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" ,
