Prescott's Big Annual Portland Auto
Show

Regardless of the high price of gas
oliue and the fearsome talk of the
same soaring higher and still more
high the motor car manufacturers are
still turning out cars, and cars, and
cars, and still more cars. and Manager
Frederick NJ. Prescott is going to give
his big annual automobile show in
Portland this year. just the same, only
bigger and better and more diversified
and attractive than Sver Mr. Rookie
feller's price of oil boost hasn't caused
even little bit of jar in the show
business. The place is City Hall, week
of Feb. L.
People in Maine who are interested
in automobiles know Mr.. Prescott.
They have known him or known of
him for years as the man who runs
the automobile exposition in Portland
every year; and he runs one in Ban
gor, too, sometimes. He did last year
and it was a thrashing success. When
it was noised about that the Armory
auditorium could not be secured again
for an auto show. Mr.. Prescott having
exhibited there for many years, it was
feared by some that he would not try
to run show in Portland this year
This fear was based on the SUPPOSE
ton that the City Council would not
wish to allow an automobile show in
the City Hall auditorium; but it was
groundless fear, for Mr.. Prescott has
succeeded in securing a lease of the
City Hall auditorium for the dates
from Feb. Is to Feb. 90 inclusive. and
he proposes to give Portland such a
show as will be in keeping with the
new surroundings. The great hall
with its fine balconies will be decorat-
ed by expert hands and converted into
fairy land of beauty, with lights and
streamers, and flags, and cars of
course.
This show will introduce to Portland
and Maine several new features in
motor ears, the newest products of
manufacturers who have never before
placed their machines in Maine
show. The exhibits will embrace all
that is new and interesting in motor
dom; passenger cars from the most
palatial limousnes to the tinest run
abouts; from small parcel delivery
wagons to monster commercial trucks
also everything novel and useful in
the way of accessories. No person who
is interested in automobiles can stay
away from this show without missing
something of value. Arrangements
have been made for special entertain
ing features. Advertisement.
