dependent Exhibit ,
BY J. G. GRIFFIN.
SPLENDID in its showing of hand
some machines, which took up
the entire floor space of the big
'.'■, auditorium, the 1910 automobile show,
y promoted by the independent dealers
of Los Angeles opened its doors to
j-.large crowds last night at the Grand
avenue rink. While the success of an
.-exhibit is not measured by the crowds
'.- in attendance, nor the enthusiasm
'\ shown, it is safe to predict that the
,'■ dealers occupying space on the floor.
'5 will reap their reward later, so tempt
ingly did they display their wares for
:■-. the edification of those present.
The rink was tastefully decorated
jj for the occasion, and not a feature was
; presented which served to do other
I than add to the success of the initial
I evening of the week's exhibit. The
for the occasion, and not a feature was
presented which served to do other
than add to the success of the initial
evening of the week's exhibit. The
cars themselvesthe real reason for
I the show's —were on their best
I behavior, and the careful grooming
they had undergone previous to open
y ing hour was well represented in shin
ing brass frames and gaily uphol
j stered bodies. Around each separate
section crowds gathered to discuss the
merits of their choice, and all evening
, the merry chatter of spectators ming-
I led with the strains of the orchestra.
It would be hard to pick out any
predominating feature, for everything
had been arranged with such care
that the ensemble left a more lasting
impression than individuality. The
row upon row of silent cars, gay in
their ornaments of brass and paint,
vied with the decoration in adding
color to everything, and the hundreds
of bright lights shed their radiance
on well-pleased crowds.
Rink Well Decorated
The dome of the huge rink is for
the time being one almost solid mass
of incandescent globes. At the very
top, right against the roof, the national
colors form a red, white and blue
background, while Chinese lanterns
are strung at frequent intervals. At
the aides of the auditorium wreaths
of smilax lend their fresh greenness
to the entire body, and beneath the
cars rest upon their carpets and can
vas.
Forty-eight exhibitors took advantage
of the show to give the public a look
at their wares. Not all of these handled
automobiles, for the sundries, supply
and insurance men occupied booths
around the sides of the rink, and those,
Who had nothing tangible to exhibit
presented what they had to sell in the
form of booklets and literature. Sou
venirs were to be had in almost every
section, and each car was attended by
alert salesmen and agents ready and
willing to expound on the merits of
their goods.
Close coupled, four-passenger cars
seem to be the vogue this season, and
nearly every firm exhibiting had one
or more graceful machines of this type
in the section alloted to it. The two
and three passenger runabouts which
have in other years been so predomi
nant were to be seen only in the
smaller machines. Commercial vehicles
commanded their fair share of floor
space, and the ever present touring and
town cars held their own with other
models. .' ■ ;"
In point of numbers the California
Auto company proved the most formid
able, with seven machines of various
types and a large truck which proved
one of the features of the exhibit. War
ren Detroits, California Tourists and
Columbuses made up the display, and
the section in which they were quarx
tered drew a goodly share of attention
from the wandering throngs.
The Waverly Electric samples proved
interesting. Three types—phaeton,
■brougham and coupe—perfect in their
appointments and graceful in their
lines, ably represented the class to
which they belong. The R. & L. com
pany also displayed three handsome
modls. 5
For the steam cars both the Lane
and Stanley agents made good ac
counting, Only one car, a four-passen
ger, was displayed by the latter, but
the I.ane showed up well with two
touring cars of the twenty-five-horse
power type.
Trucks Show Well
Commercial vehicles appeared to ad
vantage. The Pioneer Commercial
' Auto company was in line with a Re
liance motor truck, a large truck for
Swift & Co., and a smaller delivery
wagon. Hawley, King & Co. relied on
their striped Graknwsky truck,to at
tract attention, and the Autocar truck
exhibited by Mr. Bulkley more than
held Its own so far as favorable com
ment from the spectators went.
Carrigan Bros, exhibit two models at
the show. One is a close-coupled toy
tonneau Royal Tourist, sixty horse
power, while the other is a 40-50 Mid
land. Both are handsome cars, and the
Carrigan booth was the center of an
admiring crowd all evening. The Car
rigan souvenirs are also works of art.
splendidly embossed calendars being
used as gifts to those fortuntae enough
to get in before the rush.
"Dare Devil" Paul Derkum, acting
as agent for the Pico Carriage and
Auto company, mounted guard over
two neat appearing cars. One was a
Paterson 30 and the other a Whiting
20, and they amply filled the space al
lotted to them and were the recipients
of many admiring glances. .
Two fifty-horsepower four-passenger
Pennsylvanias represented the Vail.
Motor Car company; a monster tor*,
pedo body Flat, somber and powerful
looking in its battleship gray coat, ac
companied by a more pleasant looking
factory companion, account for the G.
W. Auto Repair company's space. Two
close coupled beauties make up the
Durocar display and two Hupmoblles
are entered by the Tri-State people.
The only Fal car west of Denver Is
the offering of the Fred W. Cornell
company. It is a handsome machine
and appears to be far more expensive
than the sign stating 11850 as the price
• would indicate. A seven-passenger
fifty-horsepower Welch looms up for
midably in the Welch Motor Car com-
