Oakland, Staver, Welch This is a line of cars that must be seen to be appreciated. The Oakland has been tried out in this section three years and grows more popular every day. The Staver has never been sold west of Chicago before, but it is a car with more high class features than any car made at the price. The Welch is a high class car embracing dis- tinctive features gi\‘ing it high power, style and mechanism found only in the leading cars built in America today. Licensed under Selden patent?

Along Auto Row Dealers Are Busy Shipping Oars to Every Section of the States of Nebraska and Iowa. The following was received by the Me- |Intyre Auto company: ‘Oakland Autcmobile Company, Omaha, Neb.—Gentlemen: Of course you all know I am an enthusiast over the Oakland, and an experlence I had east might meke me more s0. As you know 1 am driving an Oakland forty, 1910, model, and you also now 1 have driven it In excess of 10,000 miles, with practically no expense for re | pairs, and when I had Mr. Bert Eastman at Clarinda, Ia, overhaul my engine this winter he accompanied his bill, which was | small, with the statement that the engine was In excellent condition and only needed | to be cleaned 1 left Red Oak, Ia, at 9 o'clock p. m, April 29, 1910, accompanied by Dr. R. D. Morris and Chauncey Powers of Red Oak. | We had the machine standing on the floor in the Atlantic auto garage, Council Bluffs, at 11:30 p. m., driving via Glenwood. The distance is by auto road just about sixty miles, and we made the run with exactly three gallons of gasoline. These facts can be veritied by employes of the North auto | garage at Red Oak, as well as those of the Atlantlc garage in Councll Bluffs., Ia. Ke- spectfully, A. R. KROH, Last week was a busy week on Auto Row. More cars went out than on the preceding week. The factory branches do- Ing largely an agency business report fine business. The Bulck agency will receive a shipment of twenty-four cars during this week. The E. M. F. agency unioaded sev- eral cars last woek, and the Maxwell-Brl coe Omaha people are as busy as bees. The local agencies were busy Many of them sold out of cars and booked deliv- erles for next month. It is difficult to say what class of car is selling best. The expensive car s selling like hot cakes, The middle grade car, medium-priced car, {s more popular than ever, and thers has never been such a demand for the aristo- | crats' car as now. Agents agree that now {8 the season to push and they are doing it. Just now Is the time to go before the farmer. Now is the time for him to, buy. A few weeks later he will be up to the eves planting and he will not be pestered. Dick Stewart said: *CTarles T. Jeffery, who for sixteen years was a partner with his father, the late Thomas B. Jeffery, in the firm of Thomas B. Jeffery & Co., now assumes complete control of the manufac- ture and sale of Rambler automobiles. “Mr. Jeffery 1s widely known in the trade, having contributed much to thé de- velopment of the automobile industry since its inception. “It is announced that the business of Thomas B. Jetfery & Co. will continue without change in polic; The demand for cars has brought Into the Omaha field several new machines. Sweet-Edwards Auto eompany has brought out the R. A. C. This is a $2,200 car and is attracting considerable attention. F. C. Hill has brought out the Henry car, a $L760 car which has plenty of admirers. The Standard Auto company is Introduc- ing the Westcott and the Omaha Auto company the Demot. C. F. Louk will re- celve next week a shipment of the Abbott- | Detroit. This Is a 31,500 car and is de- signed by John G. Utz There are other new cars which will make their appear- ance in this market during the coming month. Henry Thompson of the White company of Chicago has been in Omaha several days assisting W. R. Drummond in push- ing the White steamer and the gasoline car. Thompson began in Savannah and was sald to be one of the best auto m chinists that ever left the south. R. J.

