OUR CATALOGUE SENT ON REQUEST AUTOMOTIVE EXHIBIT IS NEW C. I. C. FEATURE Entire Floor of New Motor Club Building to Be Uaecl to Show Acceuorie&-()pens Jan. 1 Constant inquiry on the part of the more than seventy-five · thousand members of the Chicago · Motor Club concerl)ing the merits of v~rious automotive accessories has brought that organization to the conclusion that the only satisfactory method of serving its membership in this particular, is to install a permanent automotive exhibition on one of the floors of its new downtown home at 66 East South Water street, Chicago. "Every day," says H. M. Brown, general manager of the club, "we receive calls from members asking our opinion of various a~cessories. We generally refer these calls to the manufacturer or his agents, but this is not rendering the kind of service we should like to provide for our membership. Entire Floor for Exhibits "A man interested in heaters, bumpers or spot lights, likes to look at several makes. When he is referred to several manufacturers, he frequently feels that he must make his purchase, in the first store visited. If he has an opportunity to look around, he might find something better suited to his needs. This condition has prompted us to devote an entire floor in our new building to a permanent exhibition of automotive accessories. "Although sales will be made, because of this exhibit, nevertheless, our thought in conducting it is to serve our membership rather than to promote the sales of any manufacturer. No salesmen representing a manufac· turer will be permitted on the floor, consequently a motorist may inspect the devices exhibited without fear of being annoyed, opens on January 1. "For the purpose of answering questions, we shall employ a man well versed in the automotive business. It will be permissible for manufacturers to give this man all the points pertaining to the product ·ordinarily used · in se11ing it. A perfectly unbiased presentation of facts will be made allowing the product to stand on its ~wn merits. "The entire eighth floor will be used for this exhibit. The direction board on the first floor will contain a list of the exhibitors." . The exhibit will o~en January 1. Henry Ford declined an invitation to ride in the Gra£ Zeppelin. Mr. Ford is not an ardent aviator. If recollection is correct, he has flown only once, with Col. Linbergh, and while he expressed himself on that occasion as having been greatly thrilled, it is not likely that he will take passage in any more aircraft. He enjoys making aircraft and he contributes substantially to the progress of the industry. But to make personal use ot them as a means of transportation-that's another matter.. ,, Telephone Highltlnd Puk 523 Automotive Parts and Accessories Establish Record The automotive parts and accessory industry, which set a new record for all time in August and closely approached that record last month is maintaining operations in October close to the September level and well ahead of last year, comments the automotive Daily News of New York. Manufacturers of motors, bodies and parts for original equipment of cars and trucks, as well as for the replacement trade, will enjoy a record fourth quarter, similar to car and truck manufacturers, according to jlhe Motor and Accessory Manufacturers Association .. While the business of original equipment suppliers and shipments of accessories and service equipment to the wholesale trade last month were seasonally lower than August, distribution of service parts to the trade exceeded August for a new high record.
