The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-28

Birmingham, collectively and individ- ually. is looking forward with keen an ticipation to the big automobile show to be staged the week of March 5. And why not?
 If there's anything more interesting than 8 new model, bright and shining automobile, it's a whole auditorium full of new model bright and shining auto
 mobiles. And that's what Birmingham is going to have the pleasure of feasting her eyes upon during the above mentioned
 week.
 It's going to be big week for the au-
 tomobile men, but it's going to be big
 week for Birmingham and Birmingham
 merchants, too. And every person in Bir-
 mir. gham, whether he happens to be the
 owner of car, or not, but who is inter-
 ested in Birmingham, should do all in his
 power to make the show 8 success.

 any city in the south, and it seems quite
 fitting that the automobile men should
 get together and stage for their local friends a show of this kind, where per- sons interested in cars may have the privilege of seeing the newest models dis played under the most propitious cir cumstances.
