Flutterproof 1958 road maps boost crosscountry travel
The piece touts new flutterproof road maps and a travel kit from a gasoline company, offering routes, road sizes, weather, rest areas, and a mileage log. It notes lists of forgotten items and suggests using dealer facilities along highways to plan trips, with a light jab at avoiding asking locals. It also mentions Ole Miss players Bob and Bill Benton, sons of East St. Louis pastor Dr. B. B. Benton.
