%HERE was no indication Of

%HEHE was no indication or
depression among the men,
bers of the Washington
a Automotive Trade Associa-
ton last week when they got
together to plan the local auto
mobile show. With enthusiasm
and happy expectancy the men,
berSfip voted to have the annual
event at the Auditorium, and set
the date for January "a to 81, in
elusive. AS usual, Rudolph Jose
Will be chairman OF the Show
Committee.
Because of reported success Of
the shows on Sundays in other
cities it was decided to keep the
Auditorium open that day here.
An optimistic feeling exists among
the dealers represented in the
trade body that business condi-
Sons in the automotive industry
bill show q decided improvement
during 1881. People who have put
on buying new cars this year, 1t
is believed, will be inclined to do
so then.
The automobile Is a necessity
to the average family today, fall
ing in the same category as food
and clothes. Purchasing of the
latter can be postponed, and so it
Is with the new car, but eventually
it becomes essential.
There have been many improve
mentS adopted by the manufac-
turers-all for the advancing Of
durability and comfort of the
driver and passenger. The fur
therance Of safety devices also has
not been wanting. At the present
time the prospective buyer can be
positively assured that whatever
car he picks out he is going to
get q good one.
