculiarly free from cold blasts, the average maxi- mum and minimum temperature for sixteen years being 71.6 degrees and 58.9 degrees, respectively. Owing to the sandy soil and undulating character of the land, the natural drain- age is most excellent, and this has been further improved by a system of drains extending in all directions throughout the town. The streets are noted for their cleanliness and good order at all times. The climate is remarkably dry when it is remembered that the ocean is within twenty-two miles. The maximum rainfall for nineteen years is 56.76 inches.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA— ten years ago the site of Jacksonville was a gigantic heap of ashes and smouldering ruins; today its stcy-line is broken by numerous buildings whose stories run into the 'teens, its residences are new and its people prosperous. Not a thing in Jacksonville is anti- quated or out of date — it is modern from center to suburbs, its streets are lined with dignified oaks, stately palmettos and spreading and blossoming magnolias. Its churches and schools are housed in splendid structures. There is historic interest about Jacksonville sufficient to occupy the mind for weeks. Old Fort Caroline is but a few miles down the river, and St. Augustine is 40 miles away — over a road built by the Spaniards of Ponce de Leon's time. It is the quaintest and oldest city in the United States. The beauties of the tropics have been lavished in the section about Jacksonville.

At the north of the Main street still may be seen one of the bastions of Fort Loudoun, built by George Washington as a defense against the Indians. Winchester is said to have been taken and retaken seventy times by the armies of the South and North during the Civil War. The remnants of Star Fort and Milroy's Fort still may be seen, while thousands of Confederate and Union soldiers sleep in adjoining cemeteries. Sheridan's headquarters is on the corner of Piccadilly and Braddock Streets. On the corner of Braddock and Cork Streets may be seen the office building occupied by Washing- ton when he was a surveyor in this section. Lord Fairfax, proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia, is buried under Christ Episcopal Church on the corner of Water and Wash- ington Streets. Winchester is in the heart of the great fruit section of Virginia. From the orchards immediately around the town, nearly three hundred thousand dollars is now realized each year, while hundreds of acres are new growing trees that will soon come into bearing. Land that could have been pur- chased ten years ago for fifty dollars an acre, now sells for five hundred dollars per acre, when improved by an apple- bearing orchard. Winchester has a successful woolen mill, knitting mill and glove factory and several large wholesale houses. There is an active demand for labor. Fine macadam roads radiate from the town; and the development of the country is increas- ing the movement towards the improvement of these roads. The house in which William McKinley was made a freemason still stands in Winchester. About 15 miles after leaving Winchester, you will pass by Cedar Creek, a famous battleground during the Civil War, thence on through Strassburg to the battlefield of "Fisher's Hill," about 20 miles south of Winchester; then on to New Market, about 30 miles farthern down the Valley. The "Battle of New Market" was a famous engagement during the Civil War. At New Market you may branch off the Valley Pike for Luray, a distance of 14 miles from New Market. You find, at Luray, the "Caverns," visited by very many tourists.

It has fourteen passenger trains daily, which bring it within four hours of Washington and five hours of Norfolk. The coal fields of West Virginia are close at hand; and the city government and public utilities are in a high state of effi- ciency. The elevation is 1,500 feet, water pure, clear and cold, the climate proverbially healthful and educational facilities unsurpassed. With these advantages, and surrounded by wonderfully fertile agricultural, fruit-growing and cattle-rais- ing country (which earned for "The Valley" the title of "The Granary of the Confederacy"), it is but natural that Staunton is famed for the culture, thrift and prosperity of its people. The tourist, as well as the home-seeker and investor, finds many attractions in the "Queen City of the Valley." Gypsy Hill Park, the prettiest in the State, the numerous macadam roads, with their magnificent views radiating into the surrounding agricultural and orchard country, and the hospitality of the people, all combine to make Staunton the Mecca of the tourist. Visitors find a cordial welcome and much to interest them at the Mary Baldwin Seminary and Staurt Hall; The Staunton Military Academy and Dunsmore's Business College; The Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind and The Western State Hospital, the two latter State institutions. They may also be interested in seeing the house where Woodrow Wilson was born. MEMORANDUM 76 (15.7) m.B'' ^ ^ ■ t ►— o C3 > e^ o IT e/o > Ul -* i (A 0. UJ Z < ;?; r ^ es n < z < a £ "— ^ It u •«* ii.
