AUTO SHOW TO BE,
RECORD BREAKER
Detroit Automobile Dealers AS
ISOLATION to Stage Exhibit
January 1920

Three things stand out in connec-
tAor with the annual Detroit automo-
bile show To 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 or automobiles this
city ever has seen, the space allotted
To pleasure cars being twice that or
any other year. Secondly, the great
est truck show OF the year will be held
in a separate building and attract man
ufacturers and merchants from all
over the country. Then the decora-
tive scheme 10 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 10 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 1t. The first floor will be differ
ent and the truck building will have
its own plan.
Owing to the striking beauty of the
1915 models Of cars the directors
spent 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 of the
show and win for II the public stamp
OF approval.
At first there were some apprehen-
sions as to the location OF the show
buildings. but the branch managers
and retailers show that they approve
OF It by the liberality 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 a big badge and sits
astride motorcycle. The trolley cars
take you there In less than a quarter
or an hour, for the spot Is just three
miles from Woodward-ave.
From letters received by factory
and retail managers II Is thought that
more people will come from outside of
the city to see the 1916 show than
rave seen any Of the past successes
! OF the association.
