sort Of statement Is rot a new one with
respect to annual Shows" they are in
earnest and quite sincere. The prospects
for tho show are, In fact, altogether
roseatc.
Interviews with a number of dealers who
will exhibit 1910 models reveal a single
minded purpose, to forget any jealousies
If there are any-and to pull together
with a long pull and a hard pun for the
success Of the exposition.
1t is conventional to say this years
show is going to be the biggest and best
ever d" said Denise Barkalow, 'and the
statement does not therefore carry much
conviction. Trite II may be to say this.
but in the present Instance 1t is unques-
tionably true and must be asserted even
sf the risk OF seeming commonplace. In
Ncommon with other Omaha dealers shall
show a full line, including the Rauch-

The show is a good thing
for Omaha and, Of course, for the Dealers"

good thing for everybody-public, dealers

tionably sells cars for the dealer, and,
the purchaser is given a chance to look
around before he settles on a car. Not, Of

Of course, the least, the dealer. There il
every reason to believe that there will be
more cars and better ones shown this time

with respect to automobile accessories. The
field of the latter is broadening at a Won
derful rate and has become almost a sep
arate business from the selling OF cars"
