Big Display Under One Roof

YeaEly the automobile shows have been
growing more interesting. This is due to
the fact that the public has become ''motor
wise" Instead of noticing only the bodies,
colors and equipment of cars, the visitors
to the shows now keenly inspect and dis
cuss the vital portions of the vehicles.
This years show will offer to visitors the
greatest collection of pleasure cars ever
seen together under one roof in Washing
ton. Never before has there been offered
so fine an opportunity to see such wide
range of automobiles as will be staged in
Convention Hall this week.
Many business man has said, "I'm
not enough of a mechanic to run an auto
mobile, and | can't afford to keep chauf-
feur or pay big garage bills to keep my car
in order" Six years ago such statement
would not have been so far amiss. But
the world has moved in six years and the
making of automobiles has shown more
progress than in nearly anything else.
What is the value of automobile
shows9 For several years past the public
has been confronted with this question at
this time of the year. Needless to say, one
glance over the long list of shows to be held
throughout the country for the next two or
three months is sufficient to convince the
most skeptical there is some big benefit
Reasons for Success
A salesman in a popular Fourteenth
street automobile showroom was showing
the various new models of his car to a
prospective buyer recently, when suddenly
the wouId-be buyer turned to the agent and
in a quizzing tone asked: care you 60
ing to be at the automobile show?"
The agent replied, 'sUndor btedly,
yes" . .....,
"Tell me, have never attended one
of those automobile shows; what do all the
dealers and thousands of spectators do
there7" said the inquisitive buyer.
Seeing that his customer was in all

Former Shows Outclassed

Convention Hall contains many thou
sands of square feet of space. In this large
area will be featured almost ever known
type of automobile from the little electric
runabouts and racy little roadsters to the
luxurious limousines. The latest ideas in
accessories and supplies of every character
will also be seen in great array. From an
artistic viewpoint the display this year will
be so much improved over that of previous
shows that, in spite of the fact that former
shows we're considered finished products,
they will really seem amateurish in COM
parison.
Working on the principle that it does
not pay to do things by halves, the COM
mittee has set about to bring into being an
exhibition that will combine the artistic
and scientific The signs indicating the
many exhibits will be ornate and in keeping
with the general decorative scheme, uni
formity being the keynote. The aisles will
be wide, thus giving additional attractive
ness to the show as whole, and a better
view of the exhibits to visitors. Haley's
Orchestra will be in attendance every after
noon and evening of the show and will give
attractive programs.
Social features will be inaugurated in
an effort to contribute to the entertainment
of visitors. An especially attractive fea-
ture will be "Society Day." at which time

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
evening Grain Letter.

Wheat: There was a fairly large
trade Ia wheat to-day and market aft
er opening easier, later scored sharp
advance on good buying by local
traders and shorts on the strength IN
the cash wheat market, not only here
but in the southwest. Kansas City
reported their market strong unchang-
ed to / cent higher with both miilers
and shippers buying. While we do not
hook for very much action In the mar
ket right away, still we believe that
prices will sell materially higher lat
er on. We are inclined to think that
the winter wheat farmers sold liber-
ally. fearing the effect OF the reciproct-
Nv treaty and now that 1t has been
defeated they are likely to hold on
10 what little wheat they have left.
besides -four stocks are small and
dealers will be compelled to purchase
