U1IGHER PRICE NO
CAUSE FOR WORRY
Nojfs-Killy Company Feels No Ap
prehension in Advance in Price
of Saxon Cars.
HIGH QUALITY IS MAINTAINED
The following letter from the Saxon
factory to Noyes-Kllly Motor company,
Indicates that the Saion peopl will
maintain quality of car, but the advance
in price la causing no worry whatsoever
at the Omaha office:
"This confirms our telegram announc
ing the Increase in the list price of the
Fix-cylinder car, both touring and road
ster types, to IMS.
"For your information we have con
sidered this Increase In price advisable
because of greatly increased prices in
materials and higher cost of doing busi
ness all along the line, owing to material
nd freight car shortages.
"The Saxon "Six" thoroughly worked
. nit and refined as it stands today, is
i 'Hflly worth 1815 in comparison with
' other automobile values. Every dealer
1 realizes this fact. Every present owner
realizes it.
m "Point out to prospective buyers that
this is the only car on the market at
anywhere near its price with the follow
ing features:
Six-cylinder motor, Saxon design,
manufactured by Continental Motor com
nanv. Rayfleld carburetor, admitted the best
maae.
Atwster Kent ignition, above criticism.
Timken axles, helical bevel drlvesr.
Full Timken bearing equipment
throughout chassis.
Honeycomb type Feddcrs radiator.
Two-unit starting and lighting system
marie hv Yflrner.
"Judging from our service department
records we feel safe in saying that the
Saxon "fllx" today is more thoroughly
free from anything in the nature of
rhronls mechanical troubles than any
popular priced automobile on the market.
H will render a high quality of service
to the owner under all conditions over
a very long period of time, and with
the minimum amount of trouble and ex
pense. In short, it is good from end to
end, and it is goodness, rather than
merely price which stabilises a car in
the market and Insures for it a large
and steadily increasing volume of sales."
Auto Tires This
Year Will Show
Big Improvements
"We have entered the season of 1918
with more extensive improvements m
automobile tires than in any season for
several years," says Joe M. Dine, branch
manager of the Goodyear1 Tire and Rub
ber company.
"The entire line of Goodyear tires, from
the smallest to the largest, has been im
proved ' by reinforcement of fabric and
rubber in the side walls, rendering them
even less liable than formerly to side-wall
Inlnrv. v
"Our 30x3 and 30x34 Uses are now made
larger and stronger, tiie former being 20
per cent and the latter W per cent larger
than heretofore. TV.se ' improvement
ere made with the Idea oC offering- the
greatest' possible vafua to the users of
those sixes, that they might enjoy the
name degree of freedom from tire trouble
as users of larger sizes.
"To meet the demand for greater resll
iency and shock-absorbing qualities in
tire equipment in the commercial car
field we are now offering large pneumat
les ranging in else from 36x4 to 42x9. This
new tire has many advantages over dual
pneumatics. The maintenance of equal
air pressure in duals has long been a
problem, which is solved most satlsfac
torlly In the large pneumatic."
Motorist Pulls
Out of Mud with
Storage Battery
While demonstrating a new car a .sales
man for the Charles (S. C.) Motor Sales
company, got into a pretty mess. He
might have been there yet if the Wlllard
storage battery en the car hadn't come
to his assistance.
County roads aren't always boulevards,
as this man soon discovered. The car
performed beautifully until it was driven
Into imid and water so deep that the
motor stalled. Water came in through
the carburetor air Intake and starting
again was impossible.
Luckily for himself and his prospect
the demonstrator wasn't afraid to try
something. lie ran the motor from the
Wlllard starting battery, slipped into low
gear and pulled the car entirely out of
the mudhole with the electric motive
power. Afterwards he said that while
he wouldn't recommend car owners using
their batteries in this way, at the same
time he was mighty glad he had a bat
tery as good as he did.
Conductor Mistakes
Salesman for U, S.
Secret Service Man
certain salesman, representing a
large rubber company, was recently mis
taken by a railroad conductor for a
united states secret service official, this
misapprehension being caused by a pin
carrying the seal of his company which
the salesman was wearing.
