sale OF the old structure some time ago
for the purpose of erecting an Office build
ing on the site. has been removed by the
official announcement that the twelfth Ma

or pleasure vehicles while commercial
vehicles. electric carriages and motorcy-
cles VIII be shown in the Part II period,
lasting from January Is to %. Nomprehen-
sive displays of accessories will he includ-
ed at both exhibitions.
The amount OF preliminary detail to be
attended TO I'm bringing about the culmi-
nation of finished automobile show is so
big that the committee began its work sew
ersl months ago. The decorative schemes
and arrangements for spaces, which are
the most important things TO be considered
In an exhibition Of this kind, have held
the attention Of the committee TOR months.
The special steel and metal construction
work. which was used extensively In the
decorative plan at the last show. will again
be used throughout the building.
