IN HAT the Los Angeles automobile

Il in the United States has again re-
ceived renewed proof in the opening i'll
this city of a Pacific coast general
branch agency of the Firestone Tire
and Rubber company of Akron, O. This
agency has been placed in the hands Of
two of the companys most valued men,
both Of whom have been prominently
identified with the affairs Of the conf
pany since the establishment of it's
factory in Akron some seven years ago.
Frank r. Talbot, whose picture ap-

coast two weeks ago, was connected
with the headquarters of the Firestone
company as it's assistant treasurer and
stockholder. His transfer to this
coast is a recognition of his thorough
acquaintance with the tire which he
will push as well as of his ability TO
push it.

TOURIST SHOWS
STILL CONTINUE
GARAGES OF CONTIGUOUS
CITIES USED
DAILY ATTENDANCE REACHES
OVER A THOUSAND
Handsome Decorations and Music Play
Their Part in Creating an Atmos-
phere of Popular Public
Show

A manufacturers show on a
unique scale has been exploited by the
Auto Vehicle company, manufacturers
of the Tourist car, the past week, and
will be during the coming week by a
series of shows exhibiting exclusively
the cars of that concern throughout
adjacent cities.
AS announced in these columns a
week ago, the first show was opened at
Riverside a week ago Friday, which
ran until and including Tuesday of the
past week, during which not less than
1000 persons a day visited the show,
, and on one day the attendance exceed
ed 1900 The Riverside show was held
in the Glenwood garage, the local
agency of the Tourist car, and all re-
ports indicate that it was an unusual
success. The novel collection of the
1 flags of the nationS,' owned by Frank
A. Miller, the Tourist agent, were fes-
tooned about the walls and ceiling of
the garage in an attractive manner,
While many features of the recent Los
Angeles show, including partitioning
chains, column lights and other iIlumi-
nations, were employed to create the
real show effect.
The Y. M. c. A. band was in atten-
dance throughout the show, and the
Los Angeles show is said to have been
repeated on miniature scale. Experts
from the factory were in attendance
at the show, and a general invitation
was sent out to all owners Of Tourist
cars to bring their cars to the garage
to have them gone over gratis, in
order that they might be retuned and
placed in first class condition.
This general scheme was likewise fol-
lowed at Redlands the last two DAYS
of the past week. the show being held
in the Osbun garage, where two bands
were in attendance and where the
decorative ideas were likewise ampli-
fed.
The coming Tuesday and Wednesday
the show will be transferred to Po-
mona, in the garage of George H. Mil
Ter; while on Friday and Saturday the
snow Will be opened at Pasadena. in
the new garage of Ernest Kouwen-
Hoven, who has recently taken charge
Of the Tourist agency in that city, on
Fair Oaks avenue, opposite the Hotel
Green. The sans cars shown in the
Los Angeles show are being used in
this series of exhibits.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-14

entries remain open until the middle OF
the coming week. At that time all ell
trants must have deposited their en-
trance fees, with formal declarations OF
just what cars they intend to run, the
exact model etc, according to cata-
logue, and no changes will be allowed
after the closing of the lists.
Dealers Generally Satisfied
Nearly all of the dealers declare their
satisfaction with the rules and express
their intention to accept them in the
very best Of good faith, SO that the
public may have an acual line on the
climbing qualities of practically every
car on sale in Southern California.
Providing the course is in good con-
dition, it is confidently believed that
many records will fall, as the dealers
are grooming their cars as they have
never been groomed before, and express
sions of confidence, naturally, are to be
heard on every hand and at practically
every garage in the city.
The steam cars are admitted by many
dealers as quite likely to give the best
accounts of themselves, as it will be
possible for them to start from the tape
on steam which they may have pre-
Viously generated, and that the better
part of the course will have been COW
cred before these cars will be called
UPON ~ Iull Oll team 11Idu6 dIlGl IilS
starting line has been passed. Many
dealers look for these cars to get 9
tremendous start at the very crack OF
the starting gun, perhaps Of sufficient
advantage to give them the race, how
ever closely the cars may run along
with the gasoline cars during the latter
portion of the course.
The rules and regulations which viii
govern the race, as formally adopted
by the dealers association, are as fol
lows:
CoWan and Reuss Stay Out
AS the management of the hill clint
is in the hands of w. K. Cowan he
will not enter his Rambler cars in any
of the classes to which they are eligible
Last year there was considerable criti-
cism, most of which was undeserved
because the manager of the race hac
his own cars entered in some of the
events. To eliminate the possibility OF
unpleasant criticism this year the Ram
blers will forego their chance of win
ing in their class, as they have in the
two preceding years, and thus let the
other cars have a chance to carry of
the honors
On account of the way the Ramblers
are priced it allows them to compete
with cars Of much less horsepower and
speed, and this fact, in the opinion OF
Mr.. Cowan, gives them an excellent
chance for first place. The big cal
