Some idea how the Richmond au.
tomobile show will look like when
it is held next month may be OBJ
tanned from a brief description of
the Madison Square Garden show.
Besides the usual decorations, there
is an arrangemen of mirrors all along
the back wall of the main floor Of the
Garden that not only reflect cars ana
visitors. but fairly appear to double
the space. The general result Is an
amount of elbow room that was ap.
parent even on the opening night.
More than that the decorations were
more tasteful than usual and help out
the general effect well For once In
a while II can be said that the auto
mobile show Is not only great Ii is
beautiful
A hasty tour around the Garden on
opening night brought TO attention
several features. To begin with the
second floor, which isn't perhaps the
orthodox point of departure. the Alec
has an altogether novel exhibit. The
entire exhibition space is given over TO
a single car, which is on raised plat
form with three steps. The entire
exhibition space is carpeted and there
Is A rug lying so that it makes path
from the opening in ute roped-of
enclosure by which those interested
may enter. The car pia,form stands
so far back that II is visible clearly
rs well from the floor of the Garden
too.
The car itself has touring body
in cafe au lait with a broad wnIte
belt around IT. The wheels are IN
natural wood and finished in white.
The upholstery Is in light brown suede,
The general effect, which Is the one
striven after, Is of a de luxe car In
an exclusive setting,

rather pretty display. Multiply this
