"Hi There Neighbor, Going My Way...
If You Like What You See,
And because it binds together all these wonders
It brings back to us the lank figure of the growing boy
a highway along whose everyday travel he had a gentle word for the sorrowing,
Rev. Frank G. Brainard
Therefore, Be it Resolved,
Not only is the Lincoln Highway a perpetual memorial,
The best minds in the country are "laying the foundation now"
"They are working today that the tourist of fifty and one hundred years from now
"The Lincoln Highway is to be something more than a road-

The Greatest Memorial
The Lincoln Highway
"It is a name to conjure by. It calls to the heroic.
It enrolls a mighty panorama of fields and woodlands;
of humble cabins and triumphant farm homes
and cattle on a thousand hills;
burrowing mines and smoking factories;
winding brooks, commerce laden rivers and horizon lost oceans.
and sweeps forward till it touches the end of the earth
and the beginning of the sea it is to be named the "Lincoln Highway".
walking the country roadway with borrowed books;
the dreaming out, surveying and building of his highway of the soul,
that should stretch from that mysterious ocean of the past, whence he came,
to the mysterious ocean of the eternal, to which he would go;
a hand for the one in trouble, a sharp prod for the indifferent,
a word of council for the perplexed, an inspiration for the doubtful, and love for all;
the highway of the soul of the "Great American".

The Lincoln Highway
"The Lincoln Highway will never be finished.
You and I will be able to drive over it from New York to San Francisco in 1915.
Perhaps ten years from now every mile will be of concrete,
but there will always be something more to do, some improvement to make.
but a road to be perpetuated by the energies of future generations.
We are only laying the foundations now."
for the beautification of the Lincoln Highway ..."
may cross the country over the most beautiful and inspiring roadway in the world."
It will be a road with personality, a distinctive work
of which the Americans of future generations can point with pride-
an economic but also artistic triumph."
