Minneapolis, Dec. 2f.-Pulling to-
gether as one city, Minneapolis and
st. Paul will hold an Automobile
show during the week OF Feb. 30,
in the Overland building, University
and Eustis avenues, that in number
and variety OF exhibits, and amount
OF floor space used, will eclipse any
similar exposition ever held in the
United States, New York and Chi
cago shows not excepted. Plans
were perfected and work was started
of with a rush at a meeting Of the
Minneapolis Auto Trade association
at the West hotel.
It will not be a Minneapolis auto
show this time. The name adopted
Is this: Twin City Automobile and
Industrial Exposition. Selling auto
mobiles will not be the principal and
important feature. Aid to the gov
eminent in the nature Of educational
exhibits, among which is a con-
templated display by A. d. Wilson,
food administrator for Minnesota, is
projected.
With proffer of use of the immense
Overland building, having five and
one-half square blocks Of floor
space, the principal problem con-
fronting the management was over
come. Work yet to be done involves
chiefly obtaining enough exhibits TO
cover the 2OO, 900 square feet Of space
which it is expected will be utilized.
Idea of the size of the show can De
gained from the fact that last year
show. the largest ever held in Min
