MRS. W. A. COOK WRITES OF
TRIP TO CHICAGO
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 2, 1929.
My Dear Home-folk*:
Yesterday A. M. when the clock
at Siloam struck four we arose from
our bed* for Willie K. had said we
must leave at five. Willie and
Dorothy went for Fannie, who came
immediately and made coffee and
baked fresh biscuit for breakou t
and for our lunch. When we went,
out to pick our car (some of the
baggage <>n the outside nnd some in-
rfde) the moon land (three bright
stars hung majestically in a clear
sky and the day promised to be n
fine ore. for which we thanked God
and offered a prayer that He would
ro with us all the way. Wish you
could have seen us when we were
seated in the car, indeed we had the
appearance oT having all our possess
ion* with us.
At 5:30 wo started on our journey
reaching Atlanta before ten o’clock.
After seeing Winston n few minutes
we traveled in a Ncrth-westcrn. di
rection intending to keep the route
that had been mapped out for i
thru Cedartown, but we missed o
way at Rockmart and went 3 1
miles out of the way. While we we
lost we stopped under the shade <
a tree and ate dinner which wc e
joyed. Returning to Rocfcmarfc v
went directly North to Rome. The
scenery thru this section is beautiful
beyend description. At 5:30 we
crossed the line into Tenn., at Ross-
ville a neat little village nestling
among the mountains with Lookout
Mountain looming up in front of us
It is wonderful. I will have to tel
you how I was thrilled while wind
ing round the mountain* with the
river so near. It was frightful nnd J
yet inspiring. It is six miles to the
top of one of the mountains we
climbed and five miles down Another
mountain is four miles to the top
and perfectly level with paved roads
fat 2 miles across and when we be
gan to descend we found the road-
something like this (zig «»R). nrith
deep gorges to our right, you may
be sure we hugged the mountain side
to our left.
At <1:25 we reached the beautiful
city of Chattanooga. The sun was
fast sinking and Nashville wn- 142 j
miles away. Willie R. said, “what
shall we do? This is a mountainous
country and we do not know the
road.” I said, we will go into Nash-
vi!U.” Fortunately there was a car
in f.*«nt of us evidently bound for
the same place. We lost sight of
that car after miles of travel, but]
wc were so near our destination we
were encouraged to go on. Wc reach-,
cd the city at 11:30.
Berta was not looking for us un-j
til today, but received us gladly. Af-j
ter investigation we learned thnt wej
had traveled 409 mile.-, we expect to.
spend tomorrow night in Louisville. |
Will write you—Love to nil

All thru from Nashville the co

enough away to make the scenery
more enjoyable. We felt no fear
of having another one to climb. Tc-
bacco and corn are to be seen all
the way thru Kentucky and we saw
more cattle, hogs, cows, sheep, goats
and hordes than we saw in the valleys
of Tennessee. We arrived here
about 6:30 last evening. Our friends
were ready to receive us and gave
a welcome that we appreciated. J

More people have purchased New Buicks during the*past
two weeks than in any similar period of any previous year
The New Buick with Bc.dy by Fisher has met
with a veritable landslide o( public demand,
many purchased before ever seeing the car
— many thousands of others placed their
orders the first few days it was on display-
other thousands have been taking demonstra
tions and .hen making Buick their choice.
More Buick owners have entered orders —
more men and women who owned other cars
have turned to Buick—more people who for-
merly paid from $1000 to $2000 higher for
then automobiles have purchased Buicks-than
ever before during a similar period in Buick's
twenty-six year history.
The total demand during these tuv weeks is
/rom three to five times as great as that for any
other automobile priced above $1200
Popularity SO overwhelming carries an un
mistakable message to every prospective
motor car buyer: See the new Buick—drive
tt—compare it—and you'll quickly discover
that it s the greatest dollar-for-dollar value in
the entire quality field.
