The Editor, " THE COMMERCIAL MOTOR."
Sir :-On the question of separate shows for commercial and private passenger cars, we are very strongly of opinion that the time has come to hold two distinct shows, if, indeed, it had not already arrived before the recent Olympia Show was held. We understand that over iso firms were crowded out, and many well-known firms had to put up with totally inadequate space in both sections.
The number of firms now building commercial cars is quite sufficient to make a separate show a success in every way, and it must be remembered that the two classes of goods are purchased by very different types of buyers, who would only be interested in the one kind of car. Our suggestion is that the boats which are used for pleasure purposes principally should be shown at the private passenger car show, and that boats which are used for fishing or commercial purposes should be shown with the commercial vars. We do not, however, advocate holding another show of any kind until after the coming season, as the combined show which has just been held has fully served its purpose.
