Estimates based on Increased at attEndance attendance attendance at- at at the national shows this year as compared with former years place the probable attendance at the Salt alt Lake show in excess of persons persons per- per sons according to Manager Rishel Of this number he expects between eight and ten thousand visitors from the rural sections ns because of special rate rate I inducements granted by the railroads and because of th the keen interest manIfested manifested manin man man- in all sections as to what the tho 1922 show will disclose That there will be a number of great surprises Sprung upon all fans at the show is generally admitted And since to explain explain ex- ex plain these in ad advance van co would kill kUl their lf effectiveness those dealers with something something some some- thing il to offer are keeping ex extremely extremely ex- ex tr quiet t on these ma matters One thing is certain there will be a amore amore amore more general offering of exhibits at atthe atthe atthe the big Eastern shows earlier in the year ear than has been the case formerly Each season the practice of sending out the same exhibit as was on display display dis dis- play in New York and Chicago has grown in favor among the factories a and a survey of the local field assures assures as- as r cures a considerable number of such entries this year according to ManS Manager Man Man- S ager eger Rishel These unable to secure such concessions will model their display display display dis dis- dis- dis play after accounts of v same exhibit exhibit exhibit ex ex- ex- ex hibit at the big shows It is said so that to a It greater gretter degree than ever b before fore the 1922 show here will be a pattern of the more pretentious expositions expositions' expo expo- So determined are the dis dis- dis to set a record breaking pace next week that they have built bunt up a keen rivalry airy in an effort to outdo each other and enthusiasm runs high This enthusiasm 13 is a reflection of the confIdence confidence confidence con con- shown by Eastern heads of the automotive automotive- industry whose faith in 1922 being a banner year has already led them into expenditures for re- re and stan standardizing ar plan plants and for the erection of more capacious and even new factories in th the tha face of genral gen- gen I ral economic depression CONFIDENCE cO JUSTIFIED l I lAnd I And this confidence was Justified I when sales lists for foi the national ex exhibits ex- ex hibits were totaled showing both both I r record cord breaking attendance and aggregate agree agree- I gate sales running way ahead of any previous year ar Both of these the so eventualities eventualities eventualities eventual eventual- were vere ir in the tho natural co course course rs of events and economically to have been expected Rishel l declares Prices on all automotive vehicles are arc way down lower in comparison to the product a a. better value than at any previous time Trade indications also point to prices b being lower than they will bein bo be boin boin in 1923 when it is expected that ab absorption fib fib- b- b sorption of or output will bring product production t lion tion on nearer to the consumption level For Tor these reasons potential car buyers buyers buyers buy buy- ers not already owners of ot which there is is' an estimated eight or ten million inthe Inthe in inthe the nation are expected to come into the market during the next few months And this expectation did de develop develop develop de- de in the Eastern centers Salt Lake has always followed the rational shows Rishel l declares Through fifteen years of annual ex exhibits exhibits ex- ex hibits there thero has lias never been a time when the results of the tho Eastern shows were not close to the results of the shows show s held here a few weeks later The tl trend nd East since the exhibits last month was to a havy increase In sales and reports show that the tho first two months of the year rear ear will wUl bear out the tho prediction of a general revival In the Industry Industry- With that criterion to Judge from depression is past and in addition addi addition tion to being the greatest bargain show ever offered the motor fans of the West gest the Salt Lake show will be bea bea bea a great together get-together Jubilation on the part of those dealers who have weathered weathered weathered ered the storm CLOSED CAR MODELS Among tho the decided features at the tho show will be th the closed car models de developed developed developed de- de during the year ear by many of the leading makers These new closed types are e a essentially lly well built but light and well well lined making them far more attractive than closed types of I former years Increased visibility cheaper maintenance e secured through a redu reduction in wear and conveniences that make them decidedly an sea all-sea- son eon car are among the innovations featured One interesting development In this regard is the preparations being made by producers to increase closed car production by nearly double that of last season The twenty eighty-twenty ratio between open and closed cars is doomed designers declare and the they base baso this opinion upon tipon pon the fact that with the tho elimination n of objectionable features in the old style closed vehicle vehicle vehicle ve ve- hicle the new car should have a general general gen gen- eral d demand mand in the major portion o of the nation Only a few sections are so as to make the open car both convenient convenient convenient and comfortable throughout the year vear Hence they argue buyers who can afford but one car will be certain certain certain tain eventually to pick the type which can tan serve them best under all condI- condI tons And th there re is no question that for an year all-year car the new closed types are superior to anything yet of offered of- of The open car however ever has not lost its supremacy and prestige established over a gell generation rat on of use It has al always always always al- al ways been in high favor even under the most rigorous conditions and its ad adherents adherents adherents ad- ad will not forsake it over night SOME INNOVATIONS The accessory y features of the present present present pres pres- ent show will run Into manifold devices devices devices de de- de- de vices for either comfort or economy in car operation Some sensational innovations are scheduled to be displayed displayed displayed dis dis- played here for the first time next week Tho The dispute that has existed among motor fans as to the best make of c car r has as decidedly been lacking in considering the accessories Nearly all aU motorists can agree as to what lIttle lit littie little lIt lIt- tle tie discomforts or mechanical Imperfections imperfections imperfections imper Imper- need most to be remedied And I Ifor for this reason it has always been i thumbs down on a new device within a few weeks of its first appearance But all In all there seems to be els no question that from every angle t this seasons season's show will be more InterestIng interest- interest lag Ing and more successful than any previous attempt And that the motorcar motorcar motorcar mo mo- is annually becoming more se securely securely securely se- se as a necessity in the lives Uve-s of great numbers of American citizens cannot be doubted Combine these facts with tremendous bargain prices the wonderful values of motor motor motor mo mo- tor vehicles today and
