PAGft SEVEN
AMERICAN LEGION TO
PUT ON AUTOMOBILE
SHOW LAST OF WEEK
Latest Thing in Motors and Mechanical Devices
Will Be Exhibited Dancing to Follow
Exhibits on Thursday, Friday
f and Saturday Nights
Klamath Fulls, through the energies of the American
Legion post, will be treated to one of the most complete
automobile shows that the city or county has ever seen ;
an automobile show that will put all the past' efforts to
Hhame and will give to the motorists the latest thing in
four-wheel brakeR, balloon tireB and cut glass wind
shields. A motorist, if he is an energetic and enthusi
astic one, is more finicky about his car, more particular
about the purr of his motor, more precise in the hitting
of his cylinders than an old hen with a brood of chicks.
Did you ever see in one of these surplus comedies, the
proud owner of a Ford come out of a garage, fit for a
Packard, brush it up carefully and act like a nurse maid
about its care? There is more to that than a good laugh
producer; the man who directed that picture knew how
to get under people's skins, he knew how to touch and
play on the heartstrings of the fond papa of a Ford
coupe. In other words, the director "knew his stuff"
when it came to bringing pathos to the owner of an auto
mobile. That is one reason why an automobile show, is
such a success. It is to a man like a showing of spring
millinery is to a woman.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in the
new Johnson garage on Eighth and Klamath, the Legion
will sponsor the show at which the many automobile
films and agencies will take part. Shops that carry auto
mobile accessories, will also, be represented and there
will be booths for inspecting the latest in car devices.
For the entire success of the show credit is due the
American' Legion, for they have worked unceasingly to
make the affair one of the most complete that has been
given in this section of the countiy. The new garage is
a spacious one and through the courtesy of Johnson
brothers, should add to the affair's success. Following
the shows each evening there will be dancing until mid
night. . ....
Out should come all the automobile fans, lovers of the
wheel and the skiddy tire, to flock to the American
Legion automobile show on Thursday, Friday and Satur
day nights, to make the affair the biggest and best ever
given in Klamath Falls. ; '
