The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-04-06

but is unanimously acclaimed as the
best ever held in the intermountain
states, without exception.
When Boyd H. Fuller and his assist
ants planned and arranged the show,
they had in mind Twin Falls stand
ard of things. They did not try to
initiate Chicago, Denver, Seattle and
other automobile shows, but labored
to make the affair worthy of Twin
Falls. The result was that, according
to the statements of practically all the
automobile men who have attended
similar shows in the large cities, the
Twin Falls show equals and even ex
cells many of those held in the me-
tropolitan cities, especially in the
number of different makes of cars on
display-22 makes, or A cars.
The promoters were fortunate in
having at their disposal the large
frame building erected the latter part
of January for special evangelistic
meetings The building is approx
mately 100 by 125 feet in dimensions
and is none too large for the array
of automobiles on display.
The entrance to the building is de-
noted by the broad cinder road, curv-
ing between two rows of white pillars
topped by electric lights. Upon enter
ing the building, the first impression
is that of pleasant surprise over the
general magnitude of the interior and
of the displays of magnificent auto
mobiles. Down the center of the big
building is a double row of booths,
standing back to back. Along each
side of the length of the building is
a row of booths and at the end oppo-
site the entrance is the platform,
where special entertainment is given
each afternoon and evening.
White cOlOnnades are ranged across
the room at the entrance, with large
American flags draped about the tops
of them. Blue and white bunting is
draped from the high center of the
ceiling to the tops of the booths, and
electric lights of both the direct and
the indirect system, $4,000 watts
strong, add to the attractiveness of the
scene. A thick carpet of sawdust and
shavings makes silent floor covering,
which, by the application of water two
or three times day and the trampling
of many feet, is packed to a salts
factory condition. Leather-covered
settees and davenports, garden seats
and many potted ferns and plants add
effectiveness to the general effect
The programs given each day con-
sist of afternoon concerts by the Lo-
gan Music company, grand concerts
each evening by the Twin Falls band
from 1880 to 10 o'clock, entertainment
by Black, the white magician" from
s to 9 o'clock, and solos between
and $3.50 by Miss X. Karryn, the lyric
soprano at the Rogerson cafe.
OF course, this being an automobile
show, the automobiles are the main
attraction. 1t is safe to say that every
one who visits the show leaves it an
automobile enthusiastic he was not
one already when he entered. The
magnificent specimens of automobile
craft seen in every booth, in all sizes,
styles, colors and prices fairly make
the spectators mouth water for a
taste of the Joys of owning or even
driving one OF them.
The demonstration at each booth is
bubbling over with information, as
surance and praise concerning his
make of car. The machine stands in
its booth like some composite, living
. thing-part human, part powerful
beast and part machine. It's eyes, un-
blinking are like those of a feline
, creature, glowing brighter only at
night The demonstrator removes the
head covering, or hood" as it is
, called, and shows the workings of the
brain, or engine, with its many cells
which he calls valves. He talks OF
} valves in the heads" as fluently as
physician speaks of "colds in the
head He talks of the different types
; of engines as though they were hui
man beings, pointing out this one as
being built for pulling-the car with
, the pull-which one would infer might
be of the political type. Another is
built for speed, with, perhaps, g
, smaller engine. 1t is like the impul.
. sive type of human being. Another is
>. built for power and endurance and de-
probability like a good friend. An
. other is devoid, perhaps, of the frills
and trimmings and special polish, but
is good friend of the masses.
