HEW DRUHHOND IS
READY FOR MARKET
Omaha Made Car a Model for
Beauty, Grace and Solid
Comfort.
PREPARE TO BUILD MANY
Omaha can now boast of her own
automobile which, by the way. docs
not take the dust of any car m its
class. The new creation is tli: li uui
inond High).
For sonic months the nrntuinomi
Motor (ompany ha Ivi'ii (ievo'inK its
energies to the nianutaciurc ot' auto
nobiles and the new model which will
soon be produced in considerable
numbers is a car well worth the
consideration ol jirospcctivc buyers.
The mechanical construction is
more that satisfactory and every ttnit
is a proven success. The body retains
the graceful lines characterizing the
Drummond built bodies, which have
been on numerous Omaha cars for
lome time past.
Beauty and Comfort.
Th new touring car body realizes
the great opportunity for beauty ami
comfort afforded in a style of design
that will distinguish the coming sea
son's models.
There is comfortable seating space
for five passengers. The deep seats
give a pleasing sense of coziness and
.security.
Touring cars are now driven the
greater part of the time with the top
up, which makes the design and the
construction of the top of great im
portance. With this realization, un
usual care has been taken to con
struct the Model 17 top as a part
of the car and to have its contour
in complete harmony with the body
proper.
The back of the front seat is fit
ted with two mahogany finished cab
inets for storage of small articles,
and will be of great convenience to
lady tourists. These cabinets are fit
ted with locks and keys. The side
curtains for the top are carried in
a compartment immediately under
these mahogany cabinets, and the
space provided is ample for the care
of the curtains and protects them
from the dust and breakage of the
celluloid.
In the upholstery, straight grain,
bright finish, hand buffed leather is
used.
Roadster for Three.
In the roadster seats are provided
for three passengers. The flush side
body is provided with a luggage com
partment and tires are carried at the
rear. The top is very easily raised
or lowered. In style and materials
the roadster and the touring car up
holsteries are similar.
The Cloverleaf body provides for
four passengers. Front seats divided
and ample space between for free and
unobstructed passage from front to
rear seats. Rear seat is forty .four
inches wide.
Sand Hill King is
Making Records in
Colorado Springs
I lie king of the sand hills, J. J.
dia . of Hyannis, Neb., reports an
other pleasure trip in a Hupmobile
vhirh li. H. Houliston, manager of
tin Omaha Hupp branch, says "kind
of -hows the car up."
The latest achievement ws a drive
to the lop of Pike's Peak, and in
liragg's brief way of telling it, it is as
follows: "Have been driving out here
(meaning Colorado) since Sundiy.
Drove to the top of Pike's Peak and
onlv put water in once. After I came
down 1 drove eighty miles without
lifting the hood or putting in water.
I filled her with gas and oil in the
morning and never looked under the
hood until the next morning. From
McCook to Denver I averaged sixteen
miles to the gallon of gasoline."
Allen Car to be in
Three Colors With
Its Cream Wheels
The Allen Motor company of Fos
toria, O., has advised. the Standard
Motor company that the new Classic
models will be "turned out" in three
body colors, namely, maroon, blue
and brown. All will have cream
colored wheels.
The Allen classic is a very invit
ing piece of mechanism and is one of
the classiest jobs on the market at
less than $1,000.
Uses Newspaper to
Boost All His Lines
M. P. O'Connor, secretary of the
Powell Supply company, is a strong
advocate of newspaper advertising.
Quite a number of the lines which
the Powell company controls in this
territory have included the Omaha
dailies in their advertising campaigns
and the increase in their sale was im
mediate and extensive. The Powell
people themselves keep the good
points of their main lines constantly
before the newspaper readers.
Velie Firm Gives
Five Thousand to
French Relief Fund
"The New York Herald received a
telegram a few days ago reading as
follows," says 1.. K. Dotv, local Velie
distributer:
" 'We are sending you New York
draft for $5,000 to he used at your
discretion for the relief of the hope
lessly crippled French soldiers This
is cliccrtuUy contributed and is but
suggestive of our real and deep fee!
uig of sympathy for these unfortunate
patriots. Velie Motor Vehicle Com
pany, by W. 1.. Y'elie. President.'
"This contribution is one of the
largest received from anv American
firm for use in Ked ( toss work on
the oilier side and indicates the sym
pathy which prompts the Velie com
pany to aid the French in their hu
manitarian work. Some time ago Mrs.
W. I.. Y'elie- gave a superbly appoint
ed ambulance to the American Ked
Cross society working in the war
zone, which equipment greatly aided
their efforts.
"This Velie donation is to be used
to help train the maimed soldiers in
those trades which will make them
useful anil independent citizens after
the war is over an effort worthy of
commendation. The handsome dona
tion may be considered one of the
finest tributes paid to those brave
men who have risked life and limb
for the cause which they think is
right."
Rosengren Gives
Some Good Hints on
Storage Batteries
Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska
Storage Mattery company says: "In
examining a battery that appears to
be dead, a hydrometer syringe should
he used to determine the specific
gravity of the electrolyte or the solu
tion inside the battery. This test
should be made before adding water.
Should the battery charge prove to
be lower than 1.275 it is necessary to
have the battery recharged. This may
be done in cases where the battery
is not too weak by doing considerable
running with small use of starter and
lights. In this connection, it is very
important to see that the generator
i is working properly.
I "Inspection of wiring to make sure
I that there are no grounded wires from
! insulation being worn off, no cor
; roded terminals and no poor connec
I tions: testing of lamps and cleaning
1 of generator brushes are always as
' essential to efficient electrical per
; formance as the cleaning of car
j huretor and gasoline is to motor
efficiency.
"Sometimes the generator does not
charge the battery sufficiently to
meet the unusual demand of some
particular driver for cranking the
motor and operating the lights. In
such cases Mr. Rosengren recom
mends that the owner visit the Ne
braska Storage Battery company,
where expert assistance can be had.
to secure satisfactory lighting and
starting service. Never trust a
novice to repair or recharge a stor
age battery and do not tamper with
your own battery beyond filling it
with pure water and testing it with a
hydrometer syringe. By following
these precautions and operating the
starter and electric lights with some
degree of intelligence and economy
eood results are bound to follow."
Real Enjoyment
For Motorist is
In Making Tours
"The plan of a national touring week
August 6 to 12, is one of the best ideas
1 have seen originated in connection
with motoring for some time," com
ments Hugh Chalmers, president of
the Chalmers Motor company. "The
plan was inaugurated at Detroit dur
ing the World's Salesmanship con
gress. "Too few automobile owners really
cash in on half the benefits that
might be derived from their cars. The
average man drives down to his of
fice in the morning and home at night.
Perhaps he takes the family for a spin
after dinner.
"But as for packing the tonneau
with touring duffle and striking out
cross-country on a real motor vaca
tion, not one-tenth of the American
motorists know its possibilities.
"There are so many motor camp
outfits, tents, beds, stoves, etc., which
are compact and easily carried that it
is quite possible to make a trans
continental trip without once seeing
the inside of a hotel. On the other
hand, if the rigors of roughing it do
not appeal, the country-wide good
roads activities have made it possible
to travel anywhere on the continent
without difficulty and find comfort
able lodging every night.
"Every man who owns a car, if he
can possibly arrange to get away,
should join in this national touring
week. Those people who do not own
cars, but are planning to buy some
time in the near future, should buy
now, for the best part of the touring
season, the late summer and fall, is
still ahead."
MAXWELL DEMAND

