CROWDS SWARM To
NEW AUTO DISPLAY

mobile show point toward doubling the
success of last years initial exhibit
Nearly $4,000 worth Of exchanged auto
mobiles were bought during the first
afternoon and evening an increase of
nearly $1,000 over the first days sales q
year ago.
The mana cement did not look for a
| large attendance on Easter Sunday. but
! the day moved on the crowds con-
tinued to increase. and among them were
many buyers. so that the second day of
the show, in spite of it being a day
when most Of the people promenade and
keep out of doors to display Easter
inery. was better than the first and the
sales made up to closing time were ap-
proximately so per cent greater than
those OF the opening day.
Those who did not find what they
wanted the first day or the second day
should remember that the exhibit is
constantly changing as cars are sold and
others are moved into their places.
Accessory exhibitors did a thriving
business the first two days of the show,
and not an exhibitor can be found so
far who is not more than satisfied with
the sales made. There are many out
of-town buyers coming in. and it seems
that the man from downstate who is
pernickity about buying an exchanged
car from his home town dealer for fear
he may be buying the car which his
next-door neighbor turned in for new
model can come to Chicagos exchanged /
car show and buy without running any /
risk of such danger
All in all. the show promises TO be a |
greater success this year than last. when
more than 375 cars were sold for a sum
aggregating s275.O00. There IS a ST.
100000 exhibit represented in this show.
and if half of the exhibits are sold the
success of last year will be doubled
