SHOW OPENS
ON TUESDAY
Handsome 1917 Cars Will Be Ex-
hibited by the Live Wire
Distributors Here
Next Week.

The second annual show of the
Bridgeton Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation opens on Tuesday afternoon
of next week, and continues all of
the remainder of the week.
For weeks the dealers, organized in
efficient committee, have been per-
fecting the plans for the big show
which will attract to Bridgeton hun
dreds Of people from all about South
Jersey.
Last year the Show was held in the
Armory, and big as the drill room is,
the capacity was insufficient, and
very fortunately the dealers were en-
abled this year to secure the Preston
calendar plant building out East
Br.dgeton Here the immense unob-
structed floor space gives opportun-
ity for unlimited display and provides
for the public every accommodation
ard convenience.
The dealers have accomplished a
vast amount of work out at this East
Bridgeton plant and it will be more
of an exposition structure next week
than an industrial plant.
The entire, well finished interior
will be very prettily decorated. This
work is under the direction and will
follow plans of a special committee
comprising Miss Ada Davis, Albert L.
Ham, Charles r. Tomlin and Gus C.
Westcott. The scheme viii be an or
iginal one, and in effect will give a
warm weather, out door aspect which
will make an admirable and effective
setting for the fine motor machines
that will be demonstrated to the pub
lie. 4
The floor. space has been allotted
impartially and every dealer has all
OF the space that he desires to use.
The machines will be shown on eth
er side of the $50 feet length of the
building. There will be wide prom
enade running through the entire
length of the building. There will
be retiring rooms for both ladies and
gentlemen, and refreshment booths
will be provided. An orchestra stand
has been provided and there will be
music each afternoon and night dur
ing the show
The exhibitors and the space they
will occupy are as follows: No. 1,

These spaces were chosen by drawing
and will be numbered up one side of
the building and down the other, so
that cars will be displayed on each
side of very wide center aisle.
This combination Of dealers makes
for Bridgeton a representative auto
mobile show. 1t brings to Bridgeton
the cars that are desirable, cars of
dependable worth, the cars that the
people want and will buy. The show
brings to the early seasons attention
of the public the newest and latest
things in automobiles. The show will
develop the very latest equipment,
style and finish. 1t will show that
South Jersey has in the Bridgeton
distributors, the men who are UP to
the minute and far ahead of those in
other sections. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that in all South Jersey
south of Trenton, no other city has
an automobile show excepting Allan
tic City, and this show does not fol-
low until the first of April.
The public will gain good deal
from this show to be held next week