C. W. Francis, Local Distribu
tor, Finds it Harder to Get
Cars Than Sell Them.
HAS A FEW CARS ON HAND
"We arc lUunj; tin Kst vc ;ui

anticipate."
l itis i? the message that i . Y.
''ratios, local distributor for the Max
well Motor company, I in ., received
from M r. ('"landers, l he president of
the company. l.M week, in answer to
a demand that hipnient of cars be
rushed.
"'o thoiiRht f knrw tilt public,
thought that we could tell just exactly
what the demand would he and we
plannrd to meet that figure. Hut the
result lias been far greater than we
even dared hope for. We have a new
idea of the popularity of the Maxwell
car.
"The Maxwell was a remarkable
value at the old price. Now, with the
price reduced to $o''5, it is not sur
prising that we cannot keep up with
the demand. Dealers everywhere are
clamoring for shipments, and we are
rushing our plants as fast as we pos
sibly can. Four hundred cars per dav
are being built, and shipments are
being sent out in gi eatei tpian tines
than we imagined would be possible
for our organization.
Keep Prices Same.
"The public will have to beat withi
tis on deliveries. Take care of them1
as best you can. and s.i lli.il we ate
doing everything in our power t. net
the cars to them, without v;uriiiemg
the quality. Tins ureal demand 'or
cars now is the result of the unusiul
value we have ofteied in the past, ami
we are not going to compromise it m

to hold up delt ci irs h-i several
