NEW. YORK, Jan. Fully one-half
of the interest I'm the 18th annual Ma
tional Automobile show, which opened
here yesterday at the Grand Central
Palace, centres in the displays of motor
accessories and in the accessory eX-
hibits- Philadelphia manufacturers play
an important part.
Only one of the 902 cars which are
being shown Is the product of a Penn
sylyania concern, the Pullman Moturcar
Company, of York. But among the ex-
hibtors of accessories there are u
Pennsylvania manufacturers and of this
number 10 are Philadelphia concerns.

by gazing frequnetly and famlliarly into
