NUMEROUS SALES
RECORDEDAT SHOW
Week Has Been a Humme;
For All the Automobile
Dealers.
RIVALRY AMONG statesmen
EVERYONE is ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER SUCCESS OF EXHIBITION

It was estimated that there were over
800 people from Idaho as visitors to the
auto show yesterday and nearly that
many from other states helped in max
ing the day one of the biggest from the
standpoint of attendance, since the open
ing Of the exhibition.
One fact about the visitors from Out-of-
town that pleases the dealers is that most
of them are in the city on business, and
have made the trip especially to buy a
machine. out of the fifty or more cars
that have been shown during the week,
there are not ten that will be left to be
returned to the store rooms of the VarI-
Gus automobile concerns in the city.
OF the eight cars that are to be seen
in the Randall-DOdd booth, none will re
main after the show. The last one,
Buick, was sold late yesterday after
noon. 1T IS a shame to say how many
cars we have sold during the week said
Sales Manager De Camp. 1T Is enough
TO state that we are more than satisfied.
Our last car on exhibition was sold this
afternoon. That makes the last of the
Bucks that we can possibly get from the
factory. Our allotment was 81. Until to
day 81 of these We're sold and this last
sale completes the lot"
Just a few more of the Nelies being
shown In the display by the Consolidated
Wagon q Machine company are left Dur
ing the week OF the show ten OF these
have been sold and according to 5. B.
that number will be increased many times
II the prospective purchases materialize.
Going by Wholesale.
I'VE have been selling machines by the
wholesale" he said. 'Franklins have
been in great demand and during one
afternoon five Of these cars were sold.
Two hours after the show opened a con-
tract for the sale Of a Velie was signed
and within an hour after that another
was added to the list. The OVerlands have
been going like hot cakes and before
long our entire allotment for 1910 of all
the cars handled by this company viii
be placed in the city"
Salt Lake people have established
something new in the way of automobile
shows" said Mr.. Halter, representative
of the Nelie factory. In the east and
at all of the other shows ! have attended,
a sale during the first part of the week
was seldom recorded. People seemed TO
be content to come during the first of
the week simply TO view the machines and
then, toward the last few days, make
their purchases. In this show, l believe,
more machines were sold during the first
two days than in any other show in the
country. / will venture to say that even
in New York and Chicago the sales dur
ing the first part of the show week would
not compare in number TO this show
Sam Sharman has the reputation of be-
ing the most selfish man I'm the city
when it comes to selling automobiles. He
wants to sell them all and seems to be
never satisfied. However. by his own
statements made yesterday, he comes
nearer being satisfied with his sale of
cars during the week than he has ever
been before since he entered the business.
1T will keep me busy during the rest
of the year to fill the orders I have taken
at the show" ne said. 4 have sold more
