About 1894 twenty cars were in use in the entire France. This strange and new thing for that time gave birth to the will to be exposed to the public. At the traditional exhibition "Salon du Cycle" that used to be held in January every year, in the "Wagram" hall only a modest section was assigned to the automobile. This experience was a completly failure because only two cars were presented that year.

So 10% of all the cars in the country turned up. That sounds like a success to me.
