AUTO SHOW TO BE
RECJRD BREAKER
Detroit Automobile Dealers AS
sOciatiOn TO Stage Exhibit
Sal January 1920

l Three things stand out in connec-
tion with the annual Detroit automo-
bile show 10 be held Jan. 1920 at the
mammoth new plant OF the Detroit
Lumber company on West Jefferson
ave. In the first place IL will be the
biggest showing OF automobiles this
city ever has seen. the space allotted
10 pleasure cars being twice that OF
any other year. Secondly, the great
est truck show OF the year will be held
in a separate building and attractm man
ufacturers and merchants from all
over the country. Then the decora-
tive scheme Is such that there will be
more talk about II than either the
New York or Chicago shows.
Directors OF the Detroit Automo-
bile Dealers association who are Civ
ing the show have put the soft pedal
on the decorations. They have let the
contract TO one OF the best companies
In the land and rough sketches prom
Use something unique. In fact, the
directors say that the decoration OF
the second floor OF the automobile
building will be far and away ahead
OF what any city ever has had, the
idea being entirely new and the treat
ment TO be such as only artists can
give IT. The first floor will be differ
ent and the truck building will have
its own plan.
Owing to the striking beauty of the
1916 models OF cars the directors
spent a lot Of time in figuring out an
appropriate setting. They believe
they have hit upon the right idea and
count on this feature TO round Off the
show and win for It the public stamp
OF approval.
At first there were some apprehen-
sions az to the location OF the show
buildings, but the branch managers
and retailers show that they approve
OF II by the Hberality with which they
bought the space. One can drive from
the city hall TO the show site In ten
minutes without the fear Of the man
who wears big badge and sits
astride motorcycle. The trolley cars
take you there in less than quarter
or an hour, for the spot Is just three
miles from Woodward-ave.
From letters received by factory
and retail managers 1t Is thought that
more people will come from outside OF
the city to see the 1916 show than
Eave seen any OF the past successes
OF the association.
