PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 5.-The
| drawings for floor spaces for members of
| the Philadelphia Automobile Trade Asso-
citation for its twelfth annual show, to
| be held from January IS to February 1,
under one roof in the new building of the
| Automobile Club of Philadelphia, on 23d
street between Market and Chestnut, were
| held at the headquarters of the trade
association last week.
Nearly every one of the sixty active
| members of the association was repre-
scented, and practically all of them drew
for space, representing more than Sixty
different makes of leading gasoline pleas
ure cars and six makes of electric pleas
ure cars, these drawings representing the
exhibits for the first week of the SHOW
The drawings for the second week, Tor
the commercial car exhibit. will be held
later. Along with the drawings for the
pleasure car exhibit were held also those
for the accessories. which have the privl-
lege of continuing their exhibits through
out the second week, as they occupy the
spaces around the sides of the room ON
the third floor and do not conflict in any
way with the car exhibits.
The representation OF participants at
the drawings was gratifying in the ex-
IRENE to the management of the snow, as
it evidenced that practically all OF the
leading cars in the country would De on
v.
would be exhibited by non-members OF
the association, of which quite NUMBER
are expected. as there is sufficient noor
space available still to accommodate
them, an advantage that the association
is glad to offer them, as they desire the
show to be as representative of the auto
mobile products of the world as any eX-
hibit in the country this winter. Ihey
are particularly pleased to be able TO
show electric pleasure cars along win
Loo
the logical one and the most advan-
tageous to all concerned.

The drawing as given above gave the
greatest satisfaction to the partlcipants
owing to the admirable distribution OF the
cars which provides an equally interest
ing exhibit for all three floors The show
committee has arranged for express ele-
vator service from the first to the third
| floor, SO that the public can reach the
| top floor with the greatest ease and can
| use the stairways for coming down, Civ
| ing them the chance to see the entire
show without stair climbing

| Of the electric cars is bound to be greatly
increased, as we'll as that Of foreign cars.
