local persons and business firms and
the numerous individuals who have
helped to make the show q success"
Factory representatives and other
individuals connected with the auto
motive industry and here for the
show were the most surprised persons

They were surprised both by the &C.
commodationS offered and at the
manner In which people turned out
to see the exhibits.
Calls It Finest Show
W. A. Cappein, representing q Gin
cinnati equipment house, said: This
is the finest small show 1 have ever
seen. I have attended 16 motor shows
this season. beginning with New York
and Chicago and including most of
the big ones. Bismarck doesn't have
to take off its hat in competition
with any Of them. The arrangements
are wonderful and the crowd has
been q pleasant surprise. Never have
I seen more interest and that Is en-
couraging. After seeing this show I
won't believe that 1881 Is . depres-
! sion year."
M. e. colvin, Springfield, NJ. said:
This is one Of the best shows I have
ever attended anywhere. This fine
building Is a credit to any city and
a real surprise to those Of us who
came here from points outside your
state. Those folks who thought they
! were coming to an unimportant show
In q 'hick' town have been pleasantly
surprised. They don't understand
how 1t car be but they now know it
to be true that a city the size Of Bis
marck al be q real metropolitan
center. This building would do credit
to q city many times the size Of Bis
marck. I have attended shows in
cities Of 100000 where the arrange
ments were not a convenient and
the show was not as good. The auto
mobile dealers and the city of Bis
marck both deserve credit for the
manner in which this show Is put on
and managed"
Congratulatcs Capital City
w. A. Mcmillan, Fargo, said: 1T
is q great shoW-0ne Of the best. The
| people of Bismarck are to be con-
graduated. This building and the
facilities provided for this show
would do credit to any city Of $4,000
| population or ven more"

same tone of surprise and amazement

ITS motor show had made an impress
sion on them which they will remem-
Der.
