That the motor car shows of 1914

more valuable than those Of any pre-.
vious year II the opinion Of Harry n.
Radford. vice-president and general
manager Of the Cartercar Co.. Of Pom.
tiac, Mich. Mr. Radford thinks that
the shows OF this season prove cen.
clusively that the practical epoch in
building horseless vehicles has been
reached.
The shows this year were all busl-
ness" said Mr.. Radford. They were
managed in q business-like way, and
the exhibitors seemed to realize that
they were there for business. There
was less tendency toward elaborate
display than in any previous year. The
big idea Of all the shows this year has
been to demonstrate the advantages
OF the different models. and 70 con-
