SHOWS REVEAL
PUBLICTASTE
Motor Exhibits Test Out
New Ideas in Automo-
bile Making.

Success in sensing the trend OF
the times in motor car construction,
and in sensing the demands OF the
motoring public. begins in the great
automobile shows throughout the
country, according to Frank b. An
sted, president OF the Lexington
Motor Co.
He is 3 believer in the great force
of public opinion, and he sees in
the big automobile shows rare op-
portunities to learn the trend of
public opinion as it applies TO motor
car construction.
In these shows are gathered deal
ers, distributors. and visitors from
every part of the world. In the
conversation and comments Of these
visitors at the various display
booths Ansted learns what public
opinion demands in the way of mo-
tor ears.
So each night during show week
in any of the large cities which he
visits he may be found walking
quietly about. stopping here and
there for a word with some show
visitor or dealer. getting the judg-
ment OF this man or that man on
the trend Of the times in motor
car construction.

Of motor trucks for supplying

another tendency toward indus

to what extent the passenger car in

survey which is being further ex-

Of cars by all classes of owners is
fully determined.
Cars Used for Business.
Ninety per cent Of the owners re-
ported that they used their cars
more or less for business. while 10
per cent stated that their automo-
blles were for recreation use only.
The average increased efficiency OF
the car owner is SGT per cent. A
