§ THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 8, 1916, - FAMINE OF HOMES NOTICED IN OMAHA Real Estate Exchange, After a Careful Survey, Reports Only 538 Vacant Places. SMALL COTTAGES SCARCE . There are only 538 vacant places to live in in Omaha, according to the survey made by a special committee of the Omaha Real Estate exchange. The committee even reports that it looks like a famine of “houses-to- rent” in Omaha. This committee has made a survey for two weeks and has checked back the result: Places listed for rent at present Hovses and cottag: Modern except h Partly modern Uninhabitable Apartments all modern. Totatie.nesey Committee in Charg; The special committee making this survey consisted of Claire R. Nelson of Payne Slater, chairman; A. A. Gilbert of A. P. Tukey & Son; W. W. Potter, Peters Trust company; Miss Catherine Shields, Hastings & Hey- den; A. C. Kennedy, thé¢ Alfred C. Kennedy company. Need for Bungalows. The committee reports that five- room cottages and bungalows that are really desirable are very hard to find vacant at present. A large ma- jority of the houses vacant are either not modern or have eight or nine rooms, and are far from the car line, or in undesirable neighborhoods. This survey was made by reference to the classified rental lists of adver- tisements in the newspapers for two weeks and a thorough check of the rental lists of 103 real estate firms in Omaha.

This was decided upon by the Omaha Real Estate Exchange at the meeting Wednes There was a difference of opinion as to whether the sale should he continued over Sunday, as Chairman Christic of the special committee reported, but he was _overcome by the arguments of G. G. Wallace, C. F. Harrison, Ed Slater and others, so that the Sunday sale idea was abandoned. This tract is the one purchased and developed by the International Realty Associates. The lots were platted and developed, and now eighty local real éstate men have agreed to sell them without profit to themselves at the price set. They have simply di- vided the work or parceled it out so that each will have only a few lots to sell. Omaha and Wilson Willil‘i)ur World In a few weeks motion pictures of the historical parade in Omaha and of President Wilson's activities in Omaha on that day will begin to be shown all over the world. Five big moving picture firms were on the job in Omaha every minute of the day taking pictures. Those here were the International, the Universal, the Pathe, the Selig-Tribune and the Metro Service. Friday the International, the Pathe and the Universal men stayed over, and took pictures of the National Swine show on the South side. E. V. Parrish, manager of the bu- reau of publicity, has arranged to be notified when these pictures will be released for the shows in various places. Mr. Parrish co-operated with the men in gettin~ the pictures, and was largely instrumental in inducing them to remain over an extra day to take the Swine show. to Liven Up Your Torpid Liver.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known au- thority. Meat forms uric acid, which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they be- come sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must refieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges.

But the price on the 5-passenger 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers re- mains (for the time being) $1090 Detroit Until midnight of Nov. 30 you can get a 7-22 Chalmers for $1280 Detroit—a car of rare ability, fascinating in body equipment, and, like a beautiful woman, of exquisite charm. [ After that date the price becomes $1350 Detroit—$70 more. The $70 is just a few dollars less than the incresse in cost of manufacture of this car since its appearance in June. To those who have lo 3400 r. p. m.

Only those who are materials such as go into high-grade antomobiles can begin to realize the steady, upward trend of the materials market. Just one condition ts a rise in price of the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers—the fact that these cars are being made on a factory “work A r” dating back several months, Since the “work order” went materials have jumped in cost When the current “work order” is completed and if mate: remain at their present level or rise higher, only one course will be possible, an increased price, Those who have been driving Chalmers cars know how diligent has been the Chalmers effort to set down cars of the quality kind. They will understand how impossible it would be for Chalmers to d the increase-in-materials issue and maintain the prevailing price on the 7-22 ers. Lower the quality of the Chalmers car? Never. The Chalmers men take great pride, not only in the money the car makes for them, but in the car itself. And pride, as everyone knows, is a thing that can never be compromised. It would be like Tissot trying to paint a picture to fit a price. . As long as there’s a name “Chalmers”, there will be a q;allty car, and as long as there’s a quality car there’ll be a price fixed—not by the Sales Department—but by cost accountants. And therell be a fair deal. Chalmers says these two 3400 r.p.m. models will be continued into next scason. You can bank on that. So thata mers car you might buy now will be exactly like the one you would buy next spring. Remember the $70 you can save now by anticipating the rise in price. There’s an olduiSeo!:hl p;‘overb that says “A ;lollar saved is a dollar earned”. $70 buys a suit of clothes, a ir of shoes, a good hat and some ov mil just about pays ymm at the club forga year. e g Or, if it’s a 5-passenger 3400 r. p.m. Chalmers you want, our advice is to get one now. We are not sure the price is going up and we are not sure that it isn't. 4 for the R. W. Craig, Inc. 1512-14 Farnam St. Omaha Phone Douglas 7888 |
