One of Omaha's brightest men said:
"Greatest Car in the World,"
he exclaimed. "Revolutionary scientific discovery of a real Automobile. (Jnuulcst con
ception of human mechanical mind surely has been entered into."
He could not help but say.it when he saw the new, beautiful 1011 OLDSMOBILE
line. You will also say it is the prettiest and best const meted line of cars you ever looked
at, the swellest line of city cars you could imagine, at prices you can afford to pay.

Tonight will sea the close of the s1th
annua.) Omaha automobile how the bis
fMt and moat successful show Omaha ever
held. Crowds of visitors tiara attended
the show each dar and the Hat of cara
bought by the men who bare attended the
ahow prores that In actual results obtained
Omaha la one of the leading automobile
centers of the eountrr.
Friday there was no dropping off of the
crowds attending the exhibition and with
the warm weather, Just like spring, Omaha
was filled with visitors from out of town.
From 1 o'clock In the morning until 10;3fl
at night the people were filling the long
aisles at the Auditorium, and examining
the many ears there.
There probably has never been on any
day so many automobile on the streets
of Omaha as there were all day Friday.
Automobiles of every kind and description
of the 1911 models were being demonstrated,
and the fine day tempted many of the
dealers far Into the Country In showing
the powers and fine points of their cars.
Omaha is about to set a record In at
tendance figures this reason that will far
excel any former year's crowds. In fact.
It will be a record show and will eet a
mark for future automobile shows of this
elty to look up to and equal. The attend
ance figures of Inst year will look poor
In comparison wtlh the 1011 show and It
la probable a gain of 50 per cent will be
recorded before Saturday night clones the
show. The total number who attended the
automobile show last year was 30,000. '
May Be Longer Nest Year.
Tn view of the Vreat success of this year
there Is serious talk abroad among the
automobile dealers of the association of
prolonging the show of 1H2. making It ten
days or possibly two weeks. Omaha as a
real auto show town Is firmly established
and the auto men believe that there would
be a crowd present each day of a ten-day
show.
Another question which Is sure to puzzle
the show management of the next Omaha
ahow Is whore to put the many cars to be
exhibited. Veritable "kicks" were received
by the association from various oi Its
members because thev were unable to chow
all their cars In the space allotted to them,
before the show began this year. Several
firms who did not belong to the Omaha
Automobile Dealers' association asked. for
epace and were refused.
Anyone who attended the show could see
for himself that rot by anv, manner of
Bvhemlng would It i horhIMp to get In
nnothnr five automobllis. This year there
were 12) pleasure cars on the. muin floor,
while there were requests for space to
exhibit 2K. Next year the requests will
come up u 2.V) or more tnd some provision
will hav( to be mode for more room.
To Iilil.le tbci IStanvi.
The way in which the problem was set
tled In Chicago ami some other custein
cities was to have the pleasure car show
the first week and the commercial car
the second. This plan Is not at all popular
among the Omaha men. who consider that
the visitor shouhl be able to see the whole
show on one admission. The commercial
cars were crowded In the same manner as
the pleasure cars this season and they
will wain more room in 1!H2. The easiest
settlement of the problem seemed to many
of the dealers to be to ask the city to
allow tliem to block up either Fifteenth
or "mine-nth street for the auto show
period ami thus provide additional npace.
Owing partly to the fine weather of this

SHOULD KEEP HUB CAPS CLEAN
They Serve Purpose ( Vttlltg as
Well as tkat of Oraamen-tatloa.
That large ornamental hub caps with
which automobiles are equipped have a
purpose, aside from serving as ornamenta
tion, is pot known by all drivers. While
these capa add to the general appearance
of a car. they have also to do with the
lubrication of the wheels, and their utility
as a reservoir for grease probably Is more
the reason for their use than Is the fact
of the attractiveness to the eye. When
putting a car In commission, and occas
ionally. Bay every month or two, the in
terval depending on the amount of use. the
car Is given, the hub caps should be thor
oughly cleaned out, a 11 the grease and
verdigris removed, after which the caps
should be repacked. It also Is well to clean
out the hubs and bearings, washing them
thoroughly with gasoline so that dirt and
grit will be dislodged. When this has been
done, the moving parts should again be
lubricated, the huh caps put back tn place
and the car can be driven without fear of
trouble from Improperly lubricated axles.

Automoblllsts, who have at any time, de
sired to remove the clutch In a motor car,
may have found It necessary to move
either the motor or the transmission In
order to get at this part. They will appre

found In Premier motor cars, in the col
lapsible or telescoping clutch shaft between
the motor and the transmission. This; Is so

Farmer ComeS Into
His Own at Last and
Buys Automobiles
Last Year He Bought 28,000 Ma
chines, aa Increase' of 85 Per
Cent Over Year Before.

