Overcast mild day. Arose 9 A.M. Breakfast etc. Read paper. Out on business. Dinner. Father & I glued up furniture. Supper. Dressed up. Father & I to automobile show in armory. Good display. Fine decorations & music. Home. Talked. To bed 11:30 P.M.
**********
The automobile show was a big event in Schenectady. Stanford offers a rare opinion on the experience that includes the decorations and music. Below is an ad for the auto show that appeared in the February 6th newspaper (erroneously giving 4 Feb as the first night), and excerpts from the following day's report that describes parts of the event, especially a detailed list of the music that was played. What impressed me about this show was the number of different makes of passenger cars available then. Today there would be far fewer than 50 on display.
