BIG AUTO PARADE
IS IN PROSPECT
Retail Dealers Association Also
+ Talking Of the Hill Climb
ing Contest.

One thousand automobiles in parade on June
/ is the plan of the newly organized Retail
Automobile Dealers association. The associa-
ton has been discussing the proposal since its
organiza tion and feels sufficiently sure of
enthusiastic cooperation by owners of cars to
be made to completely eclipse the parade of
last year and set standard for the parade
to be given July 10 in honor Of the Chicago
visitors. -I. T.. ...
Prizes will probably be given for the most
deliberately decorated cars Of the different class
es AS soon as the first plans completed
discussion will be taken up to devise some
unique entertainment to finish up the day.
The date of the annual hill-climbing contest
will not be decided upon until the election of
officers on May Is by the Minneapolis Automobile
club. 1t is thought that the contest will be
more, interesting and conclusive If the Retail
Dealers association and the Minneapolis Auto
mobile club cooperate for the event. Last year
there was some dissatisfaction in the dividing
of the cars into classes. If possible the classes
will be more distinct this year, and horse
power will be taken into consideration well
as price. Last year there three classes.
This year with the horsepower of the cars
ranging from eight to sixty. 1T is likely that
the number of classes will be increased. The
sidered. The contest will begin on time, and
each car will be designated.
1t is expected that the deliveries Of cars for
the first three days of next week will break
all records. Many of the ordered In the
early spring were subject to delivery on or
before May 10. The Barclay company. the
