Mankato will have an automobile
show March IL. ~ and l. I'm the
new Armory building. Local auto
dealers have had the project in
mind for some time and have worked
out a plan whereby they can see
their way to stage such an affair
on a strictly metropolitan scale. and
from now on these dealers will spare
neither time nor money to make
the show a success in every way.
and the indications are that this
city will have one of the handsom-
est auto shows to be found anywhere.
Big Business In kato.
Few people realize how much the
automobile business means to this
city as there is little question but
that there are more popular. medium
and low priced cars sold in Mankato
than any other city OF the same size
i'm the United States. For that rea-
son If no other the Mankato men
are in a position TO put on a show
which will because of the large num-
Der of different models Of the vari-
Gus makes of cars make wonder
fully complete and interesting dis
play.
The coming show will be open
every afternoon and evening. and
aside from the large number of exhi-
bits there will be musical programs
rendered by some OF the best enter
tanners obtainable. including some OF
Mankato's popular talent. The full
program will be announced later.
No Common Event.
An auto show in a city the size
uf Mankato is no common event and
there is absolutely no reason why
Mankato can not derive a good deal
of benefit from an exhibition OF this
kind as il will bring thousands OF
people here and il is excellent ad.
vertising any city can obtain. The
coming show will be advertised in
newspapers within the territory COW
cred by the local distributors.
