J. (“Wee”) Coyle, Mayor Edwin J. Brown and William O. McKay, president of the Automotive Traces association, it is not the fault of the group of dealers and automotive ex- perts who have toiled unremittingly for three weeks to as- sure its success. The last of the special exhibits of both motor car and ac- eessory manufacturers which were rushed by express to greet the influx of visitors were in Friday evening, and all other details were ready early Saturday, William A. Simonds, sec- retary of the Automotive Trades association and manager of the auto show, announced. | Following a pleasing contrast of the very latest in trans- portation machinery and a setting typical of the most an- Cient civilization in the world’s history, Charles Goodman, head of the decoration committee, has followed the Chinese motif thruout in both of the huge tents that house the ex- hibits. No expense and no amount of tedious labor has been spared in perfecting the elaborate and gorgeous setting, according to Goodman. Every booth appears — us if magically transported from ¢ heart of Peking, and numberiess lan a terns reflect the sensuous atmos-| i’, phere of Chinese gardens.

Train travelers should buy one- Way tickets from their places of residence, and at the show they will be given certificates that will insure them a reduction on the price of the return ticket.” ‘The men who engineered the pre- liminary details of the show ar William A.
