There is every indication that the auto
mobile In progress of its development Is
going TO repeat In some particulars the ms
tory OF the bicycle There are reasons now
to believe that m spite OF the fact that tue
manufacturers began their preparations Tor
1905 early and made unusual efforts to have
large stocks OF cars on hand at show tlme
there VIII be shortage OF the supply ana
that before the open season for touring ar
rives II win be- difficult to get deliveries.
The large attendance at the automobile
show IN Madison square Garden and the en-
thuslastn OF the visitors continues ana i IN
part the Justification for this prediction There
ia more substantial ground for IT however
uason on the ctrsoty canvass among the manu-
lecturers Firms which have from one to two
thousand cars on hand say that their agents
are increasing their orders aud that sales TO
individuals are being made at rate that so
far exceeded all expectation; that before
midsummer thoir stocks viii be exhausted
ana they viii be unable to catch up WITH their
orders.
II seems as II the crowd increases in size
and in It's eagcrnoss to buy as the show pro-
crosses Yesterday was the banner day
IL was difficult TO move about at any hour
while the doors were open. and the sales
made were larger than on any previous day.
1t would seem as If the public is realizing
that rush is being made for cars and all
ue anxious TO secure early delivery 10y being
uttered on the list OF purchasers
Tue preparations for big demand this
year were wholly unlike any ever made be-
