But we are no more proud of giving you

George Rein Says
Show Just Closed
Best for ALI Time

George f. REIN Of the Cadillac company
OF Omaha, speaking OF, the automobile
show lust ended, says:
There can be no doubt of the real
value of an automobile show. There are
several sides TO consider. First. that OF
the great good TO the community. Dur
ing the week OF the show. It Is safe TO
say that from $1,000 TO 100000 people come
to Omaha IL each one of the $1,000 people
spend but $40, It means a half million OF
dollars are distributed among the local
merchants and hotels. Then II ia safe
to say that as much more Ia spent for
automobiles, a percentage OF which re-
mains in Omaha, among those interested
In automobiles.
THE educational side must not be over
looked. Years ago the Cadillac Motor
Car company saw the great Importance
OF educating the public in the mechanical
construction OF an automobile"
Mr.. REIN adds that the purchasers OF
automobiles in Omaha and the surround
ing country are exceptionally motor-wiae.
They do not rush in and hastily scan
over the cars on the outside and place
an order. because a car has an electric
starter or horn or bumper or something
OF that sort. But they look into the
more vital parts OF the mechanisms. en-
duire into the quality Of steels and the
power and gasoline and oil consumption.
From the number OF orders placed for
Cadillac cars In the last few days OF the
show there can be no doubt OF the de-
clsion arrived at by the careful and well
informed purchasers.
This show win go down in the annals
Of the Cadillac company OF Omaha as
the best ever held.
