LITTLE DANGER OF
FIRE AT AUTO SHOW

What would be the result If fire
should break forth at the tabernacle
during the big motor exposition? With
100000 worth of exhibits in the build
ing a fire would be disastrous in sew
eral ways, especially to the insurance
companies.
But the auto show management and
the various exhibitors will be fully
prepared for fire. All over the taber-
nacle Pyrene fire extinguishers will be
at hands reach. Pyrene is one chemi-
cal which boasts the decision over
gasoline. Many times Pyrene has
saved the lives of automobile race
drivers when their cars caught fire
while travelling at ninety or 1OO-mile
an hour clip. A couple of squirts OF
Pyrene and the fire is out.
No smoking will be allowed at the
tabernacle during the show and nc
motors will be run except by electric
power. AS result of all these pre-
cautions the danger from fire will be
entirely eliminated.
Since the dates for the show have
been changed to April 3-S, more space
has been sold for exhibits and from
all indications the show will be tre
mendous success
