You Can' Have a
Cadillac at Cost
I am going to dispose of my entire stock of Cadillac auto
mobiles, including nine carloads of Style 57, 1918
models, which arrived from the factory just recently--at
exactly what they have cost me.
Here is why I make this extraordinary offer:
. Recently, as has been announced by the Omaha newspapers, I secured the contract
- for the sale and distribution of the Peerless Eight motor car in Nebraska and south
1 . western Iowa. I no longer represent the Cadillac company. This change was made
after I had completed arrangements (including selection and purchase of 1918 model
, cars) to handle the Cadillac automobile .during the present year. I had been the dis-
tributor in Omaha and contiguous territory for nearly nine years.
Naturally, after changing factory connections, I expected the Cadillac company to
take the cars off my hands. I offered them at a sacrifice of thousands of dollars to
" me. The company woulonot accept my proposition. Then I made the same offer to
its new Omaha distributor, but we could not agree. .
I extremely dislike to cut the price on the Cadillac car. It is a splendid car, worth every
cent asked for it by Cadillac dealers. But I must turn into cash the investment I now
have in these automobiles. So I am going to offer you what I knovr is the best motor
, , car bargain ever offered to the people of the middle west.
Your choice of a brand new, 1918 Cadillac roadster, phaeton, touring car,
victoria or brougham at a saving to you of from $200 to $350, depending
. upon .the style you select.
On the same basis I will also dispose of my large stock of used cars many of these
Cadillacs practically as good as new.
During the nine years that I have been in the automobile business here I have built
, . up a reputation for honest representations, fair dealing and dependable, . satisfac
', tory service, which I prize above any other asset. I am equipped, at my new quar
. ...... ters, Thirty-first and Hamey streets, to give the best possible attention to cars. I
will continue the policy I have always maintained and will continue to do business
at my present establishment. Every Cadillac car sold by me will be sold under the;
standard guarantee of the manufacturer. My Cadillac cars are now on sale at our
building. Our salesmen are ready to demonstrate them and deliver at once the car you
choose. First come, first served. They will not remain long unsold they cannot, at
the price.
Don't wait. As a dealer of many years' experience with the better class of motor
; - cars, I again tell you, this is the biggest bargain in the automobile line ever offered
in Omaha. Get your Cadillac, NOW, while the price is lower than it is likely to be
again. Come today or telephone for an early appointment.
. :M you are in need of Cadillac parfs, I can supply you. I have a large supply on
, . hand, which will go at the same sacrifice being made on the motor cars.

"The visiting nurses do a large
work educationally along lines of san
itationalso teach mothers how to in
telligently care for their children, thus

Women Past Forty
Are Making Good
Chicago, Feb. 21. Women past ti e
40-year mark are being given their
place in the industrial sun and daily
are disproving the statement that thev
are incapable of filling important po
sitions. Miss Florence Schee, head of
the bureau of employment of the wom
an's committee, State Council i'or De
fense, is demonstrating this in Chi
cago by replacing men and young
women in various commercial and
industrial activities with women past
the two-score mark. The success with
which these women fill the positions
is being attested, Miss Schee stated,
in the numerous testimonials of em
ployers and the steadily increasing de
mand for these women.
Miss Schee is specializing in plac
ing women past 40 and untrained in
commercial fields. Out of 500 given
employment only 15 have failed to
qualify, Miss Schee said.
Success of This Class.
Testifying to the success of this
class of employes in commercial work
is the following letter made public
by Miss Schee:
"We find that thewomen you have
recommended arc far better than any
we have ever had. They are ex
tremely conscientious and they have a
sense of loyalty to their work and
their employer that one rarely finds
among their younger sisters. We will
take all-we Can get."
"I think it is ridiculous to say that
the untrained, unattached woman who
has passed the age of 40 cannot take
her place i:i the industrial world," Miss
Schee said. "When this type of woman
first began to apply for postions here
we asked employers to take her, if
for no other than patriotic reasons.
But now we are receiving letters daily
in which heads of firms tell us that
these women are just as satisfactory
and in many cases even more so than
men or younger, women. They tell
us that they are just as efficient and
more faithful and steady than the
others."
A Place for Women.
The contention that there was no
place for untrained women past 0
was made recently at a meeting of the
employment committee members. It
was argued ther. that youth and train
ing are essential to successful compe
tition under existing conditions.

Even Wealthy Children

, Not. only the children of the poor,

danger of 'under-nourishment if their
mothers do not properly understand
food values, Miss Nellie Farnsworth
of the federal food administration em
phasized today in a talk to Miller
Park Mothers', club in the school
auditorium. .
' "There are five classes, of food and
each child must have one food from
each ', of , these classes" each' ,day! in
order be ' well fed," said Miss
Farnsworth. "The classes are: First,
milk and . milk , products, meat and
meat products' and substitutes; sec
ond, cereals and breads; third, whole
come fats; fourth, fruit and vegeta
bles, and, fifth, sweets."
Care in putting up lunches for
school children was advised. "Candy
is not the only way to give sweets to
children. Syrup, honey, 'dates and figs
are better," she said.
Public kitchens for women who are
employed during the day have done
good work, Miss Farnsworth pointed
out. "Everything must be done to
uphold the homes and the home ideal
now that so many women are in busi
ness, she said. Miss Farnsworth spoke
of conservation as applied to the child
and emphasized the necessity for
training them well, for they are to
carry on the work of the reconstruc
tion period. Readiness to care for
the children orphaned by the war.
to take them into homes instead of
leaving them to wholesale bringing up
in institutions, was recommended.
