A Mileage Record For Texas.

So determined is W, S. Dunbar, of Port Stockton, Texas, to hold the Ford mileage record, that he has sent his report to the Ford Motor Company in the form of a sworn affidavit. It is certainly an astonishing record, too. Mr. Dunbar makes regular trips in his Ford between. Fort Stockton and Pecos City, a distance of 65 miles, and carries four passengers. His Model T, purchased in 1909, is still in service, with the same wheels, enfgine and transmission, and has a grand mileage of 150,000 miles. 1 In addition to that, Mr* Dunbar has repeatedly made the round trip of 130 miles, sworn to in his affidavit, on 3% gallons of gasoline or a mileage of 37 1-7 miles per gallon. It isn’t remarkable, perhaps, that Mr. Dunbar should insist upon having these extraordinary figures preserved in affidavit form.
