AUTO SHOW DRAWS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Greater Variety of Cars Than Any
Preceding Year; Lights and
Arrangement Better
With a greater variety of cars and
a greater number of better grade curs
than ever before, the Fifth Annual
Automobile Show of the Harrisburg
Automobile Dealers' Associations
opened Saturday evening In the
Arena-Rex building with a crowd
equal in size to the opening night last
year. And, judging from the reports
of the dealers, there were many there
with their check books ready to place
their order for some model to be used
as soon as the coming Spring sun
shine makes ideal conditions for mo
toring. From the time the doors
opened at seven o'clock In the even
ing until they closed at 10.30, there
was a continuous stream of spectators
plowing through the aisles of the two
adjoining buildings. The clear, favor
able weather conditions seemed to put
everybody in a good humor, as well as
in a mood to make a careful examin
ation of the exhibits. Most of the
"show cars" aro practical vehlbles, de
signed for a specific use, and taken out
of regular factory stock to be exhibit
ed. after which they will be turned di
rectly to the customer.
The exhibits nre get-at-able, and ex
aminations can be made with remark
able facility. What is better yet, visit
ors discovered at once that what there
•wa sto see was well worth seeing. The
opinin was general that never before
had there been gathered together In
this vicinity such a remarkable collec
tion of cars, accessories and parts as
are now on view.
It was to have been expected that an
advance would have been made in the
mechanical features of the cars shown.
But that there should have been such
lemarkable progress made in bodv de
sign and construction has caused' sur-

MONDAY EVENING,
prise and much favorable comment.
There was a very general expression |
of pleasure, frequently combined with ]
surprise, at the show as a whole. Any .
fears that may have been entertained j
as o tho exhibition suffering by com
parison with previous shows were dis
sipated almost at first sight. Consider-|
ed from the standpoint of a well-ar- .
ranged and dignified showing of the
product of the automobile industry, the
Harrisburg exhibition is an undoubted I
success.
An Interesting feature of the Harris- |
burg Automobile Company's exhibit is |
a large framed picture, or rather a :
series of pictures, showing the evolutin |
of Reo, The Fifth. It shows R. E. Olds,
tho designer, as a boy. und the first I
horseless carriage designed by Mr. Olds ]
in 1886. Also an illustration of cars;
built in 1896, 1897 and 1899. The first i
side-entrance auto designed by It. E.
Olds was exhibited at Madison Square
Garden in New York in 190;t is lucid- I
ed in this group together with a pho- !
tograph showing the graceful deign of
the 1914 Reo. And beside the easel
stands tho real Ilea which is the j
Fifth. Its elegance of design, mecluini- |
cal efficiency und modern refinements: •
In striking contrast to tho crude but!
basic ideas of the early designs, and a
climas of R. E. Old's engineering i
achievements; an embodiment of the
designer's twenty-eight years of
thought and experience as an automo
bile manufacturer.
Another interesting feature of tho
Harrisburg Automobile Company's ex
hibit is the Haynes car with the electric
gear shift. This eliminates the neces
sity of shifting gears by lever and
makes It so simple to operate that
a child can operate the car.
Maxwell Motor Cars
Back in This Territory
Miller & Alter, of New Bloomfleld,
are the special representatives for the
Maxwell cars In thsi vicinity. Two
of the models are displayed at the
local show. In speaking of the recep
tion awarded the Maxwell at the New-
York show, Sales Manager C. F. Red
den said:
"Every few minutes we have to
ask the good people to move on and
clear the aisle in front of our booth
lest wo s»'ot In bad with the manage
ment," said tho sales manager glee
fully. "Lust show time—why then we
were glad to have an occasional one
drop In accidentally even though he
hurried away as soon as he discov
ered what booth it was.
"And our organization—note the
enthusiasm with which every man
works. How patiently—and I may
say learnedly—each explains the var
ious mechanical features of the car.
"A year ago to-day our organiza
tion was the best imitation of a Mex
ican Federal army one could imagine.
It wasn't an organization; it was a
badly scattered, badly scared mob.
And all because the methods of tho
'lion tamer' had been injected into it
fora time.
"But we'll forget that. It was only
| momentary—and this has all the ear
marks of permanency, if I am any
jjudge of appearances.
"But to-day, look at that crowd.
! Listen to that enthusiasm. "We have
| come from tag end to the van in a
jyifar, and I guess that's- going some."
HE FOUND HIM
In a class of twelve boys one of
them had broken a school rule, but
none of them would own up to being
guilty or tell on tho one they knew
had committed the offense.
"I will thrash every boy in the class
j until I find the offender!" announced
! the teacher.
So he began and had whipped eleven
!of them. "Now, if you will tell mo
who did this I 'won't thrash you."
"All right, sir," was the quick an
swer, "I did it." —In National Monthly.

CltN A CUR STUY NEW
FOR FIVE !II!S?
R. E. Olds Says Reo the Fifth
Should Do That in Nearly
Every Instance
George G. McParland, who sells Reo
the Fifth, says that R. E. Olds is the
greatest extremist in America to-day
regarding well-built cars. In a late
announcement he says: "Men buy Reo
the Fifth on past records. And it will
always be so. What men say of new
cars counts for little. All new cars
run well. lam building each car for
what men will say after it has run
five years. I owe all my success to
building cars which stay new."
This is the factory which puts each
new model to a test of 10,000 miles.
At the end of that test the car is taken
apart and inspected. If any vital part
shows more than slight evidepce of
wear, that part is displaced in the en
tire output by a part which won't show
wear.
This 10,000 miles of reckless driving
is considered equal to five years' aver
age And Mr. Olds figures that
Reo the Fifth, with proper care,
should show up in live years just as
well as these test cars.
