REAL AMUSEMENT
Planned by Auto Men to Spring
on Show Visitors Week of
March 8.

Not all of the opening week of the
Indianapolis Automobile Trade Asso-
citation will be devoted to business.
The directors of the opening week,
believing that visitors to Indianapolis
shall be given entertainment, are ar
ranging some things which will feat
ure the doings of the week.
Dealers too are thinking of means
of entertainment which will be staged
in their own salesrooms, which will
be beautified and decorated for the
occasion.
The dates Of the opening week will
be March 8-13. There will be on dis
play every automobile feature shown
at the big displays. Nearly-but not
every car shown at New York and
Chicago will be displayed here. Each
dealer will be able to show his full
line.
Although the idea of making an
nual charges in models are exhibit
ing the new automobiles for the first
time at the automobile shows is grad
ually dying out, there are naturally
many innovations which are intro
duced to the public at these exhibit
tions.
