The Billboard 1906-05-12: Vol 18 Iss 19 (1906-05-12)

_ MAY 12, 1906. The Billboard THE CAR. Tim Hurst Auto Tours were first 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 andgently 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 secure the use of them except threugh 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.
