This Is for the reason that it Is more widely attended bv automobile dealers, drawing a representative gathering from all comers of the United States. The dealer attendance at the Chloago show this year was heavier than usual, and the sales contracts entered Into, calling annually for shipments of cars running into million of dollars, were well up to normal.