"That the farmer should eventually have
come to his own ln this country aa dis:
closed by the latest reports of the United
States bureau of statistics, is a matter of
national rejoicing, for to him we look
principally for our food and for the r&w
material with which our wearing material
Is made." says R. E. Olds, president of the
Reo Moton Csr company. '
"A careful compilation of all available
returns at this time shows that during the
year 1919 approximately 26,000 automobiles
were purchased by American farmers,
which Is an Increase over 1909 of. 85 per
cent and more than 400 per cent over the
motor ears which farmers purchased dur
ing 1908. .
"These facts Indicate that the American
farmer is raising maximum crops, which he
can readily market at the hi chest prices
known in several decades, if. Indeed, not
In our entire history. In fact, his In
come for 1910 will aggregate fully $!.2u0,000,.
000, which Is the largest amount of farm
products raised In one ye ar by any country
ln the world. '
"Being a well read man on all subjects
that pertain to the management, progress
und development of his farm, it Is but
natural that the American former early
began to study the relative merits tnd
advantages of the horse and the automo
bile, and now that his verdict Is over
whelmingly In favor of mechanical power
j as against animal power, it w-ould seem
that the motor car Industry Is certain to
gain a new Impetus therefrom ns It could
Sain In no other way.
"Fifteen years ago the gross Incomes
from the Kansas farms were worth 1113,
000.000, ten years ago they amounted to
1S0 000.000. and In 1!U0 to ,123,000.0y. While
these figures Indicate that Kansas and
Its sister states are prosperous, the best
evidence of wealth of the farmer Is found
In his bank deposits.' which today chal
lenge the admiration of every financier In
the country. These conditions certainly
testify to the American farmer's Intelll
gence. Industry, thrift, progress and busi
ness acumen.
"1 recall how a score or more of wealthy
w heat farmers living near I he village of
Haidtner. Kan., not so long ago raised the
money wtlh which to grade and equip a
ten-mile road to connect with a wiint
reached by two big railroad systems. This
they did after one or two appeals to the
railroads had failed. It cost them StuO.Wb
and their trains are now hauling their
wheat and other products 1o market. It
) is one of the few Independent railroads In
this country free from bonds or debt of
any kind. And now I am reliably in
formed the two big systems with which' li
connects are dickering with the farmers'
for the purchase of their line. With brains,
push and pluck of thia sort among our
farmers. It has never surprised me that
our sales have Increased so phenomenally
In the prosperous agricultural sections of
this country during the last three, or four
years."

Along Auto Row
The Cadillac Motor company of Detroit
has one of the most extensive and varied
exhibits at the show, one that Impels the
attention of thes autolst, no matter how his
taste lies. Touring and deml-tonneau cars
are prominent In the array. There Is also
the Inevitable foredoor touring and torpedo
types, together with a limousine.
Realizing the enormous field of the com
mercial vehicle and the Immense competi
tion that will ensue In this line of freight
transportation, the F. B. Stearns com
pany, manufacturers of the Stearns cars,
has put on the market a three to five ton
truck. It Is said In a letter received !y W.
II. Wallace, manager of the local branch
of the company, that some features em
bodied In the vehicle are new to the Ameri
can commercial trade. , .
All parts of the operating mechanism,
including .the special truck, power plant,
clutch, transmission and so forth, are car
ried on a subframe, suspended from the
main frame by semielltptlc springs in front
and a pivot connection In the rear. This
construction obviates all vibration and the
truck rides as easily aa a luxurious pleasure
car.
The space occupied oy the Ford Motor
company was simply gorged with humanity
from the moment the doors were opened.
This w as the first opportunity given eastern
autolst to view the Ford models for 1B11 at
an automobile show.
An examination of the new models does
not show any radical changes, from a me
chanical standpoint. The Model T Is prac
tically standard. There has not been sny
particular change during the last four
years in the car Itself. Various of its fea
tures have been refined. The different
body types have been made more comfort
able and serviceable and little convenience
have been added greatly enhancing the
pleasures of Its use.
The crowd was there at 10 o'clock In the
morning. It was big at that hour-big as
In the afternoon.
"The way people flock to this show," re
marked one of the foreign salesmen,
"shows that the cltlsena of Omaha and
Nebraska are deeply Interested In automo
biles. I think the fact that so many people
are here is a good sign of the times. They
must have money or they would not spend
their time around an automobile show."
"I like this town of Omaha," said a sales
man who had ben forwarded to Omaha
by an eastern company. "I am gonng to
make a bid to come here next year. My
firm and all the others are donng a good
business here, and I predict that the sales
for the week will outnumber those of any
previous year. I was at the Chicago ex
hibit a few weeks o, and It seems to me
that the Omsha show Is Just about as good
as that or any other In the west thia year."
The music furnished by the orchestra
was the best of the week. During the even
ing, when many leaders of society were st
tracted to the Auditorium, the orchestra
seemed Jo play sweeter than st sny other
time. "That orchestra surely Is making
good," said an enthusiast.
The Oldsmohile Is shown In the booth
of the Nebraska Bulck company. The Olds
mobile has been a most popular car In
the west. It Is a reliable machine.
There are more satisfied OLDS owners in the United States than any other. Just
nsk an OLDS driver if he has power enough, he'll tell you "yes." He has, he always
has. "We don't lack power, we never did; our 1911 cars are finished to perfection, no mat
ter what others may tell you, don't fail to see the OLDS cars before you spend your
money, as we are certainly giving a lot of car for the money.
We are on exhibition at the. Omaha Show, and will be at the Sioux City and Lincoln
Shows, also at all of our salesrooms.
Follow the crowd and you will find the 0LD3.
