CAPITAL CITY SHOW
HAS MANY MODELS
Variety of Cars Attract Many
People on the Opening Night
of the Show

With festoons of American flags sus-
pended from the ceiling and the walls
draped with the gay national Colors to
harmonize with the ceiling effect and
a brilliancy of light that was reflect
ed on the shining new models, the
show of the Capital City Motor DeSl-
ers' Association opened Saturday even
ing at kelker Street Hall with an at
tendance that was considered good
for the first night with all the diverse
attractions usual downtown on a Sat
urday evening. There were several
exhibits that had not been placed be-
cause they did not arrive in time but
to the public in general the show
had seemed complete in every respect.
Other attractions came in to-day from
shows in other cities and will be placed
this evening.
a souvenir is given to each lady ut
the door in the form of a neat little
vanity bag, and a new Ford roadster
is exhibited as the door prize.
The Buick. one of the standard
popular-priced cars, always a feature
at local shows, continues to hold pub
lie attention. The newly designed
bodies, with the radiators rounded at
the top, the sloping hoods and the
general Improvement in appearance,
make the 43uick more attractive than
ever. Three Buick models are on dis
play in the space of Hottenstein <
Zech. a model C-25 touring C-37
touring and en-passenger model
Cos siN-Cylinder touring. The Chev-
rolet line is represented in two models
la Royal Mail roadster and the Ames-
bury Special. OF special interest in
connection with this exhibit is a large
picture of the Buick Prosperity Train

Vile bridge some weeks ago when the

The City Auto Supply Company have
installed complete Ford motor on
which they are demonstrating one of
! the Stull starters, made especially for
this make of car. The claim for this
machine is that it is very easily oper-
ated because all friction is eliminated
by using ball and roller bearings
throughout. making possible for ladies
and boys to operate same with ease.
To attach it is only necessary TO make
one hole at the bottom of dash near
the center large enough for a half-inch
square push rod TO pass through,
which is used TO operate the starter.
BY this simple method there is no dan
ger of weakening the car with a lot of
unnecessary holes. The starter COM
| plete weighs only ten pounds and
noiseless in operation. As soon as
the engine starts in either direction,
/ the -pawl or clutch is automatically
thrown out and the engine and starter
are then two different parts and do not
touch each other at any point. This
prevents the possibility of back fire
and eliminates danger of broken arms.
The starter does not touch any moving
part of the engine, except when the
starter is in actual use, thus eliminat-
ing the objection of extra bearings and
taking power OF engine away from car.
I \ one-man top and line of accessory
specialties comprise an interesting dis
play.
The twelve passenger Stanley noun
tain wagon shown by Paul Messner is
intended for work on hard. rough
roads and steep mountain grades.
Steam propelled, it has an abundance

mand of the operator enabling him to

curves. Ease of operation with no
clutch to work and no change speed

claimed for the steam cars. The en-
