AT AUTO SHOW
Front Drive, Three Wheeled,
Five Wheeled-They're
All There
WEIRD STYLES. TOO, IN
VEHICLES FOR THE DEAD
Three Wheeled Tractor for
rse-Drawn Wagons An
other Feature

Not only will the conventional types
of four-wheeled trucks be seen during
the part period OF the thirteenth Ma
tional Automobile show in Madison
Square Garden and Grand Central
Palace. which follows the passenger
car section, but front-drive cars, three
and fvewheeled trucks and tractors
and other new and modern ideas In
construction will be exhibited
There Is one new front-drive truck
which Is SO designed that II can be
built as a fore-truck. II can be bolted
to any style or size OF horse-drakn
wagon or van and takes the place OF
team and the fore part OF the run
ming gear, making a four-wheeled ve-
hicle. While this construction makes
1t possible to concert horse vehicles
into 1-2 ton self-propelled trucks, II
Is not Intended as q tractor PROPOSE
ton. The main object Is to provide
a vehicle In which the load Is carried
mainly on steeftiresJ thereby cutting
down the annual tire bill by about
two-thirds. Other advantages OF the
system, however, are that there Is no
machinery under the frame back OF
the seat and consequently nothing to
interfere with any special construction
OF the body and rear axle that may be
desired The whole power plant,
transmission and drive mechanism are
combined in unit construction with the
front axle and wheels, which have rub
Der tires.
Another novel exhibit will be com
bination hearse and casket wagon
with plate glass windows draped with
broadcloth curtains and removable
carved wood panels. The latter can
be put to cover the windows when the
vehicle Is used as a casket car. The
rear doors are equipped with remov
able panels also, and there is a remov
able shelf extending the width an(
length Of the interior for use wher
funeral equipment is to be carried
A three-wheeled tractor for convert
ing horse-drawn fire apparatus, an,
ordinary horse-drawn trucks into pow
er vehicles will be shown again. Thi
system has been found a great econ
omy In fire department service, wher,
the costly hook and ladder trucks anC
long standpipes can be utilized in Q
motorized department simply by dis
pensing with the horses and front
wheels and axle. This tractor idea ID
spreading, and several leading truck
makers have furnished contractors
with trucks fitted with a turn-table
over the rear axle for the front end
Of the load to rest on. This turn
table takes the place Of the fifth
I wheel, and can tip In any direction,
30 as not to rack the vehicle or in
jure the load. This arrangement Is
especially useful for hauling long
timber or pipe. -
The hydraulic drive will be a unique
exhibit, chassis with the rear wheels
being raised and the drive mechanism
operated slowly by an electric motor.
This Will demonstrate how the oil
pumps drive this powerful truck with
out shock and how a single small
lever on the steering wheel serves TO

Plans For Various Auto Shows

On Jan. IL the big New York auto
mobile show will open its doors
those OF Madtson=sq. garden and the
Grand Central palace-to the prospec-
tive buyer. The Interior of Madison
So. will be transformed into q vast
palace by means of an intricate sys-
tenn OF steel construction, forming
balconies and arcades The scheme
OF decoration is reported to "surpass
anything previously attempted and
while that phrase has been used at
every show, II usually has been proven
true when the doors OF the show
opened. The Grand Central palace.
owing to its beauty OF interior, will
not need such elaborate plans as Mad
ison-sq. garden. and its chief embel-
lishments will consist OF trellis work
and floral decorations. AS in the past.
all furnishings and signs will be uni
form, so as TO form harmonious
scheme.
Motor trucks Of 1913 vantage are
TO be shown In Buffalo, y. Y, separ-
ately from the pleasure cars. The
Buffalo Automobile Trade association
has decided to stage them In the
Broadway auditorium from March Ia
to %. Pleasure cars will be shown
at the time originally proposed, Jan.

Providence, r. l., has its plans for
the coming automobile show well un-

MadisOn-sq. Garden and Grand

TO USE MORE STEEL
THAN IN A SKYSCRAPER
There Will Be 702 Exhibitors in
the Two Buildings for
Two Weeks

