BRINGING UP FATHER YOUR HONOR GET A DIVORCE - 3LLER PRONOTED NEW NANAGER HERE L. A. Keller to Become Man- ager of Northwest Terri- tory at Portland, Ore. H KENNADY SUCCESSOR| Omaha appears to be a good train- ing ground for young business men, another having just received recogni- tion from eastern headquarters. L. A. Reller, for the last six years| manager of the Omaha branch of the | Studebaker Corporation, leaves the ’ coming week for Portland, Ore., to ' become northwest manager, an enor- mous section of country thereby com- ing under his direct supervision. Mr. Keller’s connection with the Studebaker dates back to the early days when the first Studebaker branch was established in Minneapolis, and when automobiles were not as numer- ous as aeroplanes are now. After some years in Minneapolis, he went| to Portland with the E. M. F. North- west company—the name of the Stu- debaker branch at that time—and in 1911 came to Omaha. v = WANT TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE RASED HIS NAND NEW AND OLD MANAGER | FOR STUDEBAKER. Enjoys Wonderful Growth, Under Mr. Keller's direction, the| Studebaker automobile business in the Omaha territory has grown from al very modest business to its present magnificent proportions. The present Studebaker building, at Twenty-ffth avenue and Farnam street, one of the finest branch buildings in the| Studebaker organization, is a monu- ment to Mr. Keller's energy and pro- | gressiveness. He is a member of (hc‘ Omaha Commercial club, Field club, Sixty-Six club, Athletic club, Auto-| mobile Trade association, ‘\u(omomlg‘ club and Sales Managers’ a:soclatton‘,‘ of wiich he was president last year. | A notable addition to the automo-| bile: men of Omaha has just| been announced by the Stude-| baker Corporation, the appoint- ment having been made of Henry Kennady as manager of the Omaha branch 1o succeed Mr. Keller. Mr. Kennady, while young in years, being. only 33, has had vears of ex- perience in the sales end of the auto- mobile business. nected with Studebaker for over nine years and is a veteran in the auto- mobile business. Mr. Kennady’s first connection with . Studebaker was in the vehicle division at the South Bend plant, where he spent four years. His work there brought him tte appointment of man- | ager of the South Bend branch of the automobile division, which he managed for over two years, going from there to Oklahoma City as branch manager. His experience at Oklahoma City gave him a thorough insight intc conditions in the “middle west,” and the record he made brought him prominently before the executives at the Detroit plant. When it became necessary to send to a far distant pointa man who knew Studebaker policies from the ground up, who was able to deal with condi- tions as he found them, and who had the initiative and the ability to carry things through to a successful con-| clusion, Mr. Kennady was the man| selected. He was sent to Australia to build up the business there and for | the last four years has been managing director at the Studebaker Corpora- tion of Australia, limited. Mr. Kennadys previous experience in this section gave him the desire to return ,and when the opportunity of- fered for locating in Omaha he was quick to take advantage of it.

Nevertheless, the Nebraska athletic | board is anxious to establish rela- tlons with Syracuse, as the casterners | |have been represented by some of! ythc most powerful elevens seen on eastern gridirons. The Nebraska schedule, with games already arranged with Mis- souri, Kansas, Notre Dame and Iowa, | will be the hardest which has ever | been faced by a Nebraska eleven. At |the same time Dr. Stewart is con- | ducting negotiations with one of the| | leaders in western foot ball and a| | fifth big game will undoubtedly be | larranged before the close of the com- |ing week. The Huskers' schedule will also see | some big upsets. Drake, which has | been the first game of the season the | \last two years, wants the Huskers to | |come to Des Moines, and it is not | likely the two schools wil! meet ueu‘ | fall. " Dr. Stewart has as many games | |as he can provide for already- sched- |uled away from home. The Kansas| Aggnes have been dropped and the lowa game moved up ahead. Ne- | braska and Ames may not meet, with | the Aggie nm:hng upon the date of | | November 3, but Reed is doing evi er\~‘ thing in his power to smooth the way for a battle with the Iowans. The Saturday before the Notre Dame battle will be left open, leav-| ing the Huskers nearly two weeks to prepare for the coming of Lhc proteges of Jess Harper.
