HUGE MOTOR SHOW.
RECORD CROWDS ATTEND. NATION’S FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY MANY ORDERS FOR BRITAIN. Received October 17, 9.55. a.m. LONDON, Oct. 16. The Dispatch states that the motor manufacturers’ fight to secure domination of tho world markets culminated when record crowds flocked to tho Motor Shovv to-day.. Although 55 stands display foreign oai*s, it is estimated that since tho opening on the 13tli inst. £30,000,000 worth of Britain’s output in 1928 has been sold despite tho 20 per cent increase in 1927 which has been planned. The fact that one of the largest of tho British manufacturers refused a purchase offer of £12,000.000 from an American organisation, hoping to develop Empire market, shows tho intensity of the fight for international supremacy.—Sydney Sun cable.
