EXHIBIT
AT STATE FAIR GREAT
Will Be Feature Of Finest
Machinery Showing Ever
Seen at Fair

Without question the greatest degree
of progress in any given line of peace
ful industry within the last decade has
been that achieved in the Improvements
vehicles, including farm machinery and
implements, where the saving of time
and labor and the elements of speed
and comfort enter as items of economic
Importance. Appreciating the rapidly
in creasing interest of the public in
general and the farming class in par
ticular in this line of advancement and
its Importance to the agricultural de-
velopment Of the commonwealth, the
board of directors of the Oregon state
fair are striving to make the automo.
bile exhibit, in connection with the
general machinery and farm implement
exhibit, for the 1916 state fair, to be
held during the week of September 25,
the largest and most complete of any
ever held in the northwest.
That they are meeting with most
satisfying encouragement in this ambi-
tion is demonstrated by the enthusiastic
response being manifested by all con-
cerned, and especially by the manufac-
turing interests which are making in
quiries for and reserving exhibit space
in greater number than ever before. As
an example of the greatly enlarged and
more representative scope of the auto
MOBILE exhibition in prospect for tne
1916 fair, as compared to last year and
former state fairs, Secretary Manager
Lea of the fair board has found it nee
essary to double the space previously
allotted for the automobile exhibit this
year, setting aside six sections of the
big machinery hall, aggregating $50 by
$50 feet in dimensions, whereas only
three sections, rs by 315 feet had been
previously allotted.
Not only will the automobile exhibit
at the state fair this year be muca
larger and more complete than any pre-
vious automobile show ever held in the
state but the visitors at this year s
fair will have the advantage of seeing
the latest types of machines Q917
models) long before they are put on
display in the winter shows and sever
al months before they are placed upon
the market. While the automobile, mo-
tor driven machinery and vehicle show
of 1915 was very creditable exhibit
that in contemplation for this year will
far out-class that of any show ever
held in previous years and the exhibit
will be presented in most attractive
display, with an abundance of drapery,
floral and other decorations gorgeously
heightened by colored light effects.
Never in the history of the motor
IND ~ h.
ed such perfection as those that are
being made for next year. Four, six
and twin six motors, electric starting
and lighting, clover leaf and other
seating plans, luxuriant appointments
and graceful designs that were un-
known two or three years ago make
the ears for 1917 a revelation.
The motor show gives especial ad-
vantages for seeing and comparing the
different makes in one great display,
and the display at tae 1916 Oregon
state fair will embrace every known
and popular make in use ON the Pacific
coast, besides some new ones that are
just coming into the western market.
"There will be more and better
display of automobiles at the state
fair this year than ever BEFORE said
Joseph N. Reig, of Portland, who was
in charge of the machinery pavilion
last year and paid a visit to the
grounds early this week. New (l9lO
models are being built and will be ship
ped directly from the factories to the
fair grounds so that the visitors to
this years fair will have the opportu.
nifty to see the very latest models and
make their comparisons long before the
machines are placed on the market,
The automobile show will be one of
the biggest and most important of any
exhibit on the grounds this year. ~
