The Six Stages of Development in Transcontinental Highway Work—Old Spanish Trail Now in the Second Stage HEADQUARTERS! SAH ANTQN1CX TEX From an address by Harral B. Ayres, Managing Director, Before Rotary at New Orleans, July, 1924 Few people realize the magnitude of the task of creating and constructing a transcontinental highway. Few highway associations live thru the discouragements of the work. One highway association lives because a group of millionaires are its directors. The Old Spanish Trail organization lives because there is an increasing number of dauntless men and women who are fightng their way thru the greatest series of obstacles that ever confronted a transcontinental highway project—it must cross bays, marshes, rivers, deserts, mountains and plains in its reach across the continent.
