wants a low slung racer, rldlculing
auntie, who prefers a sedate sadan.
Those who said that automobiles had
about reached their limit OF develop
ment and that there were no further i'm
provements to make. are in Oh ewrong,
according TO local auto dealers. One
dealer said this morning: 'Why the --
car has seven improvements to the en-
glne alone, mentioning the name Of a
well known car.
There can be no doubt that the war
has had a great deal to do with i'm
provements in cars. Think Of itl Some
/ Of the improvements are taken from the
army airplanes. and there is at least
one car which very decidedly resembles
a plane, minus the wings.
During the week Of the show. there
will be plenty OF music furnished by
( the Original Six" orchestra, composed
OF George F. Kelly, pianist; E. B. Solo
mon, saXOphone and Xylophone; A. B.
Schlosser. violin; Warren w. Grler,
banjo; Bertram Wilson, saxOphOne, and
idlNpg Auutlcuut NIulllc.
Why should you visit the auto show?
Here are six good reasons:
I. If you see all OF the representa-
tive American cars together. you Will
be better able TO compare their respec-
tive merits.
?. II sou are desirous Of purchasing
a car, you will save nerve force, yeXa-
ton and shoe leather by seeing all OF
the cars at once, instead OF tramping
from one dealer 30 the other.
3. You will hear remarks by car
owners and dealers IN the crowd, which
will aid your Judgment. You will know
that no car owner is trying 20 sell TO
you. when he doesn't even know you
are listening.
z. The delivery Of the car YOU select,
n any. can be more definitely guaran-
teed right from the show than from
any other place.
5-It is the rule OF every trade First
come, first served" and yotf--ss7iiil be
surer OF getting the car you want il
you order earlier in the season. And
did you ever know that the fashions !
OF the cars set by the purchasers at |
the 20 big shows I'm the Eastern parts |
Of the country, in the months Of Janu-
ary and February?
6-Because you are going to enjoy
yourself.
There are now G.5OO,OO0 cars in the
United States, approximately 100000 /
Of which are pleasure cars. Counting
the population OF the United States as
100000 and the average family as
five persons, about one family in
every five now owns a car.
An innovation OF this years show will
be the charging Of a 50-cent admission
price. 10 is felt that, owing to the
great expenses Of holding the exhibition,
The dealers could not afford 20 bear the
whole burden Of The cost.
It must not be forgotten that all OF
Wilmlnglon's prominent accessory i
dealers are exhibiting in the old lobby
of the hotel. Every conceivable part
OF an automobile which comes under the.
head Of an accessory will be found
here, from jack TO a spark plug.
