jeCt Of ChauHeurS and passengers. Ihere Is
certainly nothing the occupant Of an auto
mobile could coniure up as being even
possibly necessary that has not already
been manufactured for him. And this also
applies to her as well-and possibly more
so.
But under the topic Of accessories, numer-
Gus as were the articles shown and wide
as was their range there were still some
important accessories" which motormen
have often, all too often, come to require.
The show is now over, 1t was a success.
Undoubtedly there are some things
which the automobile salesman should
endeavor to keep as far from the MIND
of his customer as possible, which sun
belong to tho business. But the enterprise
of the advertising man who sold the space
in the program of the show must have
come near spelling things for the sales
man, for he had notices of firms dealing
in both artificial limbs.
However. he went stlll farther in the
"side line" business. and it was quite APP
propriate that he should induce firm
which manufactures a. cooling beverage for
the weary motOrer out on the hot and
dusty road. in prohibition district to buy
space I'm which to remind the reader OF
his wares. And the same might be said
regarding the firm of cleaners which takes
the grease spots out Of the drivers clothes
after he has spent an hour under the
machine fixing it so it viii go another mile.
Also in this mention should be added the
banking firm which offers to hold the
money the motorist has not yet spent on
his car.
All these things are accessories TO the
automobile business and had their display
either on the floor Of the Auditorium at
the show or in the official program.
The mention OF the words automobile
show" or even the first of the two words
alone, brings to the mind of most persons
the smell of burned gasoline, the "chug'
of motors and the "honk" of horns. But

lines obliterated before the wonder Of the
mighty automobile.
The show was confined principally to
pleasure Notwithstanding cars, runabouts,
road and depot wagons. cabs and phae-
tons-no attempt being made to display
business wagons to any extent. A delivery
wagon already sold was shown inConspicu-
pusly but that was all. Automobile bust
ness vehicles are not as salable in Omaha
as cars for pleasure purposes, and this was
purely business proposition and there was
no space to be wasted. A large portion of
the attendance was women, any way, and
they would have no interest in trucks to
haul freight.
Above all, the snow afforded an oppor-
tunity for noting the progress Of improve
ments in automobiles, and the tendencies
In manufacture. In general appearance,
cars have changed little for years. Efforts
seem to have been directed toward securing
greater power, greater speed, less noise,
less inconvenience, and less cost. In each
direction there has been progress. While
the demand for machines Is still equal to
the ability of the manufacturers to pro-
duce them, there has been keen rivalry
for honors and every change that might
give one car an advantage over its COM
petitors has been added to its list of quail
ties.
And automobiles are cheaper. The same
may be said of appliances and supplies.
While neither is yet within the reach of
the average citizen, as is a horse and
buggy, the stride toward lower prices is
noticeable.
Allied with the business of manufacture
ing automobiles, is the building Of motor
boats and motorcycles These had their
proper representation at the show-neither
one extensive, but proper for the field. The
same machinery which can make an auto
mobile go at the rate of an express train
has been applied TO boats with exciting
and interesting results. Motor boats, how
ever, that bear the same relation to water
craft that sixty horse power touring cai
does to land vehicles would be Of small
value in this part OF the world except for
exhibition purposes and as this was a
local dealers show only, there was none
to be placed on display.
Only one motor boat appeared in the ar
ray of exhibits, with two or three canoes
but these received a share of attention
from the visitors that indicated interest
was not centered in the big "chug" wagons
alone.
An important department in the exhi'
billions was that of the numerous accessOr'
les From the wares displayed it appeared
as though, tired of trying to figure Out
something new for the machines them
selves, the inventors turned to the sub

which does not respond with quickeninE
beats to the splendid, almost perfect, and
almost noiseless pulsations of the modern
automobile mechanism. 1t does not re-
quire an engineer TO be able to admire the
work someone has done in developing such
wonders of machinery.
It Is this which proves the drawing card
with the masses. As the stately locomo-
tive Of the modern type is gazed upon in
wonder and amazement, so the automobiles
at the show, fresh from the factories, are
almost as much a source of interest to the
person unable to buy as to the one who
is, because of the magnifcence Of its crea-
ton. And no less intricate, though on a
much smaller and more compact scale, is
the automobile than the locomotive. And
that Is one OF the features which make it's
mechanism really beautiful to watch as it
is put in motion.
So the question of patronage for an ex-
hibition of automobiles in Omaha never
became factor after the first show held
last year. The 1906 display was little more
than an experiment" as compared with
its successor, for nearly two times as many
machines were on exhibition this year as
on the previous occasion.
The Omaha event was purely for BUSH
ness purposes. 1t was conceived in order
to awaken interest in horseless vehicles
pot only in Omaha, but in the territory
which, by the grace Of the manufacturers
or western managers, has been clipped of
to be tributary to this city; and also to
provide opportunity for persons ION the
fence" in the matter Of selecting ma
chine or buying to act.
The show was arranged by the Omaha
Automobile Dealers association and the
Auditorium company The officers of the
former are Clarke G. Powell, president,
and ]. Clarke Colt, secretary and treas
urer BY the rules of the arrangements
made by automobile manufacturers the
only exhibitors at the Omaha show could
be Omaha dealers. The factories them
selves could maintain displays direct.
