SUCCESSFUL SHOW
FORESEEN BY Jose
Washington Exhibit Will Find
$50 Models of New Cars
on Display.

Indication grows that the forth
which will open at the Washington
Auditorium next Saturday, will be the
most colorful and comprehensive dis
play Of its kind ever held In the Ma
tional Capital, according to a state
ment yesterday by Rudolph Jose, chair
man of the show committee of the
Washington Automotive Trade Associa-
ton, in behalf of that group.
Plans already made leave little room
for doubt, Mr.. Jose asserted, that the
exposition will exceed in interest and
value all those which have gone be-
fore. And, he adds, plans are virtually
complete at the present time, although
| there are numerous minor details
which need and will receive the atten-
ton Of the show committee during this
week.
Sees 1880 Show as Finest.
1.-THE way the show shapes up at
present - and we know that any
changes which are made from now un-
til opening time will be for the better
we are more than safe in saying that
the 1880 display will be the finest the
Washington Automotive Trade AsSocia-
ton ever has sponsored" Mr.. Jose said.
First of all, the cars to be displayed
will be more interesting than ever.
Scores of new developments are to be
seen in the various lines. Mechant-
cally and from the standpoint Of ap-
pearance, the 1880 lines have very
great deal to offer the show visitor.
The cars themselves, so replete with
impressive improvements and notable
surprises, assure us the most interest
ing show we have ever had.
Secondly, the show committee this
year is sparing no pains in making the
setting worthy Of the splendid exhibits
which will be shown. The interior
decorative scheme is being planned to
provide a vivid, yet beautifully blend
ing background for the automobiles
which will occupy both the auditorium
floor and exhibition hall Of the vast
structure at Nineteenth and e streets
northwest.

this highly important task, and We be-

pleasing to every show visitor.

the show committee has been to ar
range the exhibits so that 'traff1c'
through the auditorium can be enabled
to move freely and without congestion
despite the extraordinarily heavy
crowds.
THAT this is no small job is better
realized when one understands that
last year more than 10000 persons
passed through the portals of the
Washington Auditorium and filed
through the wide corridors between the
various motor cars and accessories
exhibits.
This year the show committee Is
hopeful of doing an even better job in
this respect than that of last year,
assuring every show visitor clear, un-
hurried view of every display in the
building"
The show committee announces that
more than $50 different models will be
exhibited at the Auditorium this year.
