Phenomenal Auto Sales.

The automobile shows just closed in New York City smashed all previous records. There were 250,000 enthusiastic men and women spectators during the week and the aalea were phenomenal/ Three million dollars’ worth of automobiles were sold to individual buyers for private use, and at least $7,000,000 worth more were sold to wholesalers and agents. When the auto men left the shows, tired to exhaustion by their seven days of exertion, they were happier than ever before. A canvass of the exhibitors showed that every one of them had done an excellent business during the week. Borne hare scored heavier than ethers, and at least three maker* may be said to have cloeed contracts for their entire output, and they will now prepare for 1907 models.
