FACTORY IS WORKING MGHT3
"Whm a dralrr says 'plesse' and othor
nlie things to the rales munaurr of nn
nutomoMIe company, there l .only una
'oncluflon to be drawn, anil that Is that
that denier wants cars anJ wants them
mighty bmlljr." .said. laushlnRly. ltobert
Huenrhnw as ha showed a telegram Just
received from the Alinncapolls distribu
ter of Ken c.ir.
" Ties so. dear Mr. Fales Manager,
won't you ship Mlnnrapolts six extra
arloads of Reus, any model tteos. Just
as Ion as they are Ueos, and soon,
t'aakes Auto company.'
"That's a sample of 125, average, tele
crams 1 receive every day only they are
not all so sweetly worded as that one.
They run the gamut sll the way from
nwetir words to pet phrases mostly swenr
word or other language that might as
well be, since their meaning Is clear.
"Factory is running to capacity and
beyond, for we have had an extra, night
shift on for several weeks. So ea.h
dealer Is getting his full quota, accord
ing to his original allotment. But the
i-ry li for more Just a few extra enr
loads. ' And they never ro satisfied
'why Minneapolis got a trainload otil:'

'.'It is most rmtlfvlnir and at the samo
time most trying to the poor sales man
ager. It taxes his Ingenuity and his in
tegrity to the limit to keep all deah-rs
satisfied and to keep them feeling that
each Is getting Just the same treatment
as all others. Borne of them won't be
lieve that and so quite a percentage of
the telegrams are accusations of partial
ity, while others are In the nature of
bribes to sentiment.
"We are gulng like a house afire
though, and we hope to catch up soon.
Material Is piled tip so high on the fac
tdry doom that It broke through in two
place last week. That material Is go
ing through the machines Just as fast as
possible, considering always quality.
More machinery has been Installed, more
men put to work and we are doing our
level best to make enough Meos to go
.round. i
', "Nice telegram that from Fawkes be
lieve I wilt try to squeeie out three ex
tra carloads for htm. That will ease
Minneapolis up a bit even if it doesn't
wholly satisfy Its hunger for Reos."
Europeans Marvel
at American Cars
European are watching closely the per
formance of American cars ia the great
war, and upon the service they give de.
pends the demand for the various Amerl
' can makes when the war Is over, accord
. ing to Jules Gulndey, Detrolter distrib
utor in France. '
"American rara have given extraordl
narily good service, and have withstood
the-" hard usage much better than - the
smaller European cars," writes Mr. Uuinv
dey from tfahtes, France, at which point
he is stationed as a member of tho motor
dlspatoh corps. T am "arising an" old
model A Detrolter which has been In
service every day since the war broke
out under conditions which have been too
much for .even the larger Frepch and
English cars.
"It Is an 111 wind that blows no one
good, and the splendid record of several
American makes of moderate price cars
will mean a big business for them when
the war la oven It is certain that people
who wish to purchase tars will prefer
American cars, and even If It were other
wise it wfll be a long time before French
manufacturers will be In shape to make
and market cars. The prices of French
cars and parta have advanced from 15
per cent to 20 per cent, which will prove
a big factor also In favor of American
cars." ' '

visit has secured an additional l"0 lncd"4

and 'the cars will arrive In Orriahn the
early part of this week. His sue-ess Is
quite remiirkable In view of the recent
announcement of the factory that they
had all tho orders they could possibly

but Mr. Huffman's long association with
the factory ami splendid selling record
established with them was of such suffi
cient Importance to warrant them mak

PIERCE-ARROW TO MAKE ,
, NOTHING BUT SIXES
A great many rumors have been afloat
regarding what the ".Plerce-ArrowTHofor
Car company Is making; or going to
make. These rumors have brought from
the company a reiteration or their pre
viously announced policy for the calendar
year of 1915, and an addlt'onal state
ment, which should have the effect of
stilling all rumors predicting radical
changes in FierceArrow cars.
The company s complete statement is
as follows:
" 'Series Three' Fierce-Arrow models
will be continued, as previously an
nounced, throughout the calendar year of
1911
"If by the end of' that period, our en
gineers havo been able to perfect any re
finements, we will Incorporate them In, a
new series of six cylinder models. '
"When we have found and developed
something really better than our present
'altf.'- our friends shall Ihave the benefit
of thut. development."

automobile, concern to have two cus
tomers Xor every car In stock, but that

nmk,. quick trips to Omaha with Hup
mobiles. Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock
the Lincoln branch was communicated
with over the telephone to bring jp a
model K Hupp, and at 6.1;. the car ar
rived and a waiting customer climbed in
and went on to his destination In Iowa
without even putting In a drop ot water
or any gasoline, as the engine was
quiet and cool as If it had only been
driven around the block. This car was
taken by J. R. Teriwllllger of Defiance, la.
Pome indication of the amount of busi
ness being done at the Chandler factory

wires during the last two weeks exceeded
thet of any other organisation In the city

Don't yoa think
that of all the new 1915 Models yon havo seen
the Reos Four and Six
are by far the most beautiful
the most distinctive in design
the most graceful in contour
and altogether the most impressive and pleasing.
Of course you know a Reo by sight
it's a part of motoring education
to be able to distinguish
the more famous makes of cars by sight?
All automobiles look alike
only to the inexperienced and the unobserving.'
So, if you don't know a Reo by sight
you should avail yourself of the
first opportunity to study and familiarize yourself
with the points of desigm as well as of
construction and finish of the two latest Reos.
tYqu will soon ;learn to recognize the Rco frcDit-:;
v thradiatdr witli ihe curve at front ; ;
and the famous Kep. name; plate. ;

-
Note at the same time . ; :
how the sloping lines of the bonnet v ; '
blend into the car&fuHy moulded cowl and the'
latter in turn into the toxe stream-lin o body.
Once these jhaye been fixed in your mind; ,
you will recognize every Reo as it glides . :
silently, smoothiy, swiftly past you.
You'll be surprised ito find how mtmy Reos
there are on tfiie rtuds hereabout.
And the more Reos "yon see
the more will you learn to admire them
the more will you covet a Reo.
Both are Great Big Beautiful Cars
the Six just a little bigger than
the Four when you see them standing side by sideT
And when you are studying the lines and the curves
that make Reos beautiful and distinctive
take advantage of the occasion, to test also
the riding qualities and the
engineering excellence that make Reos famous?
Need we repeat the warning '
that if you want a Reo of either Model
your order must be in our hands at once
else we may hav to disappoint you.
Demand is tremendous
Reo year, this.
