HAS ITS OWN SHOW TO HAVE A LARGE DISPLAY OF NEW MODELS ‘ ‘AT LOCAL HEADQUARTERS In their splendid new building at 80 Brookline Ave., opposite the Red Sox baseball park, Boston, the New England Velie Co. will make throughout the entire week ‘'of March 3rd te March 10th, every day and evening from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m., the largest display of auto- mobiles ever attempted by any individual company, according to Amos J. Shorey, the eastern representative of the Velie Motors Corporation and manager of the New, England Velie Company. Mr. Shorey and W. F. Aldrich, president of the com- pany, have just returned from an extended trip through the central West and have completed arrange- ments for shipping 20 different and disfinct models of pleasure cars and trucks, all of which will be on exhibi- tion at their new showrooms Some very unique designs and a veritable riot of color schemes will be there to interest and attract. Beautiful decoration, music and entertainment will be on tap throughout the week of the show; attractive souvenirs -will be given to visitors and a different one will be given each day. Everyone is cordially invited to be there. Arrangements have also been made to have a train- load of Velie Biltwel Sixes arrive during show week, consisting of 106 cars, and two more trainloads will follow immediately. This trainload of automobiles in transit are all flat cars, each one of them covered with an individual white canvas cover with the word “Velie” printed in four foot letters on either side. It looks like a circus parade. There are 106 cars in this trainload. Mr. Shorey states that the New England Velie Com- pany are staging this show at their own showrooms owing to the fact that they were unable to secure space at the Boston Auto Show large enough to exhibit their own great variety of models, and as the Velie Biltwel line is becoming so popular in New England that a large percentage of the output of the mile of Velie factory will come east this year, it seems quite essential o show the entire line of cars.
