est in the big auto show, which IS
scheduled for Minneapolis on Feb
uary 10 to 26. This show promises
to be one of the very best shows of
the kind ever held in the United
States; and Bemidji autoists believe
they can learn much of practical
value concerning autos, by attending
the show.
The following circular has been
issued concerning the show:
Minneapolis is to have an auto
show February 10 to rs inclusive,
and if the very formidable start
that has been made toward perfect
ing the arrangements is fair
index it is to be one of the most
spectacular events, besides serving
as a model school of instruction
for the thousands in the northwest
who are interested in the auto tech
MICS of the new 1910 makes, that has
ever been held in connection with
exhibitions of this nature in the
twin cities.
The spacious floors of the Ma
tional Guard Armory will be utilized
for the show and it is estimated that
there will be on exhibition models of
cars of the 1910 patterns numbering
upwards of 200.
This great show has the sanction
and is receiving the support of the
Minneapolis Automobile Club, which
in itself is a sufficient guarantee
that the event will be something far
removed from the ordinary. Walter
Wilmot, who had charge of the big
exhibit at the state fair this year,
will again manage this exhibit. He
is already actively at work lining up
attractions for the show, which will
be side features for the amusement
of the visitors. The general idea of
this feature is elaborate. There will
be vaudeville acts, miniature cir
cuses, performing animals and doz-
ems of other features along this line.
Plans for the decorative features of
the big show are being made and it
is proposed to make this feature one
of the biggest of the show. Especi-
ally will this be true of the electrical
effectsat pjght- wM}ta illliipnsnd WITH Witt:
out, which will blaze the way for
thousands who will 20 to the Armory
during the week.
Space for the various automobile
dealers Of the Twin cities was
allotted few days ago and at the
drawing the scene was typical of
real life-sized land drawing. From
this drawing the wise-acres of the
automobile trade have deduced the
fact that one of the most complete
displays of motor vehicles of every
description ever made in the West is
assured.
Manager Wilmot announces this
week that negotiations have been
opened with Wright Bros, famous
avjators, for the exhibition of their
latest type of aeroplane. Mr.. Will
not says that he is practically GER
tain to secure this added attraction |
for the big show.
This great show, while intended |
to amuse, is primarily calculated
to serve as an excellent means for
motor enthusiasts of the Northwest
to acquaint themselves with the new
things in the automobile line for
1910. AS evidence of the manner
in which the show is attracting at
tention the committee in charge an
nounce that inquiries for space have
been received from at least a dozen
of the larger automobile accessory
houses in all the large cities of the
country. Chicago enthusiasts have
already shown spirit of co-opera-
ton, and, no doubt, the local man
agement of the big event will re-
ceive valuable assistance from this
source. They have done things in
Chicago in this line and the aid
from there will prove of great value"
