Mr.. Fredrickson upon his wonderful accom-

Yours very truly, A. B. HANCE
Success of show seems Certain.
The air ship has been inflated and found
perfect and new machines are arriving
by the car load lots for the show which In
sures a gigantic success All the commit
tees have been hustling for the last two
weeks and the result is that all is in
readiness for the best show ever held in the
west 49,. ~
Automobiles OF all the most modern types
will be shown TO their best advantage and
dealers from all over the state as well a.
prospective buyers will be given an oppor'
tunity to see and inspect for four entire
days and nights. The Auditorium hai
proved itself a most ideal place for holding
such shows and the space has been al
lotted that the dealers might prepare theil
exhibits ahead. "A uniformity in the spaces
will be observed that win give the plac'
a striking appearance as soon as the spec
tator enters.
An effort has been made to provide en-.
teTtainment as well as automobile educa'

moneys worth. even though they have nc
idea OF buying a machine. The stage will
be utilized for giving moving pictures o
all sorts OF automobile topics including pic
lures of the Vanderbilt cup races and thu
races at OrmOnd beach, where machines
were sent at the rate OF nearly two miles
per minute.
