SOCIETY NIGHT
AT MOTOR SHOW
WELL ATTENDED
MANY TRIBUTES ARE PAID TO
KING AUTOMOBILE
FULL NUMBER OF CARS PLACED
IN BIG HALL
Local Firms Appear to Advantage with
Clever Exhibit of Products
of Factories Operat-
Ing Here
Society donned its smartest raiment
last night and paid tribute to King Au
tomobile. Tho rows and rows of si- !
lent' machines In the Grand avenue
rink, groomed for the occasion In
shining brass and glossy coats, stood
the admiring glances well and their
handlers seemed well satisfied with the
tributes paid by spectators.
That many cars will be sold as a
direct result of the exhibit seems as
sured, for many transfers in owner
ship from agents to private , persons
have already been recorded. Mr. Del
Valle, the Brush agent, probably es
tablished a record when he disposed
of two of the little cars on opening
night. Other agents are also making
money while the lights shine, and brisk
business Is .reported up and down the
line.
The night exhibit, attended as it
was by well-groomed men and taste
fully dressed women, was not the only
feature of the day, as the afternoon
hours accounted for their fair share
of visitors. The Laietsky orchestra
dispensed sweet strains all day and
during the entire evening, and other
little specialties arranged by the man
agement served to take some small
attention away from the automobiles.
Added to the other powerful looking
machines yesterday was the Isotta-
Fraschini, exhibited by the Motor Car
Import company. Tills stripped racer,
which proved its courage in the Los
Angeles to Phoenix race last year, has
been making a round of shows, and
was not received here in time for the
opening night. This fact, however,
made little difference for It. but en
hanced the interest taken in the ex
hibit.
The sundries and specialties booths
were well attended all afternoon and
evening, and the exhibitors had plen
ty of chance to display their wares to
Interested visitors. The Rlsden line of
Indian motorcycles, and the two gray
speed-burners representing the Excel
sior make, were surrounded by en
thusiasts eagerly noting their fine
points, and motorcycle business prom
ises renewed activity for the rest of
the season.
Top Making Popular
The California Auto company's top
department, where the art of making
automobile sun and rain protectors is
exemplified by skilled workmen, was
a center of attraction, and tho neat
style of finished product displayed was
particularly pleasing to those cogni
zant of detailed construction.
At tho booth of the Fireman's Fund
Insurance company George Oilmore
and A. M. Bonsall took care of all
comers and detailed with tho fluency
of men who know their business on
the merits of automobile insurance in
general and the Fireman's Fund In
particular. Rule and Son represented
the St. Paul Insurance company, and
both firms are apparently well satis
fied with the results of their work.
Kay Thomas is ever ready to dis
play the merits of his device at the
booth of the Electric Equipment com
pany, and, of course, the Seeley Igni
tion system demonstrators are kept
constantly busy explaining the won
derful invention they are forwarding.
Over In one corner the Santo vacuum
cleaners take up their generous allot
ment of space with a handsome dis
play, and the Auto Inner Casing com
pany and Perkins wind shields hold
their own with the other exhibitors.
Reflectors and headlights of all sorts
are the show places at the Western
Mechanical works' booth.
With the automobiles themselves
every exhibitor and patron seems sat
isfied with what Is presented in the
gaily decked sections on the floor. The
two 50-60 horsepower Americans, one
stripped and the other In full glory
of regular equipment, amply compen
sate their owners' efforts, and next to
them Tom Carrigan,. assisted by his
brother, William E., and William Mc-
Donough, shine in the honors reflected
by a handsome close-coupled 60-horse
power Royal Tourist and a 40 and a 50
--horsepower Midland.
Auburns Appear Well
Three beautiful specimens of Auburn
handiwork are shown by the W. J.
Burt company. The 24-horse power
touring car Is finished in dark green,
while the Forties, representing both
touring and close-coupled types, are of
a tasty shade of blue. The Autocar's
close-coupled, olive-bodied machine is
Hanked by a large delivery wagon of
the same make, and the Badger brand
Is shown on a touring Thirty and black
roadster of the same power.
