was true, that he had already posted
guards on each side the house, then

there could be no better time for such

Dealers are jubilsnt over the sales that
have already been made. the prospects
that have been discovered and the hun.
dreds Of prospective customers who have
either already arrived In town or are on
their way. Omaha yesterday was fairly
alive with dealers from all over Ne

every one of them having with him one or
more prospective purchasers. one dealer
from a little Nebraska town secured
twenty-four tickets Of admission yester-
day, indicating that he had brought
twenty-four persons TO the city who are
in the market for motor cars.
Tonight will be society night at the
show and the social feature promises TO
be even more brilliant than that OF society
night last year. when omaha's social
elite were out in force and the young
buds of the city and stately matrons
graced the interiors Of the polished ex-
hibit cars with their presence. Exhibitors
will all be in evening dress tonight and

they do so.

Much admiration is expressed by show
goers for the way the Auditorium Is
