LOCAL AJfD I'ISRSOXAL
I established my office with tho Idea
ot uniting unusual donttil olflcloncy
with modern business methods. I hnvo
have not sought to clioapon dentistry,
but to lower the actual cost of it. My
work is guaranteed against any defect
of materials or workmanship. I have
successfully practiced dentistry In
North Platto for ten years and served
hundreds of people to their entire sat
isfaction. With the long experience I
havo had and tho dlvorslty of cases I
havo handled, you can readily see that
you would secure much bettor than
Ordinary JDontnl Sorvlco. I specialize
in making and sotting any sfze bridge

North Platte's first auto show open
ed last evonlng auspiciously, notwith
standing tho counter attraction at tho
Koith thoatjo, and the auto doalors
demonstrated beyond nuostlon tholr
ability to put on a show that Is not only
crodltable to themselves but to North
Platto. The attendance was really
larger than had been anticipated, and
ther"e was not a visitor present who
did not express satisfaction with what!
ho or she saw and many compliments
were heard relative to the decorations
and the ehtortalnment given by tho
sevoral aggregations of talont.
The doors of tho show were thrown
open yostorday afternoon to tho school
children and they wore admitted froo.
Hundreds of children took advantage
of this coutesy extended them by the
management.
Tho decorative appointments sur
pass anything ever attempted In North
(Platte, In fact the otherwise barren
hall has been transformed into a
dreamand.l The ceilng, the sidewalls
and the stage have boon covered with
crepe paper of illuminated designs,
there is not a squaro Inch of wood
work noticeable to the eye. Domas
handsomely decorated and studded
with myriads of electric lights aro
susponded from the celling, original
dreamland. The ceiling, tile sidewalls
walls and the balcony, and at inter
vals aro decorated newel posts sur
mounted by frosted .electric globes
Hidden beneath decorations are elec
tric lights which bring forth more
clearly the decorative design, and look
where you will, in nook or in corner
you will discover somo littlo unltiuo
decoration that only tho master mind.
or an artistic decorator could con
celve and ensemble. It was the prom
ise of tho managers that tho hall
would be a dreamland, and that prom
ise has been fulfilled. Those splendid
decorations were designed and exe
cuted by. Mr. Retinger, pf Omaha, an
sisted by Guy Popojoy of this city.
Both tho floor and stage, tho settings
of the latter having boon removed, ara
used for display purposes, and every
Inch is filed with cars that smno re
splendontly in tholr newness, and to
the auto "prospect" must certainly
look alluring and make him feel that
ho really needs a new car, or if he
never possessed ono that he should bo
the owner of ono. In tho exhibit are
represented many makes and many
models from tho Ford runabout to tho
medium priced Maxwell, Chevrolet,
Overland and Dqdgo and the higher
omcod Bulck,01dsinobllo. Eaigd, Nash
MitCheil, Steams-Knight, Chandler
and other makes. And then. In ad
dition are the trucks, both Inside and
outsldojthe hall, a splendid, variety of
the machines that aro sotfapldly solv
Ing the transportation prdblom for the
farmer and others.
Occupying the center of the floor Is
the flying machine, tho handiwork of
L. O. McGraw, of this city. This is an
exact reproduction of tho De Havlland
plane, which is equipped vwith a 400
horse power motor. The miniature
model is perfect in every detail, tho
motor actually runs, and visitors to
the show will find Mr. McGraw ready
to expaln In 'detail thq workings ot
the piano.
In tho entertainment line there are
the Poerless Trio of Sioux City, the
Musical walkers and an orchestra
these furnishing a program that
woll worth the price of admission. In
fact very visitor to the shdw is givon
his money's worth by the manage
mcnt.
