manufacturers of the country send ap-
proximately $1,000,000 worth of auto
mobiles to Cincinnati purely for ex-
hibition purposes. This annual Mil
lion Dollar Auto Show" will be given
this year, as heretofore, at Music Hall,
under the auspices of the Cincinnati
Automobile Dealers Association, an
organization of local representatives
and distributors whose operations are
not limited to Cincinnati, but who do
business with dealers in various por-
tions of Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia
and Kentucky.
This years Million Dollar Auto
Show opens on Saturday, February
81, when the classiest and most popu-
lar makes of pleasure cars will be
shown, this department continuing un-
til Saturday, February %. On March
2, the following Monday, a supple
mentary show, devoted entirely to the
display and exploitation of motor
trucks and general service vehicles,
will be inaugurated, to run for a Pc
Rod of three days.
The fact that this years exhibition
has been split up into two sections
is due to the extraordinary demand for
space, the number and magnitude of the
displays of both pleasure cars and
service trucks exceeding those Of pre-
vious years. This means that pros
pective buyers, whether dealers, pri-
vate citizens eking any grade of
pleasure car, or business men, desir-
Gus Of getting up to date by handling
their deliveries on motor trucks, will
find greater variety Of motor-driven
vehicles to select from than ever be-
fore were shown in the Ohio Valley.
Nor will the display of motor cars
be the only attraction to take the pub
lie to Music Hall during the time of
the show. Arrangements have been
made for concerts every afternoon and
evening by the noted Cincinnati Sym
phony Orchestra, with soloists from
time to time. Special demonstrations
by the various exhibitors also will be
features, while the two large halls in
which the vehicles will be shown will
be handsomely decorated, this portion
of the project alone entailing an ex-
pense of $500.
