The photo- | graphs above bring memories of | America’s first auto show, held in the old, Madison Square Garden, | New York, in’ 1900. Visitors at this year’s shows will probably take it for granted that the new models will steer correctly. But this was not ‘the case in 1900, as indicated by picture number one. | Here the unlucky motorist is en- gaged in’ a “steering demonstra- tion,” intended to prove that it was entirely safe to put your wife and child in a “horseless carriage” and actually to go out and turn a corner. The demonstration is reported to have been a huge success! All these photographs are from the files of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, which this year is mark- ing the 60th anniversary of the de- velopment of its first Mobiloil pe- troleum lubricants for the automo- bile. Trace back the history of the modern car at this year’s auto show and you will find in the family tree the strange contraption shown in picture number two. This is one of the great-grandaddies of a 1938 model and was equipped with a door in the rear, like a street car. As indicated in picture number three, filling up with gasoline was something of a task for motorists of 20 years ago who had nearly to Photos courtesy Socony-Vacuum Oil Company i ~ i take their cars apart to find the gas tank. When you begin compatiig the old-time cars with those at this. year’s auto show, you might also compare the architecture of the.-; modern service station with that of 20 years ago, and note the improve ment, “Get a horse!” was the advice usually offered the motorist in the early days, and picture number four shows one motorist who took this advice seriously. Motorists who se- lect cars at this year’s auto shows may safely assume that they are getting cars with dependable en- gines, but the scene pictured here was typical of twenty years ago and indicates that there was a time when thé motorist had many troubles. i], 4H STYLE QUEEN i | | i | KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY i Happenings Here Just Ten Yeats Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen ; ‘The war department has order-; County commissioners will ae ed that all military reservations vertise at once fot bids on. the} § in Key West be closed to the pub- construction of waiting rooms at} lic.
