AUTO SHOW REQUIRES, ANNEX
Demand for Space at State Faih oe's
New Record. y

Minneapolis. - So much interest IS
being taken in the auto show at the
Minnesota state fair, Sept. to 8, that
every foot of exhibit space Son the
ground floor of the Varied Industries
building has been sold, indicating the
largest auto show ever conducted in
the northwest. Such a demand for
space has been received from firms
which cannot be accommodated in the
main showroom that the state fair
management has decided to convert
the building formerly used for the
good roads exhibit into an auto show
annex, and move the good roads ex-
h1bit to the Steel and Machinery build
ing on Machinery hill. It is the be-
lief of L. H. Francis, in charge of the
auto show, that every foot of space
in the auto show annex will be dis
posed OF. The annex is to be nearly
half as large as the main showroom.