MONDAY will see $50 men under
take the work of rebuilding the inter
Tor OF Madison-sq. Garden TO accom-
nodate the thirteenth national auto
mobile show, which will open In that
building and the Grand Central Pal
ace next Saturday night, Jan. IL.
These 750 workmen will include steel
construction workers, decorators. car
penters, electricians, sheet metal men,
carpet layers, siRn painters elevator
builders, sculptors, telephone linemen,
painters, and men OF numerous other
trades. In all, there will be 1920 peo-
pie employed by the show manage
ment in the garden during the auto
mobile show period, in preparation
and during the show. This may seem
unbelievable TO the average show Wis
itor who naturally would wonder what
so many men could do.
A little farther up the line, few
hundred men are busy getting the
Grand Central Palace into shape for
its half OF the national show, but In
asmuch as this building VIII not have
10 have its interior entirely rebuilt,
such large army OF workmen is not
necessary. In the garden. the heav-
lest feature OF the work OF rebuilding
is the erection OF the steel pillars and
suspending the steel Orders which
support the elevated platform and ex-
ira, wide balconies. Four gangs OF
men, 25 in each gang. will have their
work out for them. Two steam hoist
ing engines and two electric hosting
engines are required for their opera
tions.
The most remarkable thing about
their work is that within three days
they erect a larger skeleton OF steel
which supports greater weight than
the steel frames OF the average office
building When one stops to consid-
er this huge network OF steel meas
ures more than onesixth OF mile
around and that more than 200 tons
OF metal and more than million feet
OF lumber enter into its makeup and
furthermore that this great inner rib
bling OF the garden can be dismatled
again within a few days after the
show is over without injuring the
building itself-one can regard the
work as truly remarkable piece OF
constructive engineering.
This has been the transformation
process at each OF the last two auto

WHO'S WHO IN AUTO CIRCLES

Commercial trucks have become a
fixture In the business world, not
only in the cities. but in the rural dis
tricts. The horse-drawn vehicle is
passing away and the self-propelled
machine Is displacing II. IL Is natural
therefore, that there are sturdy eX-
ponents of the automobile truck,
one OF them Is John II. Thompson,
president and general manager OF the
Thompson Auto Co.. which sells the
Federal, Standard and Alec trucks,
with headquarters in that section or
Woodward-ave., which is better known
as Automobile Row.
Mr. Thompson has occupied his
present position for three years. Be
fore that time he was state agent for
the Warren-Detroit car. A previous
experience in the auto parts business
equipped him with a valuable knowl.
edge OF the field In which he later en-
tered, and, according TO the number
of trucks he and other members OF
his firm sold last year, he is utilizing
this experience to the best advantage.
The prospects for 1913 are brighter
than they were IL months ago. The
company already has signed contracts
for nearly 20 0trucks. When the au-
tomobile show opens in Detroit the
latter part OF this month, the Thomp-
son company will have six models OF
the trucks 1t Is selling, on exhibition,
which. undoubtedly, will convince the
general public at once. why the trucks
are taking the palce OF the horses and
bringing the various sections closer
together so far as transportation Is
concerned.

market,
r. NJ. Lockwood, head of the for

ARRANGEMENTS have been completed
whereby the whole Of France viii now

mediate result OF the international au-
tomoblle show recently held in Paris,
and helps prove the statement that all
the representatives from the United
States appear to have been accorded
every consideration on the part or the
French motorists.
Present indications are that the sea
son of 1918 will see more cars from
this country in the hands or French
owners than any other year since the
advent OF the industry. The deal
completed by Mr.. Lockwood not only
places the product which he repre-,
sents on sale In all the provinces Oh

MOTORS WILL NOT
REPLACE HORSES
Cartercar Manager Says They
Are Not Even the Horses
Competitors

Where Is all the complaint about
the motor car displacing the horse7"
asks II. X. Radford. general man
ager OF the Cartercar Co., OF Pontiac,
Michigan. And then he answers the
question with the statement that the
motor car has a niche all its own. ana
cannot be considered q competitor OK
the horse"
When the first automobile was pro
duced, there was a terrible cry from
the farmers that the horse breeding
business would be ruined" said Mr..
Radford, "and this false understand
ing caused the country people to con-
slider the motor car antagonis4cally
for several years. Then they realised
that the motor car In It's own field
was so superior to any horse draws
vehicle that there was no comparison,
and that the horse will continue TO Do
in demand in its own sphere.
"The people are fast coming to the
realization that the horse was only 9
mere makeshift as q means OF travel
That II goes so slowly and cover
such short distances that II Is, In fact,
only waste OF time to continue the
use OF horsedrawn vehicles, where
the motor car can be used.
The motor car has made the hui
man race many times as efficient a. q
has ef-beea- before continued Mr..
Radford. Things are now possible
both In the city and country, that
could not be thought OF only few
years ago, simply because of the mo-
tor car. The farmer life Is made
pleasant and more profitable, the city
life more efficient.
The motor car Is now being used
both In winter and summer with equal
ly good results. We have hundreds
OF enthusiastic letters from Cartercar
owners, who use and profit by their
cars the entire year"
