Motorist Wages Heavily On Transcontinental Tour
Dr H Lenton Young of Trenton New Jersey and B Kumpf of Mt Holly New Jersey wager ten thousand dollars on a cross country trip. Starting with six dollars and a high powered automobile he must cross the continent earning ten dollars at every town where he stays two hours or more. The bet arose after Young claimed he could travel coast to coast earning ten dollars per stop and Kumpf challenged him. Young started from Maine in a Columbia Roadster to begin the run that would net a dollar a mile if successful.