Escort of Chalmers owners two blocks long paraded clty amid tense enthuslasm. Total cost parts replaced $1.80. Never missed shot.” One of the things that impressed me most upon my recent visit east,” sald H. B. Fredrickson of the H. E. Fredrickson Auto- mobile company, ‘‘was the magnitude of the manufacturing plant now being erected by the Hudson Motor Car company at De- trolt, Mich. “While it was originally Intended to in- vest $500,000 In this proposition it has now been found that more money could be spent to very good advantage, and the orig- inal estimates will be considerably over- reached. The bulldings are of the latest and most approved type, fireproof in every sense of the word, and the machinery to be Installed Is the most expensive and up to date that money can buy.” Guy Smith sald: “The H. H. Franklin Manufacturing company believes in devel- oping the young men of today. That there has been a lack of this development this company feels certain. With this in mind the technical class in the training division of the company has been established. This branch of our work is under the imme- diate charge of a competent instructor, who is a graduate of the mechanical course of Purdue unlversity. Students entering this course have many advantages which were not possible under the old fashioned apprentice system, where a boy was turned 10086 to the tender mercles of this or that particular foreman. Lee Huff said: “The American Sheet and Tinplate company {s authority for the statement that the Buick Motor company's contract on cold rolled steel is the largest single contract on cold rolled steel and shafting ever placed In the United State: “The Buick contract specifies delivery during 1910 of 10,00 tons of cold rolled steel and the American company says this exceeds the next largest by 3,00 tons. “This in itself should be sufficient evi- dence as to the large scale on which the Buick operations are conducted at the great Flint plants, but other figures are equally Interesting showing the vast quantity of raw materlal required by the Bulck com- pany. “The contract on sheet steel, which is used for fenders, hoods, drip aprons, etc., will amount to 7,500 tons for 1911 and 1,200 tons of steel forgings are used per month.” W. L. Huffman said: “One of the cars to win a perfect score in the recent 176- mile endurance run of the Savannah (La.) Automobile club was the Hupmoblle. The run was over roads of wretched condition between Savannah and Jacksonville, Fla., occupying two days, The Hupmoblle was in competition with cars of much greater welght and horsepower. “Word has been recelved of a rather re- markable record made in Minnesota with a Hupmoblle. J. B. Keller drove a Hup- moblle from Minneapolis to Breckenrldge. The distance of 250 miles was made In twelve hours and the gasoline consumed was only ten gallons—an average of twenty-tive miles per gallon over rough and tumble roads.” Henry H.

New York advices repeat with positive- ness the rapid development of the merger of automobile manufacturing companies into & corporation financed by the banking houses of J. P. Morgan & Co. While this was expected some time ago. when the Morgan Interests organized the General Motors company, which this year will turn out 60,000 cars, the announcement is made that the United States Motor Car company of New Jersey had purchased the majority of the stock of the Columbla Motor Car company made it evident to Wall street that J. P. Morgan and his asso- clates soon would control the automobile industry of the country, which has become one of its greatest industrial features. Only recently Mr. Morgan secured control of the E. M. F. company of Detroit, one of the largest automobile plants in the mid- dlo west. The Studebaker company had a third In- terest In the concern—the Everett-Metzger- Flanders Automobile company—and the Morgan banking firm, acting for the Studebaker company, pald $4,800,000 for the other two-thirds of the stock. This stock was turned over to the Stude- baker company, but the Morgan interests are sald to control the latter company. In addition to this the United States Motor company will issue certificates, countersigned by the Central Trust com- pany, giving holders of Columbla under the Selden license The General Motors company, which Is controlled by the Morgan interests, has a capital of $20,000000. This corporation Is the largest and the most aggressive auto- mobile concern of absorbing and expansive tendencles in the country. Its production this year will amount to $80,000,000. It has acquired the following well-known com- panies: Buick Motor company, Cadillac Motor Car company, Olds Motor works, Oakland Motor Car company, Marquette company, Reliance Motor Truck company, Rapld Motor Vehicle company, Western Motor company, Northway Motor and Manufacturing company, Bedford Motors company, Ltd., of London; McLaughlin Motor Car company, Welch company, El- more company, De Carter Car company, Randolph Motor Car company, Ewing Motor Casting company, Michigan Auto Michigan Motor Castings company and Jackson-Church-Wilson com- pany. NOTED AUTO THIEF CAPTURED Woman's Clever Swindle Successfully Worked All Over Country. “A pretty young woman, with dark eyes and winning smile” is the pen picture given of a professional automobile thief, who made off with two cars in New York City this month. extended from San Francisco to New York, she was assisted by a young man, sup- posed to be the woman's husband, who managed to eluds the police. Two New York victims are placed to her credit. At the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco she registered as Mrs. Ortega, Mr. Ortega being along. They visited a dealer and pretended that they wanted to buy a 6,00 car. A demonstrator was sent along with them and he was left a few hours later in the same fix that Mr. Homan found himself last Thursday afternoon. They registered at the Auditorium Annex in Chicago as "Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Spald- ing,” and worked the game with neatness and dispatch. Denver entertained the couple next and the Brown Palace had the honor of their patronage. From Denver they apparently came straight to New York, since the date of the Denver theft and the date of Burgess' loss were only a few days apart. What bothers the New York detectives most of all is how the pair got away with the automobjles. A big touring car is not like & necklace or a watch. You can't put it in your pocket. It has prominent mark- ings, pecullar individuality and usually it Is as easlly traced as an express train. According to the police the couple have been able to seil as well as steal.
