JUICY STEAKS FOR
AUTOMOBILE MEN
One Thousand Persons Will Be
Dinner Guests at Big
Blowout Here.
AUTO TRADE ASSOCIATION

Automobile dealers who visit
Omaha during the twelfth annual au-
tomobilc exposition at the Auditor
ium, February 20 to March 3, are in
store for a rare treat. For on the
evening of February % the visiting
automobile men will be guests of the
Omaha Automobile Trade associa-
ton, the Commercial club and seven
Nebraska accessory jobbers at big
beefsteak dinner at the Fontenelle
hotel, 1t is expected fully 1000 per-
sons will attend this blowout.
This entertainment Of visiting mo-
tor car men is an innovation for
Omaha: 1t is to be held to promote
a feeling of closer fellowship between
Omaha and the automobile men i'll
the tributary territory. One or two
cities in the east have thus enter
tanned visiting automobile men with
great success, with the result that
Omaha has been prompted to follow
suit
1t is the hope and plan of the Oma-
ha men to organize at the dinner a
trade association covering automobile
men in all the territory adjacent to
Omaha. Such an association, it is be-
lieved, would be boon to the motor
car industry in this section OF the
country. The accessory and auto
supply jobbers who have joined with
the Omaha Automobile Trade asso-
citation and the Commercial club in
giving the beefsteak dinner are the
Kossemeyer company and Nebraska
Buick company of Lincoln, Western
Auto Supply company, United States
Auto Supply company, Omaha Rub
Der company, Paxton x Gallagher
