THE stand (No. 13) occupied by• The Commercial Motor is one of the most attractive vantage points of the Exhibition at Earls Court. Owing partly to its position close to Warwick Road entrance, but, mainly, on account of its various facilities and features of interest and the popularity of the journal, it has become one of the leading social centres and an excellent rendezvous.
During the first three days, and on his return yesterday, one of the chief attractions has been to see "Silver Mask," the well-known caricaturist, at work, whilst during the few days on which he was absent hundreds of people studied the numerous examples of his art which are displayed depicting many men well known in the industry. At the other side of the stand is our. costs expert, S.T.R., busily engaged in tackling the problems of many operators, who appreciate this excellent, opportunity of meeting him in person and of being able to chat with him in comparative privacy.
The patent indicator, pressure on the buttons of which shows at once where any exhibitor's stand is situated, is in constant use, whilst the enlarged photographs of well-known personalities bring a constant stream of visitors. '
The record size of our Show Report Number necessitated an increase in price, but, despite this, many more copies were sold than in the case of the corresponding issue two years ago. One.of the most widely read and popular productions at the Show is the little book of examples of transport humour under the title "You Have Time to Laugh," which this journal is issuing free. It contains a large number of excellent drawings covering many phases.
The Commercial Motor is regarded not only as the representative newspaper of the road-transport industry, but, also, as its personal friend.