Two runabouts and a delivery wagon
aro typical of the ever popular Brush,
and across the aisle the California is
represented in three nice models— a
C in gray and red, a. seven-passenger
60-horse power touring machine and a
maroon-colored limousine. The Fire
stone-Columbus occupjes quarters ad
joining, and the little gray torpedo, a
family car and a neat four-passenger
vehicle, are greatly admired.
Bosbyshell and Carpenter display the
Dorris to advantage in a gray touring
car and a close coupled black model.
The Durocars of local manufacture
loom up formidably and to advantage
alongside the eastern products, and the
three types on parade are enviously re
garded by others. The Fiat gunboat
continues to hold its place In the front
row, and its stablemates, a blue tour
ing car and a stripped roadster, form
an admirable background. The Empire
roadster is generously praised, and the
Hawley King exhibit of Grabowsky
trucks and a detached engine show the
generous power given these commer
cial vehicles. The Gramm-Logan trucks
also serve to draw crowds to their
rather unadvantageous position at the
side of the big hall.
A Ford <chassis and three fully
equipped models— coupe, touring car
and four-passenger, make up the
Standard Motor Car company's line;
two Hupmoblles are in the Trl-State
booth and a handsome 24-horse power
toy tonneau Halladay ranges* along
side the Isotta in the Motor Car Import
company's section. Two Lane steam
ers have already proved their worth,
as three cars were sold yesterday to
p. S. Cox of San Diego.
Lexingtons Well Received
Burkhard & Crippen takes plenty of
•Justified pride in the cream-colored toy,
tonneau Lexington they exhibit, and
the sister car of touring type is also
well received. A big red National tour
ing car, denoting its 50-horsepower In
every line of its powerful frame,' takes
care of persons visiting that section of
the rink, and Paul Derkum la ever

ready to dwell on the merits of a Peter
son Twenty and one of tfte same make
stripped down to its actual working
party.
In the 30-horse power cream-colored
Pennsylvania the Vail Motor Car com
pany has something on which to brag,
and Its 60-horse power sister machine
ls also a Jaunty piece of work. Both
are of the toy tonneau style, and are.
built along extremely graceful and
comfortable lines. A black top tonneau
Petrel of 30-horse power ably repre
sents the Williams Auto company's
stock, and three types of R. & L. elc
trics prove tho worth of the juice-pro
pelled vehicles. •
The polished chassis of a Rambler
promised for opening day was received
and held a prominent place in the W.
K. Cowan section. With it appeared
two touring cars and a handsome road
ster. The 30-horse power touring Rider
Lewis added greatly to the success of
the Angelus Motor Car company's ex
hibit, and a split rumble Stanley
steamer accounted for that popular
line. Reliance motor trucks in stripped
and fully equipped form and augmented
by a vehicle already sold to Swift &
Co. keep 6. R. Fuller busy distributing
interesting literature regarding their
merits, and the Sterling touring car,
equipped with the Seeley system of ig
nition, calls for favorable comment at
the A. N. Jung stand.
Local production is well exemplified
in the Tourist line. A model O road
ster in gray and red, a brown B tour
ing car and a black delivery wagon
make up the line. The Forty Veiie
black touring car Is the generous of
fering of the Standard Motor Car com
pany, and over in the far northeast
corner a seven-passenger 50-horse
power black beauty proclaims itself as
the only Welch at present in the hands
of the local agents. A maroon Whit
ing Twenty and a black Wescott Forty
are under the Newell-Mathewa sign,
and in the northwest space three
Waverly electrics— three-passenger
coupe, a four-passenger brougham and
a phaeton—are apt examples of their
class. A Brockway delivery wagon
goes far to make the Pioneer Commer
cial Auto company's exhibit the suc
cess it undoubtedly is.
Dealers and visitors are alike satis
fied with the results of the show, as
the many lines exhibited have been
•displayed to the best of advantage.
Special days have been set apart for
the rest of the week, and until Sunday
night at closing time everything prom
ises to be smooth riding at the Grand
avenue rink.
