void.
Space In the building which Is to
be devoted to the trucks also went
well, but the great bulk OF IL will be
taken tonight, owing TO the fact that
many OF the truck concerns do not
belong TO the association. There is
plenty or room for them as this
building is 210 by 1876 feet in size.
Enough applications have been re-
ceived for space In the truck building
to justify the association In claiming
that 1t will be the biggest truck show
In the country in the 1915 season and
the biggest that ever has been held
This feature alone will attract to De

now delivery service Is the great
problem with the manufactures and

In the truck building will be shown
everything In the line OF q CONNER

things which whisk about the avenues
with a load OF 500 pounds to the pom
derous trucks which do eight miles
an hour or better when carrying 10
tons.
Just now there is much interest in
the war and its effect on America.
1t SO happens that q number of the
truck concerns In this city are work
