Trip of 1,000 Cars to Macon Will Be
Headed by Most Famous Car
in the World.
Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 22 and
continuing through that day and the
morning of Wednesday, the red clay
roads of Georgia will be filled by an
automobile tour the like of which the
world of motoring has never seen be
fore.
The cars will come from all parts
of the state, following different routes,
converging at Macon. There will be
from 1,000 to 1,500 of them, and they
will carry, in all probability, more
than 5,000 persons. In one line the
cavalcade will measure more than
five miles in length, and even this
distance would put them too close to
permit of safe handling.
Furthermore, the tour will be com
prised exclusively of one make of
car.
The destination of the tour will be
the Georgia State Fair.
The tourists will be the invited
guests of the Fair management and
the Studebaker Corporation of De
troit. The occasion will be the cele
bration, at the Fair, Oct. 23, of
"Studebaker Day”—the first event of
its kind in the history of Georgia’s
venerated and famous exposition.
All Roads Lead to Macon.
The tour of the great Studebaker
family in Georgia has been the sub
ject of long planning. Its organiza
tion is really one grand gathering of
a score or more of district tours,
which will be started from the prin
cipal cities of the state. Among the
prominent starting points for the va-.
rious. divisions will be Americus, At
lanta, Athens, Augusta, Dublin, Co
lumbus, Hogansville, Gainesville,
Montezuma, Brunswick, Valdosta, Mc-
Donough, Fitzgerald; Carlton, Thom
asville, Savannah and Thomaston.
Each/ of these tours is in charge of
the Studebaker representative in that
city who has laid out the schedule
and planned the route. The cars will
all be timed to arrive in Macon dur
ing the morning of Wednesday. The
central position of that city is such
that the longest trip from any of the
business centers in Georgia will con
sume no more than a day and a half.
It is expected that, the cars will
make a bright pageant along the high
ways. Each passenger will wear a
bright, gold and black badge, indicat
ing his motoring allegiance, while the
cars themselves will be decorated
with rich pennons of blue and gold.
Autos Will Fill Big Field.
At the Fair grounds, the cars will
be parked inside thfe mile race track
which will present a veritable field of
automobiles, systematically arranged
with avenues of entrance and exit.
Only the man who has seen 100 or so
motor cars parked in this way, will
be able to appreciate what it will
mean to behold ten times that many.
When the last of the tourists has
arrived, a committee will take a cen
sus, listing the cars by cities, as the
first step in deciding the identity of
the winning team. The number of
cars present from each city will be
divided by the number of Studeba
, ker cars known to be owned there,
thus securing the percentage of rep
resentation. The percentage will
then be multiplied by the number of
miles traveled to Macon. This ar
rangement will give both small and
large cities a fair chance at the big
prize.
The award itself will be the fine
"Studebaker flagpole,” donated by
George W. Hanson of Atlanta, south
ern sales manager of the company.
The pole will later be erected on
whatever spot in the winning city, is

chosen, by the members of the victo

Big Barbecue Next.
Shortly atternoon, the big Studeba
ger family will gather under the
spreading oaks which form so beau
tiful a feature of the Fair ground,
there to renew their allegiance to
that time-honored institution, a real
old-fashioned southern barbecue. An
experienced barbecue man has been
placed in charge of the catering and
skilled helpers will, under his direc
tion, prepare on a bountiful scale, the
time-honored bill of fare consisting of
pig, lamb, Brunswick stew and rel
ishes, with suitable “trimmings.”
More than a carload of carcasses
will be required to feed the throng.
Chickens by the hundred will end
their mundane careers in the stew.
To prepare the food will in itself re
quire a carload of selected dry, oak
wood. Enough foamy beverage has
been ordered to float one of Uncle
Sam’s latest dreadnaughts.
A program of speeches and sports
will follow the barbecue.
Treat for Northerners.
The entire celebration has been ar
langed through the co-operation with
the Fair management, by The Stude
baker Corporation of Detroit, which
is not only the host at the barbecue,
but has also arranged for the free ad
mission of the Studebaker cars and
their passengers, at the Fair Grounds,
on the day selected. Clement Studeba
ker and a number of the company’s
officials will be present, drawn both
by their desire to meet the Georgia
members of their business family,
and to participate for the first time
in a southern barbecue. Especial ar
rangements are being made for the
entertainment of the northern visitors
by the Macon Chamber of Commerce.
A still- more noted visitor to the
Fair on Studebaker Day will be the
most famous automobile in the world
—“Bullet” Studebaker “30.” Sports
men and motorists all over Georgia
will be interested in the return of this
car to the state where it won its first
fame as a road, track and endurance
champion.
Methuselah of Automobiles.
“Bullet” was last seen by the Geon
gia public in the Tiedeman Trophy
Grand Prize race of 1910, at Savan
nah. Since then, the car has travel
ed all over the United States, except
the Pacific Coast, everywhere attract
ing great interest on account of the
fact that it is the only car, so far
as known, which is being definitely
used as the basis of an experiment in
automobile longevity.
The life of a motor car has been
an unsatisfactory, if prolific, subject
for argument, ever since automobiles
came into general use. In their esti
mates of the length of this period,
motorists have ranged from one year
to twenty. Even manufacturers have
• been unable to cast light on a prob
lem which must be considered of vital
interest in their plans for production,
f When the Studebakers decided to
> settle this question by actual demon
. stration, so far as their own product
. was concerned, they chose “Bullet"
as the medium. The car was the
, ninth turned out by the Detroit con
. cern and had been the first shipped
. into the south. During 1908, ’O9 and
TO, “Bullet” had authentically cov
ered over 73,000 miles on Georgia
. streets, roads and race tracks, in the
service of George W. Hanson of At
lanta, the firm’s southern sales man
. ager. Since the factory took charge
. of the experiment, “Bullet’s” mileage
. has been increased to an excess of
120,000 which, figured on the com
, mbhly accepted basis of 5,000 miles to
an average year of service, indicates
t a potentioal lifetime of 24 years,
j “Bullet’s” Wide Fame.
Due to the acknowledged anthentic
■ ity of the test, “Bullet” has been
। made the subject of hundreds of mag
’ azine and newspaper articles. The
car has also furnished the subject
matter for a booklet, ‘‘The Autobiogra
phy of an Automobile,” of which more
than two million copies have been
published.
While “Bullet’’ will not be able to
indulge in the pig, lamb and stew,
the old hero will be given a little ban
quet of gasoline and oil and will, if
track conditions permit, be driven by
Harry Cohen, race champion of the
south, in an effort to set a new rec
ord for the Macon track.
The presence of this veteran auto
mobile is sure to add spice to the ar
gument which always arises in a
gathering of motorists who drive
Studebaker cars. Each is naturally
of the impression that he has the best
car ever turned out by the big De
troit factory, and this is a belief irre
spective of the age of the car. The
owners of the pioneer cars sent into
Georgia will be able to use “Bullet”
as a strong example of their conten
tion that, regardless of mileage and
service, their cars are as new and as
capable as those which show by their
gloss and nicked, a very recent ac
. quaintance with the factory.
