Mr. Coionna who recently attended
several of the larger automobile shows
of the country while on a trip to the
North and East will have especial
charge of the automobile section. The
dealers have expressed themselves as
especially enthusiastic over the idea,
according to Messrs Colonna and
Baum, and are making plans for the
success of the event, which will prob-
ably be made an annual or semian-
nual affair. Expert mechanics and dem-
onstrators will be stationed at each
booth to explain the mechanical de
tails of their cars’ construction and
give demonstrations for the benefit of
the spectators.
While the committee has not yet had
an opportunity of Interviewing them,
they are sure that the dealers in auto-
mobile accessories will come in on the
show and have the latest wrinkles of
this branch of the automobile Indus-
try on exhibition during the two nights
of the show. The exact dates of the
double style show have not yet been
determined, depending on the most
convenient time for the automobile
dealers. However the show will come
between the 12 end 15.
Dealers who have not yet made an
