Real Work Begins.
With the machines all in the building
| the real work of the show began. Hun
| dreds OF Workmen were at once scattered
| over the floor, cleaning the cars, adding
/ finishing touches here and there, and ar
| ranging the whole under the direction OF
| the various dealers present.
| Manager Bill Rishel was a busy man
during the afternoon, answering tele-
! phone calls, inquiries and giving sugges-
! tons here and there as to the arrange
| ments of the various booths. Telephones
| were installed in all the booths and their
! usefulness was evidenced by the hurry-up
! calls sent to the garages for paint, shin
! ing material and various other incidentals
/ needed at the last moment.
! Within one hour after the last car en-
| tered the building, everything was in
! readiness for the opening. After the word
was given by George Mack. the last
| touch for the decorations began, and
| within fifteen minutes the automobiles
and ferns.
! To the right of the entrance the Taxi
/ cab COmpdny's display is attractive with
| its outlay of taxicabs and Cartercars
| One Of the features of this outlay is the
| stripped body of one Of the cars, show
/ ing clearly the workings Of the mechan-
ism.
Next comes the booth filled with Cadil-
| laos, Packards and Detroit Electrics, and
| L, A. Bartlett always on the jump tC
/
| sold by the Utah Motor Car company
Here, too, a stripped body is shown with
the inner workings Of the Packard.
| Frank BOtterill. as manager of the Tom
| BOtteril Auto company, has worked night
and day for the success of the show. and
! especially for the success of the display
! of his company's cars. In this booth g
| wide range Of the price Of the cars shown
| Arrow, with its big Tacy lines and power
| full engines, selling at $500, the differ
| ences in prices are as many as there are
| cars, down to the Hudson Roadster, sell
ing at sl,10o.
Scarlet is Popular.
The Standard Six with the members OF
| the firm, Evans, Hewes & Evans, al
presented to the public. A big, bright red
/ machine here seems to be all that could
be desired in an automobile.
| Sam Sharman, by careful management
mobiles in the limited space allotted than
! any of the other dealers. He has his
| REQ hiddO' tucked up on the wall in
/ back of his enormous display. a big
| bTOyn StOddaTd-Dayton, finished in mo-
! rocco leather, is conceded by all to be
| the prettiest car in the show. Last night
/ il was the faVOrite with the women, and
| at all times ShaTman could be seen sur
| rounded by a crowd of women, explaining
why the Stoddard-Dayton lis the best
| and only car made in America"
/ Frank Irving's flying machine was one
Of the features Of the whole show. Crowds
! examined the delicate workings OF the big
/ air-bOat, and Mr.. Irving found 1t diff
| ficult to distract their attention from the
airship to the big American Travellers on
| display.
From the technical standpoint OF the
| exhibits, the stripped engine from one of
| the Franklin air-cooled cars shown by
| the Consolidated Wagon & Machine COM
pany, clearly attracted more attention
| than any other one thing shown. The en-
! CINE was especially built for the show,
| The cylinders were cut in sections, and
/ the mysteries of the inner workings of
| the big machine were mysteries no longer,
| after being explained by S. B. Young,
| sales manager for the company.
Thomash Makes a Hlt.
With wonderment and awe the crowds
| viewed the big Thomas around the
| world car" shown in the Randall-Dodd
| car to be seen in Salt Lake. Jack De
| Camp was busy all night telling the story
/ of the famous trip to the eager, listening
! crowd. The New York to Paris car was
| late in arriving. but It's presence at last
| added greatly to the auto show.
! Perfection In elegance, workmanship
/ and art in the making Of an auto are all
/ combined in the big Studebaker launda-
/ let. The car is monster, and represents
| all that Is wanted for speed, comfort and
| appearance. Electric lights are to be
/ found throughout the spacious interior OF
/ the big machine. Cushions and drapings
| in the interior make the appearance of
| luxury. Nothing seems to have been for
| gotten by the makers of this car, even
| toilet articles, such as mirrors, combs and
| brushes, with a vase Of flowers, arc
/ of the Studebaker line. s. d. Reed
/ sales manager, made claims last night
| that this car is the best of its kind to
/ be seen west Of Chicago.
Wnton Six Monster.
So big is the Winton Six. displayed by
| Carl Horst, that IA takes up the whole
| space of his booth. 1t is a handsome
/ dark red machine, equipped completely:
1t is recognized as the standard type of
! the show. Nothing freaky Is to be seen
| in its makeup or mechanism.
| Joseph Finigan, a representative from
| the Chadwick factory, was loud last night
/ in his declarations that the Chadwick was
| the fastest stock car In the world" III
you don't believe it, come over to the
| Raymond-Bracken companys place OF
| business, and I'll show YOU" he said
| Those knowing his ability as a driver
! and fast one, refused the invitation,

| entire week of the show. l.. NJ. Ray
/ mond president of the dealers associa-
| ton, said last night that anticipations for
the success of the show were fully realized
/ by the indications shown in the thousands

! because there is not a member of the
| association but has worked night and
day to make it so. This. as the first and
