Automobile Shows
Have Come to Stay
That the automobile shown always will
he with us Is the opinion of Wayne K
Dromley, secretary and treasurer of the
company that builds Pathfinder "40 '
motor cars at Indianapolis. ,
"The automobile show may well bo re
garded as the big brother of the old-tlnie
market place." bays Mr. Uromley, who
Is fresh from the New York and Chicago I
shows, where the Pathfinder line gained
immediate recognition among fussy metro- ;
polltan motor critics. j
"The automobile show gives the buyci
an opportunity to come to tho appointed j
placo and see with Impartial eyes the
whole gamut of motor cars, foreign and j
domestic, from which ho may select one ;
for his own use.
"It is a time for announcements, large
display advertisements, if you will a j
time when the manufacturer meets the
multitude, tells his story, shows his
wares and takes his chance In competi
tion with the very best on tho market.
"Builders ol motor cars are reallzlm;
more and more the futility of . going to
tho automobile show with an Inferior
product. If he rain' I how up every si-1- 1
son with good stuff, he had better stay ,
awry. j
