vehicles in 1929, and, too, In
creases in this tax In several other
States.

D. c. WILL HAVE
FIRST USED
CAR SHOW

Each year the average motor.
LIST awaits with keen anticipation
the annual automobile show to
get his first glimpse Of the shiny
new models, the latest creations
of the manufacturers. He then
either makes UP his mind to buy
q new car or goes home content
that the old bus is not so bad
and that he will manage to get
along while longer by making
q few adjustments to the carbu-
rotor, taking out a few squeakS
and, perhaps, polishing up the
body.
For the average motorist can't
afford new machine every year
or maybe he hates to relinquish
the old car while there is still
breath Of life under the hood of
the old rattletrap.
The 1880 Automobile Show has
come and gone in all it's glory
but early in April a new kind of
QUITO show, poor cousin Of the
brilliant January show will hold
its stage at the Washington Au-
ditorium. It will be the National
Capitals first Used Car Show.
From April 5 to April IL lust
as good as new" cars will be ex-
hibited at the Auditorium.
AL make of cars polished up
and guaranteed by reputable
Washington dealers will be at
tractively displayed at prices con-
siderably below the cost Of 1880
models.
Here the thrift, economical
motorist may find something to
his liking that is in the range
Of his pocketbook. Most of the
models will be one, two and
three years old and the price
range will be from $100 to well
up in the thousands. T. William
Bennett is display manager for
the exhibit and he promises an
unusual show with all the ac-
countrements and attractions of
established automobile shows.
An unusual feature of the ex-
hibition win be the daily auc-
tion of the used cars which bids
fair to bring forth some real
bargains.
