land but few cars will be shown that
are not equipped in the most up-to-date
manner, One of the things that will ap-
peal to the prospective motcrist is the
self-starter. Nearly every car on the
market this year will be found equipped
with some style of self-starter, while
either full electrical equipment or COM
bination oil and electric lights VIII be
found embodied in other cars" --.-
According to reports, there Will be
more factory representatives at the
show than ever before. This is due TO

pretentious in proportions, more elabo-
rately designed and arranged, and more
representative of modern standards in
motor vehicles and equipment than any
