AUTO SHOW MARKS
GROWTH OF OMAHA
First Motor Exhibition in Omaha

Five Dealers.
NOW HALF HUNDRED EXHIBIT

The evolution OF the Omaha Automo-
bile show from the first display in 1906
by five enthusiastic hustling dealers to

this year by half hundred dealers. is
one OF the many tlhngs which emphatic
ally proves the wonderful growth OF

April TO Z. 1905. OF the five dealers who
took part in that show but one, Clarke

1t wasn't much of show as shows go
now, that first display. THE stage, the
basement, the corridors were unoccupied.
nothing but the main floor was used.
And there was plenty of room on the
main floor too, despite the fact that the
five dealers scattered out their cars and
tire and accessory displays and anything
else which would fill space.
The cars were practically all borrowed
from private owners. There weren't any
special show cars in those days. The
machines were largely one and two
cylinder affairs with ore or two fours in
cluded. There wasn't such a thing as
six or an eight or a twelve cylinder
motor.
What a difference ten years has made.
When the eleventh annual show opens
at the Auditorium Monday every avail
able bit OF space In the big building Will
be occupied and still the exhibitors will

duration instead of three days. Ten times
as many dealers will exhibit. Ten times
as many cars will be displayed. There
will be special decorations. special light.
