dor OF the autos. Several tan
ldmps with yellow silk shades ado
an attractive touch. Many ferns
make the scene as a whole stu;
more alluring,
The main floor OF the armory, IN.
Guiding the two separate exhibit
rooms at the front, one OF which Is
the main office OF the garage, have
been accustomed as space for ex.
hlbitlng cars. Two OF the biggest
and richest cars on the market will
be shown In the small front room
to the right Of the entrance. The
balcony Just above the main floor
will be used as scene and stage; O.
the daily entertainment, to be diE.
ferent each day. The Moose band
will play captivating airs today
and some unique and highly inter,
esting shows will be given every
day the remainder OF this week. The
shows alone are said to. be worth
more than the admittance fee.
Several booths will be a big fea-
ture OF the auto show, among them
two built by the Ahern Advertising
corporation, which occupies a prom.
inent place on the right side Of the
main floor. Most compelling TO
the eye is the small Wooden figure
OF the well known Kip Fleming,
street officer OF this city. Kip
plays q big part In a miniature
game porraying street accident.
He stands In the middle OF wide
street and there are a dozen or SO
pasteboard cars rushing In all d.
rectlons, figuratively speaking.
There Is a background OF painted
office and store buildings of appre.
ciable size. In the center OF the
street, two cars clash lin imagina-
tion) and are shown, both damaged,
one minus wheels. Beside Kip
stands the imposing figure OF the
"adjuster" ~ the gentleman who
Charley Hood informs the public
is always lying in wait in Fairmons
ready on the instant to adjust
claims for damaged cars through
accident.
"You don't have to wait a week
or more TO get your adjuster on tho
ground and then wait still longer
for your claim" says the Hood com,
pany. Our adjuster Is on the
ground in half an hour or less and
your claims are settled Instantly
A long arrow IN the representative
scene points to this valuable gem
tleman. And Kip never budges.
With imposing solemnity he stands
hand appraised, his face set sternly
on his righteous duty. He is a cleY.
or caricature OF the real Kip.
Another particular interesting
booth is that OF c.. E. Minor and
son, osney Minor, showing a new.
auto chain which has never been
on the market as yet. This chain
has an odd steel plate running down
the center to prevent side slipping.
The patent was purchased from W.
NJ. F. staggers Of Warrington, who
is the inventor, and company has
been formed OF which F. w. Vance
OF Warrington is the president,
This booth is built up attractively
and shows a large wheel equipped
with the chain. The chains are alsoI
exhibited off the wheel.
The Inst four days Of the show,
the Liberty Review and the Davis,
Hartner orchestra will furnish en-,
joyable entertainment. There will
be songs and feature dancing by d
troupe Of unusual ability. The sing
ers are young women Of pep and
energy and these persons will do
their. very best for the Fairmont
audience daily. 1t is expected that
out.of-towners will take advantage
Of the opportunity to see and hear
Miss Marjorie Barrett, Miss Olga
Mundy, Miss Bonnie Preston, Miss
Nellie Dixon and Miss Eleanor Saw
age. Miss Gladys Yates will dance
and her costumes are very beauti.
full. Many, song hits will be sung of
special appeal to varied natures and
temperaments. The, DaYis-Hartner
orchestra will be a live wire.
With the setting which earnest
workers have made possible through
untlring decorative efforts, and
with many exquisite cars forming
the chief power Of attraction, the
second annual automobile show will
so down in Fairmont history as
equally as marvellous as the first
auto show in the Billy Sunday tab,
ernacle last year.
Come early, and drop in every
day and enjoy the excellent enter
tainment. Pick out your car and
even II you haven't the price, take
q ride In your imagination in one
Of the wonderful cars. II you have
a little cash laid by for a year you'll
never have better opportunity to
judge autos by comparison than
you'll have this week. Cars OF all
prices are shown" This is tho ad.
vice given by T. L. Cordray, presi.
dent OF the FaIrmont Automotive
association, under whose auspices
the show IS being held.
