 Tuesday night and Wednesday morning a number of additional features were added, and special cars which had been ordered especially for the display and were little late in Arriving were placed. This morning the show will open with every car and every little "bit of access sory'' in place, and visitors to the show will have the pleasure or seeing in it's fin- ished condition the most complete auto- mobile show ever staged in the south.
 The dealers are delighted with the att tendance so far, and the interest dis played They say they are going to sell lots of cars as a result of the show. And if they do not there will surely be no reason for it, because the spielers, many of them imported especially for the occasions, are certainly on to their jobs They're spelling to large audiences almost continually.
 TALKS WITH KAISER
 One of the attractive features of the exhibit and one which has caused much comment and admiration is the exhibit of the Long Distance spark plug. In this booth a wireless station has been erected, and everybody who visits the show has to stop for st short chat with the Kaiser. This is just one of the ex- traordinary features of the show Out-of- town dealers who have visited other automobile shows in the south say that the Birmingham snow has it all over any show they have ever seen. More at tention has been paid to detail, they say, than in other shows and the result is necessarily more pleasing.
