Following four days of
sweeping success, the Tribune
Automobile Show closed

a galaxy of lights, the stirring
and poppy tunes of an orches-
ira. ana the offerings OF tho best
Vaudeville talent while the last crowd
that had gathered flied oSt rather re.
iuctanf to witness h passing of the
only festival OF its kind that the city
has seen.
Over 1000 persons were entertained

III many cases there Is little doubt
that a single person may have attend
ed the entertainment four times,
drawn back at each Instance by the
noyely OF It. the crowd that he knew
would be there. and the assurance
that he would not be disappointed.
The success Of the festival was due
to the splendid corporation among
the dealers whose cars and other
wares were placed on exhihiL It was
the 'all for ono and n for ALI spirit

which conquered the obstacles that
Tad been found IN The way and which
marched triumphant TO tho goal which
had been marked out
Tho resolve to give the public A
show which would increase It's Inter

time offer them every advantage OF
an evenings entertainment in a light
or way was carried put to completion
Half a dozen splendid entertainers
had been obtained from Denver whos
ability TO awaken the humorous emo
lions OF their audience was admitted.
Ackerman's orchestra and n local man
such as Rex Wayne completed the bill.
The cars displayed were the finest
that can be found anywhere. the
latest in car building and the types
accepted by the particular buyer.
The Tribune automobile show has
paved the way for a like production
in the future. Having witnessed one
such carnival, the public will not be
satisfied to forget It forever. but will
surely .re-awaken It mex spring or
next fall and will endeavor in every
way TO maks It bigger and greater
than the one put on during the four
greatest entertainment days of octo-
Der. 1922.
The advertising value TO the city
has never been questioned Dealers
from several states, In many cases
from the headquarters of the manu-
featuring companies were present.
Persons not directly interested in the
car business at all came to Casper
in order thai they might witness the
great exhibit.
Taken as a whole. The Tribune u

by any party associated in It. but rath-
er a qualification at the fact that this
