Henderson Motor Car Co.
at Early Date.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. oct LII
order to assume the presidency and
take active part in the Henderson Mo-
tor Car Company. arrangements have
been made whereby G. P. Henderson,
director and general sales manager OF
the Cole Motor Company. will on Octo-
Der - discontinue the Cole sales work
This move Will be surprise to the
automobile industry in general, as Mi.
Henderson has directed cole sales work
and policies since the inception of that
company
This move was FASTENED by the rapid
growth of the Henderson Motor Car
Company, c. P. Henderson controlling
a large interest in that company. He
will join his brother, R. P. Henderson,
and, in becoming president Of the Hen
derson company, succeeds L. Carter
The retiring president is a Georgia
banker and has always been closely as
sociated with the HenderSons. He now
becomes chairman of the board Of di-
rectors
r. P. Henderson will continue as vice
president and general manager who,
with Secretary l.. S French, has been
actively in charge of the administra-
tive affairs of the company to date
The Henderson brothers are more
generally known to the trade as The
Hendersons of Indianapol and the
efficiency of their organiza ton is gen
orally conceded.
Perhaps the best evidence Of the rep
utation of the Hendersons is the fact
that, on their word alone as to what

I'm the last official government census,
Just published, Detroit is shown to be the

n.y. the value Of the automobiles built in
that city leading all other products. The
value of the automobiles manufactured
during that year is given in the census
as $50 $50, 600
This year the business of the Ford Mo-
tor Company alone amounted to more
than S5O000,OOO but SO, OOOO 600 less than
the value Of the entire output of Detroit
in 1909
of course, since the census was taken
In 1908 the automobile business in De-
troit has increased by leaps and bounds.
Drawing a comparison in another way,
The total value of the product of Detroit
factories Of every kind in 1909 is given
by th census as $252O0 900. but five
hines larger than the Ford business

II is estimated from figures recently

had worn off the new models. They
were no longer new This year the 1913
stuff will all be shown for the first time
under one roof. Later on New York
Chicago and Boston will have chance
to look at it. But the first showing will
be made a I Atlanta.
In many cases it is going to take hard
digging to get any 1913 cars through in
time to show at Atlanta. OF course
several of the high class cars have had
their so-called 1913 models out since
early last summer But the makers Of
popular priced cars are more conserva-
tive and many Of them will have their
1913 stuff done only just in time to slip
it into the Atlanta show. However it
is believed that every man who sells
cars in Atlanta will have his new ma
chimes ready for the exhibition, and 1t
is cinch that there will not be local
dealer worthy of attention, with per-
haps a couple of startling exceptions,
who will not make a showing of cars
at the Auditorium Armory on Novem-
Der Is to 80.
To the dealers this show means bust
ness and boosting. To the public it
means an opportunity to look, not only
at the latest and best cars, but more
over at more cars than were ever before
shown in the South.
"More Than a Million" Show.
Last year Atlanta had million dol
lar show" on the floor of the Audito-
rum We're cars worth so nearly a mill
lion dollars that there was no kicking
over the deficit. This years show will
reach nearly to the million and a half
mark. This increase in value of the
cars shown is made possible by the very
much increased space that is available
as a result of the changes which viii
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-05

be made in the Auditorium -Armory. by
the use Of the space under the seats and
by the extremely economical arrange
ment of cars that will be made neccs-
sary by the fact that there are more
applications for space than there is
space to allot.
Will Draw Soon For Space.
At he present time the show COM
mittee is getting ready to settle right
down to hard work 1t is likely that
the drawing for floor space will be
made next week. Already the decora-
tions are beginning to come in and they
easily surpass anything of the sort ever
seen before in the South,
1t seems probable now that slightly
less than 200 cars will be shown. This
can not be definitely told as yet, for
many of the exhibitors have not quite
determined as to how many models they
they will put on display 1t is hardly I
probable that the number will fall much
below 200, and it is certain to be over
IT'S
The show will be broad in its scope
Cars will be shown OF all values, from
the very cheapest up to the most ex-
pensive, from modest runabouts to elab-
crate limousines and ranging in prices
from $500 to $4,000 All varieties OF |
bodies will be shown and all colors and |
all styles of upholstery. In addition to !
the pleasure cars, which will of course,
be the most important feature, there |
will be strong showing of trucks and
commercial vehicles. The commercial
car is gradually supplanting the mule
and the horse in Dixie. and at present
the rush for business among the MAX
ers of trucks and motor wagons is more
strenuous than ever. This means that
more OF these cars than ever before will
be shown
