New of the National Show
The dates for the two National automobile shows to be held next winter in New York and Chicago have been decided upon. The New York exhibition will be held in its entirety in the Grand Central Palace during the week of January 3-10. The Chicago exhibition will be held at the Coliseum and First Regiment Armory as formerly, the date being January 24-31. Each exhibition will be conducted under the auspices of the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, and each will be confined to passenger vehicles. This will be the first time one association has been in actual control of both exhibitions since the Selden-Patent litigation matters divided the membership of the N. A. A. M. into two camps which brought about several shows.
Madison Square Garden, which has been the home of the New York show for many years, proved itself inadequate for exhibiting the products of the automobile industry, and last year the exhibition was held in both the Garden and Grand Central Palace. The Grand Central Palace, a magnificent show building, will this year house the entire exhibition, and the space which has been secured is greater by far than that which was utilized in two buildings last year. Four floors of the Palace will be used for the exhibits and the additional space over that which was had last year is 50,000 square feet, which will afford a comfortable housing for all exhibitors.
For the Chicago show, the gallery of the Coliseum will be extended at the sides and each end of the building will be lengthened by 24 feet, this arrangement adding 5,000 more feet of space for the exhibits. The aisles will extend around the inside of the balcony instead of the outside as heretofore, so that the exhibition space will be given greater depth.
Motorists are pleased with the idea of utilizing only one building in New York for the show, and also the fact of having the New York and Chicago exhibitions under one management, for this will result in saving many thousands of dollars to the trade and space rentals will cost less than in former years. S. A. Miles, general manager of the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, is busily engaged on the plans for both exhibitions, and he expects that application blanks and diagrams will be issued by September 1. Applications for space and diagrams and other information can be had by writing to the Automobile Chamber of Commerce. 7 East 42d street, New York City.
