Lincoln Highway A Backbone of US Transport History
The Lincoln Highway, famed as the longest through route, connects New York to San Francisco and serves 60 percent of the population with 67 percent of registered cars. Since 1912 the Lincoln Highway Association has pursued a continuous, toll-free main road, now largely paved, with federal aid shaping a national system and a 1922 investment of over 6 million dollars. The route, 3,305 miles, has become a key symbol of national travel, with 75 percent of US traffic expected to be served by the evolving highway network within 15 years. The 1921 act and state highway departments have accelerated construction, and this touring season aims to move 60,000 cars across the continent, despite some western challenges.

Motorcar Is Boon to Farmer and Family

It saves farm and hired help time traveling to fields, hauls produce, moves machinery, and serves as a quick courier for repairs.