The salesman in qi.stion was sitting
In the rear seat of a day coach. When
the conductor reached him he looked at
the lapel of the salesman's coat, punched
his ticket and then asked him where he
expected to find his next victim.
The salesman, who represented the
t nlted States Tire company, states that
for the life of him he could not Imagine
why the conductor chose to class deal
ers who' sell such remarkably good tires
ss "victims." Or, in fact, why a railroad
official should show such interest in
I' nited States tires,' because no railroad
uses "Nobby" or "Chain Treads" on any
of its rolling.
FIFTEEN MAKES OF CARS
USING "DELCO" SYSTEM
Smith, the "Delco" man who recently
jnoved his service station into larger
(lusrters. has been dUr laying a picture
t'uni a magazine with much pride.
r This." says Smith, "is one reason why
we moved. Fifteen leading makes of
automobiles are uain? our equipment.
Prominent among th.-se cars are the
Hudson, Cadillac. Packard. Buick. Oak
land and Pathfinder.. At the rate of
speed these cars are selling the inspec
tion of our starting, lighting and ignition
systems keep us busy."
Gipsy with Ultra-Modern Ideas
Heads for Coast in Gaudy Chariot
Ixing before the first robin dares set
foot on northern soil John Florls, a
South American gypsy, and band of co
workers, living In a small cottage n
West Indianapolis, will have started for
the Pacifto slope over the old National
road in a motor-propelled palace that
will make the main ticket wagon of the
Barnum A Bailey clrous look like a coun
try hotel bus.
This resplendent domlolle Is built on
a Buick D-4 one-ton truck chassis which
is equipped with a Buick valve-ln-head
thlrty-seven-horse power motor and
mounted on pneumatic tires, and was
built expressly for Mr. Florls. It is
the first car of the kind ever turned
out in this country, for indeed the ge
nial and progressive Mr. Florls Is the
first of his kind to dlsoard the horse
for the motor car. While this nomadic
vehicle is not equipped with quite all
WOMEN ANDJjOOD ROADS
ImproTed Highways Will Be Boon
to Feminine Motorist Who
Drives Her Own Car.
OPENS GREAT OUT-OF-DOORS
"Who has said a worA about what good
roads are going to do for women?" asks
Charles Oorkhlll, manager of the Ne
braska Haynea Auto Bales company.
"We have had dinned in our ears that
good roads are going to profit the gen
eral public by cutting hauling costs, vivi
fying the country, booming real estate
values, but no one has no much as Inti
mated that good roads have benefits In
store particularly for women. They
might well feel that they have been
slighted.
"Women and automobiles have been
marked as bom companions. A few
women drove ears when they were
cranked by hand. But since the advent of
the self-starter, and Improved steering
devices, the connections between milady
and her automobile have been especially
close, for women may now take their
oars and go where they please, so long
as streets and roads are good.
"Just now few women venture taking
their cars out over country roads alone.
Thoroughfares outside city limits have
offered rigors and discomforts that she Is
unwilling to put up with on a pleasure
spin.
"Level and solid roads, kept up the
year around, are going to place the sun
shine and good air of the country at the
feminine driver's pleasure every day in
the week. Highway Improvements will
make a wholesomer woman by extend
ing her touring radius In parts where
he needs most to go."
CHANGSTROM BRANCHES

FIVE THOUSAND MOTOR
LICENSES ARE ISSUED
That this year will beat 1916 In the
matter of increased applications for
automobile licenses Is indicated by the
fact that already 6, MO have been applied
for. The high mark for 1916 was 6,000.
The ceunty treasurer handles the

Its fondest hopes more than realised In
this newest thing In motor cars, and it
will be a dull pessant, indeed, who will
not stand awed and bewildered when
this vermllllon-hued gasoline wagon
thunders through the sleepy towns and
villages along the old National trail.
When asked In regard to his plans
for the future the Latin featured and
picturesque Mr. Florls replied in well
broken English, "Humph, we all early
