Hamburger's Store VIII Probably Be
Location of Greatest Affair
of Its Kind in the
West

Los Angeles is to have an automobile snow
upon plans and specifications such as this city
has never known before. Arrangements were
initiated last night at meeting Of the Au-
tomobile Dealers association handling licensed
cars under the protection of the Selden pat
ents for not only the. largest, but tine most
artistic and generous display or the latesI
models of automobiles ever seen west OF chi
cago. ,tN
With the enthusiasm and energy for which
the dealers of Los Angeles are noted' very
large meeting was held last night and the
first proposal of the organization was that
Los Angeles should have an automophe SNOW
which would compare more tnan taVoraply
with any that has ever been given ia Inc
larger eastern cities.
The date for the show will be from Feoru-
ary 10 to 26 inclusive, Sunday excepted ana
1t is probable that the place of the exhlpltlon
will be in the Hamburger stores on the Iourtn URN
hoor-an ideal place for convenience as Wen
as handsome quarters. There Will be 4OOOo
square feet of room, and 1t Is already as
sured that the enormous floor space or TINS
handsome building will scarcely care tor the
applications for space. The deal Tor tnls eA-
hibition place will probably be concluded Dy
this morning, but the committee mas antlcl-
pated any delay in securing these quarters ny
another arrangement which will be fully as
ample and complete as though the hamburger
space had been secured. The main point
about Hamburgers however, Is the central
and well-known location OF the DIG s'Ule,
in the city of Los Angeles, for there are put
few people in Southern California who are
unaware of Hamburgers, the Wanamakers OF
California.
MANAGER to Be Appointed
At the meeting last night, while all the
preliminaries of the biggest automobile dis
play ever seen on the Pacific coast were not
concluded. among which was the selection Of
the general manager of the show the ap-
pointment will be made within very rev
days and it may be deemed sure that ne VIII
be OF the "hct number series. A man, well
in mind is before the directors, esteemed LOT
his genial personality and his exceptional ex-
ecutive ability, and to him Will be entrusted
all of the details of the greatest automobile
show the people OF Caitornla nave ever seoh'
without any exceptions.
There will be at least forty-four exhibitors
and these forty-four have promised that each
of the companies will have the largest display
of models ever seen under one rooI mere Inc
cars to be shown are all of the licensed class
that is-they come under the protectlon OF the
Selden patents, anu what Will please the pup
lie most will be the fact that such cars as
the Peerless and Wilton and ChadWicks anu
Seldens and Everetts will be seen only at thls
great exposition of the latest designs OF au-
tomobiles quite as attractive in proportion as
even the great show now on IN New YORK
These together with all the ether cars to be
seen at this exhibition, will be seen at no
other show in Los Angeles, and the Herald
will give tomorrow full list of the lines OF
cars that will be shown.
The enthusiasm with which the members Of
the licensed dealers entered into the purposes
of the association last night indicates what
may be expected when the automobile show
opens Each of the members individually feel
that the year 1910 is to be the greatest year
in the automobile industry.
Autos at Aviation Meet
| One need but attend the aviation meet this
| week to discover the extent of the use Of the
automobile in this city, and with the most
promising year for the trade yet known, and
the promised assistance of the greatest fac
tories in the world to foster and aid the deal
ers here in their exhibit, all past shows will
be simply insignificant in either extent of 1t
as a whole, and the variety of the models
which each of the several agents will display.
Already the telegraph wires from this city
are ticking heavily the messages to manufac-
turers for lines of models such e. being
shown this week at the big New York show,
and when the doors open for the Los Angeles
exhibition there will be a revelation in what
the automobile of 1910 is.
Tomorrow the Herald will live a complete
and full list of all the which are to be
given a representation. and when this is
shown the public will have some general idea
of what is to be expected from the Licensed
