BE THE LARGEST EVER
Interesting Exhibit of "Reics'
of By-GOne Days Are
Promised

While IL is the dull season as far as
actual business is concerned, things
are cumming in the local automobile
community, for the annual snow
starts on Jan. 16, and 1t is no simple
task 70 round up everything FOR al
exhibit of such proportions.
After the drawings for space in the
buildings there was some left and
Manager Walter Wilmot has been
showing to those who were not in line
early the advantage of being among
those present. That he has succeeded
beyond expectations is shown by the
fact that all OF the space in the auto
mobile building has been taken, while
very little is left in the big structure
which is given over to commercial
vehicles and gas engines OF various
types.
More than twice as much space is
under contract than in the case OF any
other show and this will enable the
exhibitors to display more models OF
their cars than in the past. The auto
mobile show itself will be complete
and one of the best of the season.
The truck show will be the biggest
ever held as 20 firms will show com
mercial vehicles ranging from the
smallest special delivery rigs TO the
powerful trucks capable of hauling 10
tons in any kind OF weather.
In addition there will be the big
gest display of accessories Detroit ever
has known or will be seen outside of
the other national shows at New York
and Chicago. All the latest things
in the way Of lights, tops, horns, ETC.,
and many conveniences and COM
forts that add to motoring pleasure
will be found In the booths which oc-
cupy the wall spaces on one floor of
the automobile building
The assembling OF the veteran cars,
first models from several factories, is
progressing satisfactorily and it will
be the greatest exhibit of these rel
les" ever known. The famous racing
cars of other days and the pioneer
one ana two-cylinder passenger cars
Will be opposite some of the cleverest
of the 1915 models, which fact will
furnish the fuel for plenty of CONVEX
sation.
Just now the mammoth new build
ingS of the Detroit Lumber company
on West Jefferson-ave. between Camp
bell and JuIction-aves., where the
show will be held, are in the hands OF
the artists and carpenters who are to
put them In shape and do the decor
ating. The scheme OF Identification
Is most elaborate and when the doors
formally open to the public it is GER
tam that those who have come from
New York and Philadelphia, which
hold exhibits during the first two
weeks of the month, will pronounce
this the picture show of the year. The
man In charge OF the decorating is
working out plan which will make
one OF the floors in the automobile
building something far and away
ahead of anything ever done.
All details have worked out so nice
ly that the directors of the Detroit
Automobile Dealers association are
satisfied that they will be able to
give Detroit show which is a credit
to the most famous city in the wonder.

more than a year Goodyear has been

work on customers trucks since
March last. None has as yet been
worn out and several have had over
5000 miles to their credit and are still
going.
AT this stage Goodyear has confined
its attention to three popular" truck

per tire $500, and 48x12. carving
