AUTO SHOW COST
WILL Be 100000.
All Motor Car Concerns and
Accessory Houses in Atlanta,
Join in the Plans.

Every automobile concern in Allan
IA and every representative of an ac-
cessory house will be represented in
the Atlanta Automobile show, which
is to be held at the Auditorium -Armory
November 1928. This was made GER
tain at the meeting and dinner which
the Automobile and Accessory assoca-
ton held last night at the Transporta-
ton club.
That the show viii be a complete
success and via be the largest exhibit
of its kind ever held in the South is
without doubt, since the plans of the
promoters have been announced.
The show is going to cost the auto
mobile men and accessory men more
than 100000, and % 600 square feet of
space will be allotted to exhibitors. AL
ready 1880 square feet have been de-
manded and checks to cover % per
cent of the cost have been fled with
the committee in charge Last night
the remaining space was taken. and
checks will be sent in today. 1t is
probable that more space will be de-
manded than the main auditorium af-
fords and that al allotments will
have to be cut down and the space pro
portioned among the exhibitors.
Business Mems Aid Asked.
A call for Atlanta business men to
get behind the show and boost it was
sent out last night, when Wylie West,
chairman of the show committee spoke
on the benefits of the show to Atlanta.
This is not a private enterprise"
said the chairman. nor is it a show
that will benefit automobile dealers
alone; it is going to advertise Atlanta,
and when Atlanta is advertised, every
line of business in the city gets boost
Now, We want all the business men
here to help US make the show a sue.

The committee win have rough
sketches made of the floor space in the
main auditorium, and the applications
will be divided into classes. Those who
ask for 1900 feet will be put in one
class and those who ask for less than

as necessary in order to KEEP the space
demands within bounds.
