The president of the New Jersey Automo-

Announcement is made this week by the
management of the local automobile show,
which is to be held in Electric Park
Auditorium, February q TO %, that upon
the close of the show all of the exhibitors
will have part of the money which they
paid for their spaces refunded from me
profits. 1t is understood that the per-
centage to be given back, II the snow Is a
success, is 20 per cent,
All plans for the show are maturing
satisfactorily, the committee now being
hard at work upon the decorating ana
advertising features. Leases for the park
auditorium were signed with C. A. Dunlap,
owner of Electric Park, at the meeting or
the general committee, held Thursday
night. Within another week the advertis-
ing campaign which IS TO bring the show
before the people of the State Will pc
started. and from then until the week OF
the salon everything will be done 10 IN
terest the general public.
From applications that have thus far
been received from dealers in this State
and New York there seems no doubt OUT
what every exhibition booth viii be taken
and 1t will be more a question of OBTAIN
ing additional space than that OF hndlng

interior fittings of the auditorium will be
the most elaborate and spectacular ever
seen in this vicinity. The cars Will be
spaced off on canvas-covered floor, each
booth having a uniform sized sign, when
will be lighted by electricity. The ceiling
and sides of the hall will be covered with
bunting and some 1000 electric lights will
be used in obtaining light effects.
Some question has arisen as to the in
corporation of the New Jersey Automobile
Exposition Company for the management
OF the show. This is explained in an an
nouncement given out to the press last
night. Under the charters of the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club and the
New Jersey Automobile Trade Association
neither organization can take part in or
hold an exhibition for the purpose of
monetary gain. hus 1t would have been
impossible for either body of motorists to
have participated in the management Of
the show. The exhibition company was
incorporated by eight members Of the two
rova ti1offonr four from tho Automobile
and Motor Club and four from the trade
association. None OF these incorporators
will receive one cent of dividend from
their stock, and It is distinctly understood
that the show is being given for the benefit
of the trade in general and not for the
individual profit of a few persons. All
applications for space will be in the hands
of the allotment committee Monday night,
and the drawing for booths will be carried
out Monday evening.
