The Billboard 1906-04-28: Vol 18 Iss 17 (1906-04-28)

APRIL 28, 1906. The Billboard 31 — THE ACME OF MECHANICAL INGENUITY, No Flash Front, no Ballyhoo Needed. Every Patron a Booster. NOW READ THIS. THE CAR. Tim Hurst Auto Tours were first operated at Rockaway Beach last summer, and from their inception were a decided success and a big money-maker. The cars carry 60 people, are terrace-seated, so that every passenger has an unobstructed view; cooled by electric fans invisible to the occupants, and combine the acme of mechanical ingenuity with the perfection of simplicity. No jarring, no jolting, no bumping, no discordant noises—simply the correct combination of the vibratory ana gently oscillating motions of a highgrade touring car. A perfect illusion without an objectionable feature. Does not require a large space and can be installed anywhere for $400.00. THE FILMS. The films used by the Tim Hurst Auto Tours are positively the best of their kind in existence, having been made expressly for this company by the American Vitagraph Company, under the supervision of the inventor, and will be used only in connection with Tim Hurst Auto Tours. The films are the sole property of this company and it is absolutely impossible to procure the use of them except through us. THE TOURS. The tours of New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and San Francisco now ready,were arranged and pictures taken expressly for this company and embrace many locations and scenes never before attempted, including the most fashionable and exclusive avenues and boulevards of these cities, depicted in a startlingly realistic and highly artistic manner. Under the same conditions arrangements have been made by the company for tours of Dublin, London, Paris, Berlin and Rome, and the company will be in a p»sition in a very short time to furnish those “holding rights” with exclusive tours of all the great cities of the world.
