be received. Pies, hot dogs and eggs
IN all shapes were in great demand
and Davenport is a feature of the
show.
Clear, cold air dried up the bad
spots on the parking space and
hundreds of cars swept in today
without getting stuck. Last night a
generous crowd came and found no
trouble in maneuvering because of
the excellent lighting system.
Evening clothes may be the thing
by the end of the week." predicted
Mr.. Myton today. Last night more
than dozen men came out in span
giles and they looked so good and
prosperous that I expect by Satur
day night it will be Il universal full
dress event"
Interest centered largely today in
the tidy array of accessory eXhib-
itors, who are just beginning ito
come in for their share of praise and
patronage. Archie Black. who has
his fine garage service at Seven
teenth street, went to the expense of
getting II professional decorator to
adorn his booth. Arch" is the
dynamo of this firm.
No One Escaped
At the stand of Hall q Essick. in
surance nestors, it is said they have
u periscope fixed so that no one can
escape. They insure for everything
and anything associated with mo-
toring. and few escape. How about
running over chickens and pigs?"
asked one anxious countryman. II
have had a lot of trouble with that
kind of thing" lie was asphyXiated
in jigtime with a policy containing
property damage clause.
Gerhart & Young, who dot Alli-
son Hill with a big league Electra
Garage" at Evergreen and Thomp-
son streets, lure the visitor with
flashlights They make u speciality
of batteries.
Market street dealers are sure on
the job, every one of them, and
Edward Singer has the distinction of
having been prominent at the very
first show held here. His slogan is
Atlantic Motor Oil and polarine for
lubricating juice. He is backed by the
big fellows, but the big fellows do
not bother the Independent Oil Com
pany which flaunts its chief product
''TeXocco" dawn at the end of the
room. Another Market street we'll
known is Edward Cowden, Keystone
Sales Company, member of the deal
er's association and a hustler for
| trade, especially when it comes to
selling an Apperson car
Near by him one perceives a slen-
der shrinking figure, harly visible to
the naked eye. in the person of Paul
Furman, whose cheerful chirp of
Miller Tires" puts dents in the well
kin. Frank Bosch, silent partner, is
not even this much in evidence, but
he is there with the old check book.
The dealers think So much of the
cIu cciral Halirata artistic a machinery
that many decorate ii as though it
were sweetheart. The frederick
Garage, 1907 Seventh street, handling
Rayhead carburetors, has its tires
twined with just the most beautiful
silk ribbons and bows.
On the Map
Ted" Deeter, whose firm, E. Math-
er & Company, was established
thirty-five years ago, certainly
knows how to keep his firm on the
map. At this establishment, 2O4 Wal
nut street, you may fit out an entire
garage with the latest devices, or
get anything made for machine.
Money back if not satisfactory" is
the legend. His most interesting eX-
hibit is "pull-you-out," a cute little
mechanism which can easily be car
ried along with the machine and
which will lift a ton to get the car
out of hole. This is spectacular
but the electric valve grinder is far
more important, says Ted" Big
gest time saver in the automobile
industry" Fred Sieber born and
reared in old Harrisburg, another
Market street dealer. was twitted to-
day with the fact that his family
used to make soap. Always doing
something to make people clean"
was his ready response. When
bath tubs become popular in motor
cars we will have 'em for sale"
The only well-known car missing
at the show is the Cadillac, for which
many ask on entering. The Harris
burg motor dealers cannot give any
explanation except to say that after
many invitations the Cadillac repre-
sentative here declines to cooperate
with the association, and thus one of
the very fine American products is
not 10 be seen at this show.
