twelfth annual national automobile show
to be held in January in the Grand Gen.
trail Palace, New York, and work on the
preliminary details is progressing rapidly.
More than seventy manufacturers OF
complete vehicles have contracted for
space to display their newest models for
the coming year. Half Of the number
are builders OF motor delivery wagons
and trucks, many Of which are new to
the general public. Twenty different
makes of these work machines never have

business is growing SO fast that new
companies are being organized every week
to manufacture commercial and Industrial
vehicles.

for the Palace" show, in which pleasure
and commercial cars will be displayed at
