rest assured that the show will be
repeated again next year. Every
dealer who exhibited here has either
made direct sales at the show or
has secured prospects enough to
warrant busy summer.
In the first place we never entered
the show with the expectation of
selling cars right off the floor and
those who have been fortunate
enough to do this-and there are
many of them-ean consider them
selves doubly fortunate.
THE show is given. in order to
get the buyers together and permit
them to judge for themselves. Many
of these have been considering some
make of car. and the show has aided
them in making their selection at
this time. This will afford the
dealer an opportunity of disposing of
his cars early in the spring. Other
wise the prospective purchas ser might
delay matters until such time as
would not permit the dealer to lay
his plans for the summer"

ders for cars show, and the many
prospects should keep the dealers
