One lone little nickel is all it costs 10
make a trip to the big redwood forest
in Los Angeles. and there have been
times when you have spent many dol
lars to reach the redwood forests up
north, and yet did not see as much
with so little inconvenience, for we
know that the redwoods up there did
not have electric lighted avenues,
promenaded by men and women in
evening dress. And in lieu of the tip
you would give a guide, one of Uncle
Sans fo' bit pieces will let you within
the gates of this redwood park we
have in mind, and you can rambie
alone at will-all of this, mind you,
when Fiesta park is thrown open to
the Licensed Automobile Dealers great
show next Saturday.
Ingenious minds and many pairs OF
willing hands are rapidly getting things
in shape at the Pico amphitheater,
which is the largest show place ever
rooted over with canvas.
And how Is it among the exhibitors
| themselves? Well just stand for five
minutes alongside those directing gem
fuses, Messrs. Conwell, Anthony and
Bush and hear the number of ques-
tions asked and answered, while at
the same time each is busy giving or
ders to several hundred workmen, anG
you will appreciate somewhat OF the
undertaking of giving to Los Angeles
an auto show not eXcelled elsewhere
in the country. Everything is at fever
heat and, should you discern sudden
rise of temperature not down on the
weather mans chart, don't ask ques-
tions of him. for it will be only the
super charged atmosphere emanating
from sizzling phone and telegraph
wires, resulting from inquiries to
everywhere as to the location of va
rious carloads of automobiles en- route
| to Los Angeles to be placed among the
big shows exhibits.
Cars Arriving
Already cars are beginning to arrive
for the monster exhibit. Ralph Ham
lin unloaded a beautiful Franklin and
aulet yesterday, and his Franklin tor
pedo started on it's way from Chicago
in an express car. p. FL. Greer. who
has planned to exhibit full line of
Mitchell cars. received the discouraging
news yesterday that the train carry
ing his six-cylinder touring car had
not reached Kansas City. This means
that the star attraction of the Mitchell
display will not be here until a couple
of days after the opening.
The exhibit of closed cars will be enc
of the most attractive features of the
show. There will be many limousines
and a few coupes and town cars. The
Packard limousine will be shown and
Manager +. w. Flint Of the Stoddard-
DAYTON agency announces that he will
show two limOuSines, coupe and also
a closed Baker electric. There also
will be a Cadillac limousine, Columbus
coupe and several other large limou-
sines and landaulets.
| This show will be the most complete
| in every way the west has ever seen.
There will be cars in all sizes and mod
els and any taste can be satisfied. The
display of electrics also will be COM
plete.
Much Interest Shown
Interest in an automobile show was
never greater than at present Man
ager Conwell has been flooded with
inquiries from all sections of California
and there is every indication that the
out of town attendance will run into
the thousands.
DESPITE the lateness of the season,
there will be number of new models
shown Among these will be the new
| Everitt thirty and the little Flanders
The exhibit of the II. o. Harrison
company will have the Peerless in sew
eral styles. The Peerless limousine.
one of the most beautifully finished
| American cars, has already arrived.
| Manager II. Q. Harrison will be down
| from San Francisco the latter part of
| this week There promises to be
large attendance from San Francisco.
L. J. OlIier, the Pacific coast repre-
sentative of the EMF, will be here.
and John Mclean, the coast distributor
for the Franklin, is expected. Many
of the San Francisco dealers also VIII
be here for the show.
Work will start today on the en-
trance. The show will be entered on
the Pico street side. A walk will be
built with a canopy The box offices
have been put in. There will be ticket
windows on both sides of the lobby,
which will enable the thousands to
move in rapidly without delays.
Pullman Cup Exhibit
| The Pullman company has just re-
ceived a big shipment of cups which
| will be shown at the exhibition. Thls
collection contains trophies Won by
| Pullman cars on tracks In all sections
| of the country. The new seVen-passen-
ger Buick. which is to be part of the
| exhibit of the Howard Automobile COM
pany, has arrived.
The thousands of school children in
| Southern California are to have a
| chance to view the big automobile
show in Fiesta park next week. All
schools will be closed Tuesday, Feb
ruary %, and the committee of the
Licensed Motor Car Dealers associa-
tion decided yesterday to admit all
school children for 25 cents on that one
! afternoon. This will be possible, on ac-
count of the immense size of the in
| closure. The hours for the school chill
dren's matinee will be from noon to
! 6 o'clock in the evening.
There are no motor enthusiasts more
| interested in automobiles than the
small boy There are few boys who
cannot tell the name of any machine
seen on the street, and the mechanism
| of a car is thoroughly understood by
| nine boys out of ten. These will storm
| the big automobile show by thousands
| and the statesmen will be kept busy
answering questions.
The committee, which is composed
| of F. w. Flint jr., w. e. Bush. H. 1.
Fenimore, A. Young and p r. Greer,
meets daily. A long meeting was held
Yesterday afternoon and many details
of Importance were decided upon.
