Indianapolis Motorists Head for Florida; Winter T ravel to Southern Resorts Gains

AFG

Hoosier Club Averages 100 Calls a Week on . Best Route.

A combination of colder weather .and new cars plus the regular seasonal trend is held responsible for this year’s heavy automobile traffic . between Indianapolis and Florida, according to local travel bureaus. Winter traveling to the Southland . has been increasing steadily in the . past several years. because of the ‘ new scenic as well as direct routes ~ that have been opened, travel cxperts state. | ° The share-the-cost trip is the - most popular \method of reaching Florida and fk many persons ‘ to go who would be unable to do so ‘ otherwise, the bureaus say. The Hoosier Motor Club here re- ‘ ports that, while it serves members ‘only, it receives approximately 100 - inquiries a week ba the best route : to Florida. The most prefetred way from Indianapolis to the west coast of "Florida goes through Louisville, ‘ Nashville, Birmingham, Montgomery and Tallahassee, according tof - the Motor Club. |

most scenic and miles longer by this road but travel is faster because 1t avoids all of the steeper mountains.

Less than 10 years ago, Miami was | the most popular and many of the other towns could not cope with the Today |

winter influx of visitors. Tampa, Daytona, St. Petersburg and even many of the /inland towns, such as Winter Park, are growing alluring. ° Many of the Indiana visitors to ‘Florida visit the, inland lakes and what used to be out-of-the-way ‘small towns on the east and west coasts. Favorite | locations of the Hoosier bent on fishing are the islands off the St. Petersburg coast, * The average distance to Florida ‘by the recommended routes is ap- ‘ proximately 1220 miles and aver‘age length of the trip one way is three to three and a half days.

Trailers Go In Fall

The heaviest trailer traffic winding into Florida takes place in the early fall according to the travel “bureau. They attribute this to the ‘fact that the trailer-equipped vaca_tionist has longer to spend in Florjda and a great many of them re- . ‘main there all winter.

Only occasignally does some roadweary travelér~ship his car to Florjda and now with improved smooth-

er and faster highways this practice|

‘according to {the agencies. * Cost of travel by train, plane and ‘bus can be| estimated fairly ac‘curately but|/as yet no one seems ‘to have figured the average cost of a vacation by auto to Florida. One travel| agent summed up the financial aspect thus: The average vacationer returns in about two weeks not because he ‘wants to but bacause he has to,”

~ Willys-Overland Volume Up 50 Per Cent

TOLEDO, O., Dec. 30.—The total ssales volume of Willy-Overland “Motors, Inc., was more than 50 per ‘cent greater during the first 24 days of December than during the comparable period in 1937, William C. ‘Cowling, vice president, announced ‘today. “That business in genera! will continue to show improvement is an accepted belief by the public and _ during the next few months it is quite likely that Willys-Overland will command a sizable share of the sales of motor units, both in domestic and

export fields,” Mr. Cowling said. mre,

New Trimble Service Station Is Opened

Opening of a second Trimble Oil service station at Michigan and ‘West Sts, was announced by Charles L. Knoerle, manager of the ‘Trimble Oil Corp. today. This new station includes a retreading and recapping plani especially designed to render custom work to dealers, fleet operators and ‘car owners, with 24 to 48-hour service.

er, Factory equipping would not mar the beauty of the car. “The hand signal is a throwback to the days of the open car, the crank starter, and the one-man top. The laws governing hand signals were passed before the invention of the modern stop light.” Another member wrote: “Trucks are now equipped with left and right-turn lights and it seems unreasonable that automobiles, in whjch there are so many more lives at stake, should not give the same type of protection. “Most European countries require that all vehiczes shall have and the drivers shall operate this type of safety signal. The signals have been standard equipment on automobiles there for some years.”

Freuhauf, president of the Freuhauf Trailer Co. Reasons given by Mr. Freuhauf for this change is that the hauling of dead weight is costly in itself. Many states have weight taxes as well
