Ak-sar- Ben festival season and many will
come TO make merry at the festival and
take in the auto exposition at the same
time
whether one buys a car or not, the
exposition affords an excellent oppor-
tunity for shopping and hundreds are ex-
pected TO look AZ the cars who will buy
later in the season. II takes time 20 study
the improvements in the new models and
compare the advantages Of the various
makes, and the prospective buyer who
spends a few hours in the garages this
week, II he does not buy now will be
better prepared 10 make an intelligent
selection when he comes 10 the mid Win
ter show.
