WESTERN STATES
WILL STAGE BIG
DISPLAY IN s. F.

Motorists Of today want highways
comparable to railroad tracks,
maintained in as good shape as rail
roads keep their lines. The auto
ist of the present is 50 Vitally in
tereSted in highway construction
and maintenance that all matters
pertaining to such development are
paramount issues whenever cousid-
cred in practically all sections of
the west.
This attitude of motorists WAS
held to be sufficient reason for an
all-westcrn road show when plans
were formed for this gathering to
be held in san Francisco November
9 TO Il. Yet it was feared that Il
tremendous effort would have to
be made TO arouse interest in this
first exhibition of its kind in the
west. just the opposite has been
the effect of the announcement of
the show however, so that cxhibi-
tion space has been taken at such
speed that every inch of the 10000
square feet of space available has
been sold weeks before the open
ingN 1t is now proudly made public
that the l / western states will stage
a highly representative show to be
the largest of its kind in the world.
Five conventions viii be held
during the show week with all pro
grams devoted to matters concern
ing highway building. Highway of
ficials of the II western states, GOV.
ernors. construction men. equipment
dealers, road supervisors and com
missioners. contractors, sand, gravel,
cement and paving dealers, and in
fact all directly interested in high.
way matters Will take part.
Five great tents and - acres will
be utilized in the big exhibition, the
acreage to be used by working eX-
hibits of eXcavting machines, grad
ers and other road building equip
mcnt.
Southern California motorists are
showing special interest in the ali
western road show in relation to the
comparatively large amount Of
money they pay into the maintcn-
anee OF roads.

"Thp Star standard coach at n
substantially lower price is n real
sensation in the low-eost ear field, y
according to Ford G. Smith of the
local Star dealers. 1t is without
Il doubt olte Of the greatest values
ever offered aud the demand should
certainly keep the factory work
ing under pressure.
"The coach has always been
very popular model among low cost
huvcrs. and it has been :: problem
to keep enough ears on hand at all
times to supply the demand. Now,
more than ever with the new low
price, will buyers seek this snappy
Sta coach, = said Mr.. Smith.
"fhe standard coach has balloon
tires and four wheel brakes as
standard equipment. II also has
leather upholsi cry, which is more in
demand today than ever before be-
cause of its appearance. and above
all for its durability. These three
factors mean much TO low cost ear
buVcrs. .
1--WE are not surprised at the
lowered prices on this model, be-
cause the factory anticipated the
tremendous demand which \ means
greater volume production. This
iust.fcs the substantial cut in
price.
"Thc total reduction in price, af-
fccting the Star coach models within
