The very great respect mad esteem
in which these newspapers always

finally settled. it was found that
there were no doors nor windows
leading into the hotel from the
street, wide enough to permit OF
the entrance of the cars.
Right here is where Manager
Taite showed he was a man who
could meet a crisis.
The show had been announced,
the automobile dealers and enthusi-
asts had been keyed up to high en-
thusiasm. and it appeared as il
there could be no show, because
the cars could not be brought into
the hotel. Looking around for a
possible solution. when apparently
there was none, all windows and
exits having been measured and
found too small, it was suggested
that an entrance large enough lead
into the luggage room. and that by
removing the hotel accounting de-
partment. tearing out all partitions
intervening and cutting through a
wall Of re-enforced concrete there
would be just sufficient room to
bring the automobiles in through
the Rose Room.
Manager Taite hesitated only
long enough to assure himself that
the plan was feasible, and when
the promoters Of the show returned
for his decision the partitions had
been removed and workmen had al
ready drilled through the concrete

pee. This incident well shows
