Washington express firms prepared to move cars quickly as nations of exhibitors anticipated busy post show departures.
Taylor and many local business figures visited the auto show last night. Charles Bender received concerns over a “strictly informal and speechless banquet” while P. F. Cer of Heurich Brewing and J. D. Darnal of Rudolph & West commented on the scene. Foremost sales included Buick, Locomobile, and Oldsmobile models with Col. Treat and Ted Johnston reporting multiple Buick sells. A Baltimore trip by an Olds six-cylinder demonstrated fuel efficiency, and plans for further press coverage and a big Sunday reveal were hinted at by The Post.
