Deputy Consul General Carl r. Loop
describes the most successful ever
given tho annual Olympia show held re-
Gently in London under the auspices of
the British Society of Motor Manufac-
turers and Traders. He says:
Although the show is becoming a so
cial event of the horse show variety it
presents an excellent opportunity for
prospective buyers to compare the vari-
Gus cars on exhibition and for dealers to
present the merits of their machines
The attendance was remarkable, being

exceeding last year by HIGH. and caused
the suggestion that one or two days be
set apart with an admission fee suffi-
GENTLY large to exclude all but prospec-
tive buyers. most striking trade fea-
ture was that approximately so per cent
of the cars exhibited were moderate
priced, showing the demand for that
class. notwithstanding the undiminished
demand for the higher priced cars.
The American-made car can hardly be
said to enjoy the favor in England that
1t deserves, largely because early intro
auctions were not well built and did not
last long. If American manufacturers of
we'll constructed automobiles would COM
pete for trade in this country they must
disarm the Englishman of his prejudice
and meet the prices of domestic makes.
They must be prepared to supply repairs
locally and without delay. which involves
the establishment of branch houses with
American representatives in charge. The
