1 1920. r THE OMAHA' SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 7, S A, DLARE OF HORNS MARKS CLOSE OF MOTOR DISPLAY Hi i Hi. . .r Motor Maniacs Make Merry As Doors Close Upon Record-Breaking, Automo- : bile Exposition. . Blaa-a-alM . ' v With the horns of everyone of the scores of cars on display blaring madly, the orchestras playing it the peak of their power and hundreds of exhibitors, salesmen and visitors trying to make their shouts heard above the din, the 15th annual Oma ha Automobileshow the greatest in the city's historyended last nigh.t. ' , V, ' "Auto bedlam," by whww jOev the noisy" celebration was known, was all that had been predicted for it in the way of unusual sound. "Sounds, like a warning for the com bined gas attacks of the -next three wars," a veteran of the recent dis turbance said. " ' i The celebration began with the singing of America by all present, led by Charles Gardner. The end of the singing was the signal for the beginning of the racket, and no one present felt himself cheated in the volume of sound produced. At 10:30 the show ended as far asvisitors were concerned, and began in earn est for-Ah mechanics and stockmen from the. 4ocal .jraraflres, who swarmed Onto the floors ami accom plished the dismantling of exhibits andTemoval of cars. Exhibit Field Maneuvers. The removal of cars and decora , tious was carried to a finish in 'the most approved military style with l'ield Marshal Clarke G. Powell di recting the maneuvers through hiaJ , staff of able aides. The best prac tices of field operations were ap . plied; obstructions, such as potted . ' palms, electroliers, railings and aUle markers "were cleared away first Then proper avenues of ad vance were selected, and with the lines of communications established, the march to auto row was begun. , At the word of command each set of show cars wheeled into line as those nearer the door passed out At the same time electricians and decora tors were removing the electrical in stallations and wall decorations. Work continued until a late hour. New Record In Retail Sales. "Every day, andi sometimes, sev eral times during a single day, wc 'have been surprised by some new - development this year,'' Mr. Powell said. "But as I look back on the - wefk, it seems to me the outstand ing feature has been the number of retail-sales this year. There were many during former chows, but never anything like the volume the dealers have had this year, i "Another development ofthe year f was the interest out of town deal ers showed. More appeared to makfe their yearly contracts at tne snow than ever before, and their buying was the heaviest the business has : ever known To put a figure on the amount ' of -sale J, both retail and wholesale is impossible, but I feel safe in saying that for the week they exceeded $1,000,000. "Nextyyear we're going to try to beat the 1920 exposition, but-you can take my xvord for it that will be Borne job. We certainly are sat isfied' with this one and tan't think Of a thing to complain of" , Near East Campaign Will Be Continued The Camp Fire Girls, assisted by Mis. Conrad Young, Mrs. Robert E.
