A Notable Display
of Buick Cars.

The fine display of Buick ears made
at the Shannon garage last week but
for the intervention of a persister
spell of bad weather, would have been
the most elaborate thing Of the kind
ever carried out in Macon. This was
planned and executed by Mr. W l. Shan
non, Buick agent here, ON last Fri
day and Saturday as far
as the indoor display went. These
two days were set aside by Mr. Shan
ron as the time for The snowy and
p-to-date display that would sur
pass anything that this section of the
State has ever known. The handsome
garage was decorated with Christ
greens from the Office to the rear
door, with magnificent ferns and
blooming pot plants arranged in pro-
fusion in decorative effect. Numbers
of handsome Buick cars, seven mod
els in all, with several cars of each
model, were on display, making just
such an elaborate showing as a large
number of this splendid car in its diff
ferent styles and models would be eX-
pected to make. The show room wa
an especially attractive place, with
exceptionally artistic decorations Of
the Christmas hangirgs, augmented
by handsome pot plants and bowls Of
fragrant and gorgeous roses as a set
ting for a lone maroon Buick road
ster that stood in regal aloofness, an
attraction for all who passed, and
were drawn in to have a closer IN
spection and examination Of its lux
urious upholstering and fittings.
Crowds thronged the garage on
these days, attracted by the glitter
ing show that they glimpsed from
without, and also by the lure Of nv
sic from a band imported 10 add more

tered. they were charmingly greeted

and turned whosoever would over 20
the airable proprietors Of the estab-
ment, who gladly pointed out all Of the
good points in IN edlSposllon Of the
splendid car they handle. After a
tour Of inspection, each guest was
escorted by the ladies to the register,
where all were requested to register,
The crowning feature of the show
was 20 have been a Buick parade at 9
o'clock on Saturday, in which all Of
the splendid cars on display, would
be shown in action, with ali OF the
Bucks that have been sold in the
county joining in the parade, This
would have been an attractive and
imposing parade, and everybody was
disappointed with the dealers, when a
steady downNour that cohtlnne'
throughout the day, prevented this
feature being pulled off. But with on'
his added attraction, this was ar
unparalled exhibition and has
been pronounced by those who
are familiar with such displays in cit
les as the most attractive and elabo-
rate that has ever been carried out in
town Of this size. The Shannon
