MANY STATES
Represented In Wheeling BY Cars
From Dozens % the Largest

Mention has been made before IN
this section Of The many cars during
the past summer from various states
that have been IN Wheeling in one
weeks period. But during the fair an
unusual number of autos from vari-
Gus commonwealth were in ting city.
1T was observed that there were

TOURING CARS
Surprising Number OF Bio Cars
Owned by Wheeling People
Parked at the Races.

Are there many touring automo-
oiles in Wheeling? The layman would
never have thought that there are as
many such type OF cars in this com
munity II he had not attended the
big West Virginia State fair this
week. and had a look at the Wheel.
ing tags on 30 per cent. OF the cars
parked at the races.
An Intelligencer man on Thursday
had look and he found that more
than 400 OF the 500 cars parked were
touring autos bearing wheeling city
license.
The point is: That the ordinary
pedestrian or observer daily sees so
many OF the smaller cars running
about the city that he naturally was
under the impression that there were
comparatively few Of the touring cars
here.
II was shown that fully 60 per cent
OF the people Of this city who own
smaller cars are also possessors OF
larger autos. This is the nrst wear
that the per cent. has been so hieb.
vi course. the owner Of two kinds or
automobiles used his biggest and best
car In going 10 the fair.
