J-a Grande is forging right ahead,
As all who live here know,
And so to be right up-to-date
Will hold an Auto show.
Those who have charge are working
hard
To make it extra fine,
So any who are interested
Will please step into line.
Don't leave the work for just a few,
But each one do his part,
And make it the success, we knew
It would be from the start.
A big successful Auto Show,
One to be classed "first rate,"
"Will draw attentio to La Grande,
And likewise to the state.
