SOCIETY WORLD
APPROVES SHOW
AUTOS INSPECTED BY 5000
PERSONS
FINANCIAL SUCCESS IS NOW
ASSURED
Many Object Lessons of Real Value
Are Learned from Lips of
Some Expert Demon.
strators
The "kings nnd queens" of motor
dom from their royal thrones In the
giant redwood forest witnessed a grand
pageant last night as fully 5000 cour
tiers and their ladies from the local
social world passed in review down
the broad carpeted aisles in all their
splendor of apparel. The approval of
the social set of th% Licensed Auto
show was proved by the generous at
tendance. The show management and
the exhibitors put forward their best
efforts to bring out the good points
of the machines on display, and to
impress upon the visitors that they
were viewing the hest automobile show
ever given under similar conditions and
amid such suroundlngs.
The huge amphitheater was redolent
with the rich fragrance of thousands
of flowers, and the music might have
been cadences from fairyland.
Automobiles are the. great levelers of
caste, for society is as much interested
In the mechanism of motor cars as Is
the man or woman who admires them
but never expects to own one. Con
versation overheard with salesmen and
demonstrators was not of the stilted
variety so common in other commercial
lines. They were good heart to heart
talks of one auto enthusiast with an
other.
Are Center of Interest
The chasses In the different exhibits
that showed their mechanism in opera
tion were the center of Interest. Many
sentences of these object lessons were
memorized for ready reference when
necessity requires.
The audience last night was not a
stiff array of humans in evening
clothes, but a concourse of intelligent
persons who as spokes in the pro
fessional and business world have
gravitated to their rightful place In the.
social hub.
The committee having in charge the
Licensed Auto show have much to feel
proud of In the success that has
crowned their efforts. Because of their
modesty and the great strain It would
he upon their vocal chords to crow
continuously upon the many beauties
and advantages of the show the com
mittee has gone back to first principles
and selected two fine barnyard speci
mens which have been placed nn op
posite sides of the canvas near the
manager's desk, so that thPlr clarion
music may reverberate throughout
the big tent the entire day.
Is Financial Success
The attendance at the show now as
nures it a financial success. The nearly
fifty thousand persons who have al
ready seen the big- show are the hest
boosters, so it Is reasonable to suppose
that the two remaining days will be
the banner ones in point of attendance.
Fifty times the price of admission spent
in visiting the different makes of ma
chines in their garages would not re
sult in as much information of a prac
tical nature as can be acquired In a
few hours for a four-bit piece at the
show.
SHOW SIDELIGHTS
F. C. Paulin. the Los Angeles capital
ist .purchased the new six-cylinder,
sixty-horsepower Oldsmohile as soon
as it was placed among the exhibits of
the Woolwine Motor Car company yes
terday. It is a big car with 42-inch
wheels ,and the price complete was
$4800.
Mr. Greer of the Greer-Robbins com
pany will leave Sunday for Racine,
Wls., to make a personal appeal for
more Mitchell cars, as his company Is
now forced to sell for April delivery.
An American-Simplex of the run
nbout type will be seen in the city in a
few days. This mode', was all that was
necessary to complete the line of these
classy cars.
The 30-horsepower Pullman is possibly
the stockiest car in the show, for it
exceeds In weight many of the larger
cars. It has been built to stand the
hardest usage to which any car can
be put.
Such a hold has the Flanders 20 taken
upon the public fancy that the Lord
Motor Car company reports that they
are sold up to April 15 delivery.
Visiting auto enthusiasts are much
taken with the Thorpe illustrated road
maps, which makes it possible for the
■tranger to go anywhere in Southern
California at will without danger of
being lost.
Among the automobile accessories ex
hibited the Barnard specialties fill long
felt wants to add to the comfort of
motor travel. With these little neces
saries one may enjoy all the advan
tages of ones on dressing room or den
while on the road.
LOZIERS' GREAT EXHIBIT
N'ash & Fenimore are much elated
over the public, reception of the Lozier
cars at the Licensed Show. Though
showing only five cars, their total
value is $35,000; and a good amount of
business is leing done with people who
are in the field for the high-priced
cars. Their demonstration of a stock
car chassis, in its unpolished state,
shows just what the mechanism of
every Lozier car really it. . Another
display is made of the separate parts
of the machinery, so that all parts can
be handled and inspected by those who
wish to study this particular car. The
Lozier exhibit also Includes a series of
large framed pictures of the three Lo
zier cars that for three consecutive
years finished one-two In the competi
tive events In which entered. A sale
•was made yesterday to a gentleman
sportsman, who on hunting trips will
detach the tonneau and substitute a
double canvas covered cot, extending
over the luggage carrier. This part of
the equipment is now being made.

