OFFICIALS THERE A unique test was recently staged the King Motor car company at de with a stock car. The object ' i . B Was to run continuously until some difme had elapsed. FElmer Rosengren of the Nebraska torage Battery company calls atten- ftion to the fact that one of the acces- ' sories on the car, which consisted en- I nection with the starting, lighting and £ ignition system. “During the entire two weeks’ run theé engine was not stopped and the car itself was only stopped in order to replenish oil, gasoline, water and tires. Lights were left burning almost cofitinuously. The headlights and an additional spotlight furnished illumi- nation at night for the car to be guid- ed around the track. Engine Never Stops. If the storage battery had refused to perform its functions properly the engine would have stopped and the test wuold have been ruined. But casionally a gravity reading was taken and water was added three times. While this addition of water was un- safe and making sure of battery per- formance. After the test was completed one of: the battery cells was torn down and inspected. This was done in' the presence of S. E. Edwards, chairman of the test, and also a member of the American Automobile association contest committee, as well as Messrs, Shipper and Elsner of the same com- mittee.

The arrangements for the presi- dential parade were made by a com- mittee consisting largely of automo- bile manufacturers, who decided unanimously that the Packard was the | logical choice of cars to convey the &eepshead Bay track.

This deci- sion was reached without any sug- gestion from the Packard company and resulted in five “twin sixes” being placed at the head of the parade. The incident has some significance as | showing the broad-minded spirit of the Detroit automobile men. Ryan Will Handle Ross Car in Omaha Arrangements were made this week the distribution of the Ross “eight” in the Omaha territory. This car will be handled by the Ryan Mo- tor company of Lincoln, Neb, who at the present time have a salesroom at 2520 Farnam street. The Ross eight is the creation of a man named Ross, who has been as- sociated in an engineering capacity with numerous automobile manufac- turing concerns. It is Mr. Ross’ idea of the kind of a car he would build for his personal use. D. C. Bothwell, who has been in charge of the Ryan Motor car inter- ests in Omaha since early this year, will direct the sales of the Ross in this section. Allen Car Crosses Nebraska “On High” R. M. Dale of the German-Ameri- | can Life Insurance company started out last Saturday with a_brand new Allen car for a trip to Denver and Cheyenne.

THE new-style beauty of Saxon “Six” BUY—Instead of Being ~Sold a Car There is a big difference. In the first instance you get what YOU want, and in the second you take what somebody else thinks you ought to have. You’re the man who pays for the ear, and who is going to run it. You know what you intend doing with it, and what conditions it must meet. So, look into it for yourself, have it demonstrated, and be sure it does meet the conditions in every way.

NOW WORKING TO CAPACITY Announcement has been made by Fred W. Warner, Pontiac, Mich., gen- eral manager of the Oakland Motor Car company, that plans for a large addition to the plant had been ap- proved: and building operations on an extensive scale will begin as soon as the buildigs on the old Studebaker site have been removed. In addition to the four acres com- rised in the Studebaker site, recently ought by the General Motors com- pany, President Durant authorized the purchase of eleven additional parcels, which will give the company another solid block, extending from Oakland Avenue north to Howard street. Cone tracts for the work will call for com- pletion of the additional buildings by October 1. The new buildings will be occupied by a machine shop and additional as- sembly departments, which the Oak- land company is compelled to add in order to bring the output up to a point, which will approach the de- mand for their new models, particu- larly the six-cylinder car, which has roved to be one of the sensational eatures of the year in motordom. July 1, the gakland company had contracts for 'the sale and delivery of several thousand cars over and above the total output of the fiscal year, with agencies and branch managers insistently demanding a larger appor- tionment. In view of the fact that the present plant has been worked to ca- acity without supplyinF the trade it gecame evident that a large addition to its output would have to be ac- complished immediately if the new business offered was to be accepted and the disappointment of agents and customers was to be avoided. King Makes a Good Run to Kansas City At 2:30 Frida{ morning a Kin “eight,” piloted by W. L. Killy o the Noyes-Killy Motor company, with A. H.
