All of these route books which have been adopted as “official” by the Automobile Clubs (and most of the others) have been laid out with the Warner Auto-Meter, “The Aristocrat of Speed Indicators.” Because exhaustive tests proved to the Road Map that every Warner was just like every other, and that the mileage shown by the Map Car Warner would appear on the trip dial of every other Warner that ever passed that point. Note How Touring With a Warner Works Out in Practice. We could easily fill this space with touring experi- ences, all leading up to the same conclusion—hundreds of miles of absolutely unknown territory traveled with- out a single direction asked, even in the large cities. A couple will suffice. The first week in June a millionaire manufacturer of Davenport, Iowa, while in Detroit, bought a popular priced car to “drive himself.” The first time he ever took hold of a steering wheel was on this car, in the out- skirts of Detroit. His lessons gave him the “ bug” to such an extent that he determined to drive home to Davenport. So he bought an Official Route Book and a Warner and made the whole distance without asking a single question. At Every Direction the Warner and the Route Book Corresponded Exactly. A few days ago we met a Motor Enthusiast in Chi- cago en route for San Francisco with his wife and son. FREE TO AUTOMOBILISTS.

He had not been compelled to ask a direction up to that time—nor will he the remainder of the distance. If every owner of a car could have listened to his enthusiastic eulogy of a Warner, they would never again be satisfied with an inferior indicator. An Exclusive Warner Refinement Which Adds Still Further to the Joys of Touring. All Warner instruments of the dial type (see illustra- tion) have two resetting buttons for the trip mileage figures. One resets the figures to 000.0 with a single turn, The other works on the tenths of a mile only, mak- ing it possible to turn up any desired mileage on the trip scale. This makes it possible to drive around the boule- vards or through the parks at any point and then in a few seconds set the mileage back to correspond with the Route Book readings. Those who tour regularly will appreciate this refine- ment. Those Who Select Unreliable Indicators Be- cause of Low Price are Missing the Big Joys of Motoring. The Warner was selected for surveying the routes in these different Route Books because unvaryingly accur- ate and reliable. Every Warner was found to indicate exactly the same as every other. No two indicators of other makes indicated the same. You should have a Warner on your car to interpret these routes for the same reason, if you do any touring If you don’t tour you are missing the most fascinat- ing part of motoring. tires, gasoline, oil, repairs, etc. Sent ‘incinnati i it | r PRE eelne lls Fepairs, etc. | Sent Cincinnati Detroit, Los Angeles Pittsburgh ; | Model M2,Price $125 | Address M.A. Little, Booklet Department, | Buffalo Cleveland Indianapolis New York Portland, Ore.
