Of all people in this city and the en-
tire Slope territory who are inter-
estcd in automobiles VINO in
there today who is not interested in
automobiles in some way, shape or
manner--for at 10 o'clock on that
day the doors will be opened on
Bismarck's first automobile show.
The building is the one which was
used last fall for revival services
and is known as the tabernacle.
While its construction is such that
it is not entirely suitable for an au-
tomobile show, the dealers who are
sponsoring the affair decided to make
use Of il as best they could because
it is the only building in the city
which is anywhere near large enough
for the purpose. The dealers, as
well as city people in general, are
hoping that before the time rolls
around for another such display
suitable community building may
have come into being here, inasmuch
as there seems to be much interest
displayed along that line at present.
The bi. show will continue for
three days Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, March 1, 5, and 6-and
the doors will be open from 10 a. m.
To 10 p. m., daily. Eleven local mo-
tor car dealers will have on display
at the tabernacle 33 Of the latest
models Of automobiles. having to-
tai value of approximately 500, 900.
In addition to this Quanrud, Brink
K Reibold. local wholesalers of au-
tomobile parts and accessories, will
have "a display of auto accessories at
the show, worth several thousand
dollars.

ed the North Dakota Chocolate

Building Decorated
The auto show building is being
profusely decorated with flags aud
bunting and will offer very at
tractive appearance during the show
Because of the limited amount of
space no definite booths will be es
| tablished. but each dealer exhibiting
| has been allotted u certain amount of
floor space, in which he will place
! the various models of cars which he
handles. Uniform signs, hung from
above, will designate the make and
| model of each automobile and the
name of the dealer who sells it.
! A survey Of the models which will
be displayed at the tabernacle re-
veals the interesting fact that only
two open cars will be shown there.
all others being of the closed type.
| Only few years ago at any auto
show the open cars were in the
/ great majority, and only a very few
closed models were shown. The con-
venience and comfort of the closed
car has brought it more and more
in favor each year, until now the
factories are standardizing on clos
ed models and making the open model
cars on special srders.
