HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT. SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 24. 1914. NEARLY 2.080 FEET FLOOR SPACE FOR HAYNES CARS Will Have Immense Display at the New York and Chicago Automobile Shows. Says George G. McFarland, Local Distributor •• The largest gathering of motor oar builder# iu the history of the industry was present at the semi-annual meeting of the National Automobile Chamber of Commeree in New York City un Octo ber 7, when drawing# were held for space at the "New York and Chicago au tomobile shows,"' states George G. Me- Parland. or the llarrisburg Auto Co?, .ustributor? in this territory for the Uaynes, America's fir«t car, in a recent interview. 'The Hay ties company drew space EXWOOO HAYNES Father mi ti*<- Aooicu B-81, wkiob cover* 919 square feet. ■ for their exhibit at the New S'ork show, which will igain tnke place at the Grand Central Palace the week of Jan uary 2 to t>. and for the Chicago show, which will be held, as usual, at the Coli seum, the company drew space H I, which covers !)24 square feet. '• I«ist January, at the Chicago show, the Uaynes company sold more cars than at all the previous shows held in the Windy City combined, but, with the -.'opularitv of the Uaynes "light six." it is predicted that all Hayues records for cars sold at similar events will be shattered. It is stated that there will be approximately 550 exhibitors at the New York and Chicago events. Of this . number, 101 wi'l exhibit passenger cars, while the balance will exhibit ac cessories and products of allied trades that enter into the making of the mod ern motor cars. ■' B. A. Miles, manager of the shows. I reported that applications for the tif i teenih annual exhibition exceeded in nimber those for any previous affairs of the kind. t being impossible top ro vide for seveu of the car applications received from the * hicago show. "There was much gratification among the makers over the eminently fair action of the Senate committee at Washington in recognizing the impor tance of the industry as evidenced by their decision not to place a tax on the | motor cars, which already so heav ily taxed throughout the country, in cluding registration fe>'«, taxes to op erate vehicles, personal property tax. ! wheel tax, road improvement tax, and in the case of North Carolina, SSOO license fee to sell cars in the State. "The diawing showed that the past! year has seen little or no increase in j the number of manufacturers, the cars i represented at the drawing beng old t » timers in the field. In this connection i it is interesting to note that the ilaynes • company participated in the fourteen annual exhibitions held in New York ; and Chicago—a record that can be du i plicated by very few of the present i day manufacturer?." «00l> TIRES A NECESSITY Vincent Astor Gets an Average of 10,-! 000 Miles Out of Them In placing his order for his seventh I car.
