Motor Rambling 
Y ES. I know; used to feel just that way 
myself. Every week-end we would fill the 
gas tank, oil up and start. Nowhere in 
0 particular — just got out on the dusty road. 
When the mood struck the party, we parked 
alongside some wayside tea-room or road- 
house, had a round or two of messy, fizzy 
drinks, some rouged-up ice cream, or stopped 
for dinner where good food was manhandled 
by a foreign-bom chef. 
The night was generally spent at a hotel lo- 
cated midway of the main street of the town. 
After dinner the choice of amusement lay be- 
tween a jazz band, a game of billiards on a 
rock-ribbed table, and killing time until morn- 
ing on the downy couch in the stuffy bedroom. 
Then, tired out, we returned to the office for 
another week’s grind. 
But for the Auto Rambler the open trail leads 
from the crowded speedways. 
He follows the highways and byways, enjoying 
the hills which grow up to the sky, the brooks 
as they gurgle contentment and a fishing invi- 
tation, reckoning not the deepening shadows 
as night comes on. 
His is the hostelry of the wayside. Equipped 
with auto tent, cooking outfits, bedding and 
food, the Auto Camper is not dependent on 
even the village store for his accommodation 
or food supplies. 
One does not have to motor far to locate a 
camping site. Just back off the main road, in 
a little grove of white birches on the banks of 
a noisy brook, which will furnish the water 
and, perchance, fish enough to fill the break- 
fast frying pan. 
The tent erected, the bedding inflated, the 
chairs and tables in place and the kitchen cor- 
ner arranged — the camp is complete.
