North from the Atlantic to the Lakes,
and Virginia the South to the Missis'

ideas and English liberty in North
America was almost an accident. Co

F0R.EARLY AUTO SHOW
NOVEHBER DATES CHOSEN
Licensed Manufacturers Decide to
Make q CHANGE.

E H. Cutler, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Association of Licensed AutomO-
bile Manufacturers announced yesterday that
the annual automobile show would be held from
October 81 to November this year. instead OF
in January, as heretofore.
This announcement clears up the uncertainty
and speculation which have been prevalent re-
garding, the show situation in New York AT
the last meeting of the board of managers Of
the association it was unanimously agreed to
have an early show if suitable dates could be
arranged. The licensed association had an
option on Madison Square Garden for automo-
bile shows for two years, and it was only
question of an arrangement of dates to proceed
for an early show Negotiations were COM
pleted on Saturday. and arrangements made for
the week of October 81 TO November {.
The success Of the last show in the Garden
where the attendance was so great that 1t was
necessary to increase the admission on two
days to ST. has suggested the possibility Of
ten-day show. The ACCESSIBILITY of this is sun
under consideration by the association.