PAMPHLET OF VICTORIES ISSUED
At the Buick booth of the auto show
they are giving away a little pamphlet
entitled "liulck Victories," on the first
page of which is the following strong
i tatement: "Regardless of price, horse
power or number of cylinders, Buick
carl have won more Important stock
car, hill climbing: and speed and endur
ance contests and made more world's
stock car records In 1909 than all other
cars combined." When asked about it
Frank S. Howard said: "We really did
not know how strong we were, and
would have hesitated to make such a
broad statement before, but Inasmuch
he 'dope' is direct from the Buick
jjotor company! we stand ready to
vouch lor it"

BUICKS HAVE BIG DAY *
■ At Fresno, March Mi the Buick model

decisive Buick day.
DIAMOND TIRES LEAD
F. O. Nelson, manager of the Dia
mond liubber company, is in receipt of
advices from his factory giving the tire
count at the recent Chicago Automo
bile show. The results more than bear
out the claim of '•eleventh year of su
premacy" in that the Diamond tires
Were shown on 112 cars, being S6 per
cent more than the next nearest com
petitor and 211 and 229 per cent more
than the third and fourth best, taix
teen makes of tires were shown.

last October resigned his position as
salesman, with the Howard Auto com
pany to go to the bedside of hi:! latel>
deceased father, will be glad to hear of

auto business a good many years and
is probably as well posted on cars in

as any man on the Pacific coast.

of the automobile of the same name,

sued for the local show.

DIAMOND TIRES BETTER
THAN EVER, SAYS MANAGER
"We have made no radical changes
in our tire for lili " said F. O. Nelson,
manager of tlio Diamond Rubber com
pany, speaking of this year's product,
"yet in many ways our tires show an
improvement that cannot but result in
greater economy and satisfaction to
the user whoso Interests we aim at all
times to conserve.
"Take the matter of removing from
crude rubber the elements tending to
produce or advance deterioration in the.
finished product. Important, isn't it.
The one and onl ■ concern succeeding
in doing this to a marked degree is
the Diamond Rubber company, and our
success in tills work has enabled us
to produce a new inner tube which we
can conscientiously say is the toughest
yet the most elastic ever turned out,
and with a compound that absolutely
defies heat and light to effect the
tube's life and usefulness.
"Our casings this year will still be
of the famous Mountain Tread con
struction, but even a little heavier and
with the tread proper brought down a
little farther on the sides to afford
still greater protection to tl'e body
against abrasions, wear and stone
bruising. The frictioning and side
walls, where jure Para rubber is used.
shows still further our ability to elim
inate deleterious elements, with the
result that still greater resiliency and
longer life is Imparted to the body.
Then again, we are the oldest manu
facturers of rubber tires in this coun
try and very naturally number in our
employ old, tried and experienced tire
makers.
"With increased experience in meth
ods of construction and manufacture,
with a still Heavier and more resilient
rii^ing as well ;is better protected and
with our new tough, resilient and ag«'
resisting tube, we enter upon the 1910
season fully confident it will be our
eleventh year of undisputed su
premacy."
