More than forty different makes OF
passenger cars, eighteen different
makes of commercial vehicles, and
close to half a hundred exhibitions In
the accessory department will be on
display. The estimated aggregate
value of the exhibits has been placed
al 81 ,0O0, 600. Some of the booths Will
display only standard models, while
others have contracted for several
spaces SO that they may Show entire
lines, from the runabout TO the
stately limousine. There VIII be cars

Saxon, selling at 1895, to the luXuri-
ously upholstered and magnihcently-
equipped Pierce Arrow inclosed cars
that sell for $4,000 and $1,000 each,
There will be a host of medium priced
models between these two limitations
Then there are the cyclecars, the
latest recruits to moturdom. SeNeral
different makes of these are prom
ised. and. with Jerseys famous road
beds, suite a business should be de-
veloped for these little brothers OF
the auto. There is much curiosity
over the cyclecars, and 1t Is safe 10
saw that they will attract as mueh
attention as the larger models.
The entire west side of the armory
has been set aside for the housing OF
the commercial vehicles. The demand
for space in this section of the snow
was SO great that the management
found ii necessary to change It's plans
at the last moment and provide addi-
finnaI room for the display of the
business vehicles. The fact that the
pleasure cars and commercial VehlcleS
are shown under one roof and at the
sar ne time makes the Newark show OF

The fact that Newark is the me-
tropoIis of New Jersey, where there
are vast manufacturing establish
ments centered, and in addition,
draws on the wealthy suburban
population of more than 100000 peo-
pie in the Oranges, Montclatr. Chat
ham. Madison. Summit, Bernards-
vile, Nutley and Elizabeth, makes
the Newark show particularly attrac-
tive for the man who has cars to sell.
Then. too, there is the dealer with
State rights. who is anxious to make
sub-agency connections, and for the
latter purpose the Newark show is
ideal While many Jerseymen at
tend the big show in the metropolis
it is generally with the view of MAX
Ing a brief examination of the cars
displayed and getting advance infor-
nation, catalogues and other data.
These are mulled over pending the ar
rival of the Newark show. and then
the enthusiast is ready to place his
order with his own local dealer, where
ne will be assured of prompt and eff
fclent service should 1t be needed
from time to time.
Manager Horace A. Bonnell is par
ticularly pleased about this years
show. The advance indications point
TO a record breaking attendance,
similar to what has been experienced
by all of the other shows held this
year. He has just returned from a
trip through tho West. after attend
ing the Chicago show. and says that
everybody is talking good business"
out there. and that those who are in
q position te know predict that there
will even be a shortage of cars this
season If the present heavy demand
keeps UP.
The Newark show is being held I'M
der the management Of the New Jer-
sey Automobile Exhibition Company,
which Is made up of the dealers in
this section of the State The enter
tainment committee has outdone 1t

vited to be present, and 1t is esti-
mated that no less than 5000 of

dition to the regular visitors to the
show.
'.'Governor's Night viii be on
Wednesday, when Governor Fielder
and his staff have been invited 10
be present. This night has generally
been known as Society Night" and
il is expected that the social set OF
Newark and it's environs Will be out
in force. Cold lace and handsome
gowns make a pleasing picture, and
with thu display of beautiful cars as
a background the sight should be one
long to be remembered.
