SELF-STARTER A FEATURE
Omaha Automobile Show to Have All
the Latest Novelties.
ATTENDANCE Is TO BE LARGE
Signify Their Intention of Visit
iting the Omaha Exhibition
of 1919 Machines,

That the seventh annual show OF the
Omaha Automobile association, which
will open on February - and continue
one week, will be one OF the most re-
msrksble exhibitions ever witnessed in
Omaha is the general opinion of the deal
ers along the row. While it has the ele-
ments Of commercial proposition. the
show will not be conducted for profit,
but for its educational and entertaining
characteristics and for the stimulating
influence 1t will have upon the auto
mobile industry In the western territory.
By the opening date the spaeious
Auditorium will have been transformed
into place Of beauty. The magnificent
decorations with the splendid exhibits,
the dazzling bodies Of the cars. the mil
lion glittering electric lights, will, without
doubt, court the attention OF the visi-
tors, whether they be dealers, car owners
or merely DESTROYS to see what may be
shown. The show will be bigger, more
elaborate and better than any previous
effort Of the association along this line
II will equal in magnitude any show held
in this country outside Of the large east
ern cities. A large majority of the ex-
hibits shown at the national shows will
be brought to Omaha.
Attendance to Be Large.
Indication point to a larger attendance
this year than ever before. There are
more people interested in automobiles
than ever before. There are many pros
pecttys buyers who want TO see the
latest models Of cars and hundreds of
deAlerk not alone in Omaha but out
through the territories, have said they
are coming because Omaha will have
the goods this year to satisfy the de-
mand. There will be lsS types of cars at
the show. This Is more than ever placed
on display in any previous show.
There will be oil kinds OF cars and for
every purpose For the prospective buyer
there will be cars that will suit his taste
as well ss his pocketbook. There will be
automobiles from $50 up to $4,000.
All the latest appliances will be shown.
One Of the new devices that has never
bean shown at the shows is the self
starter Although this is still in Its
infancy II will In the course Of a few
years be q great success. Many cars are
using this device. There is no kicking
Iof the stsrtns crank and breaking OF
larms when this self-starter is used. All
the driver has to do is sit in his seat,
press q lever and the engine Is in motion.
Many dealers along the row have re-
ceived chassis for the show. These will
be on display In their salesrooms until
few days before the show when they will
be taken to the Auditorium. A COM
plets display Of accessories will be
shown on the stage of the Auditorium.
The basement WIN be devoted to the COM
mercial trucks and vehicles.
