THE OMAHA y SUNDAY BEE: APKIL 7, 1915. CADILLAC MEN ARE L0115 ASSOCIATED r:cnin Big Motor Car Fac t-7 , Have - Specialized Tin Work for Long :tr?- : Tims. . "A-recent1 checking-tip of it shop arganuatioa by the Cadillac Motor Car company has revealed some facts Khiefc are of especial interest at this t'i," psserts J. M. Hansen of the J -icsiiiisen Cadillac company. "Perhaps the most impressive fea t ire developed is that, in a very larje . measure, the men who dothe fine machine work- on the Cadillac car Save been in the employ of the com- p-ny and associated with each other . 'o- years. ' - " "la the Cadillac factory are 52 ... (uperintendents. department managers x":id foremen who have.been continu ously employed by tW company, for i.iofc, than 10 years, many of them ' even (5,, years or longer. There are 141 other whose service is between five and 10 years. Practically all of - these men. of course, are above the ige limit for military service, at least jo far as the draft is concerned. "ThU list of 195 men contains the name of one who has been in Cadillas jervice 20 years,-one with an 18-year record, and the average term of em ployment for all of them, Including the five-year men, is well over even years. ' -" , "In commenting on these facts, the company observes that 'it would be possible to duplicate the mechanical equipment of Cadillac shops, but the . 'know-how factor the man element is beyond duplication. "The man who has been engaged for five, 10 or 15 years in the special ;ed business of making tools or pat terns, cutting gears, machining con necting rods or any of the multitudin ous other functions required in the production of the car, has reached the point where the required processes, although highly specialized in them iclves, have - become second nature ith him, and his interest is absorbed 1 in the development of minute refine ments.". rv : V . LIBERTY LOAN . HAS PEEFERENCE : IN U. S. TIRE AD Among the first of the large na- J tional advertisers 'to take up the duplex plan of advertising advocated by the Liberty loan committee in connection with the third Liberty loan is the United States Tire company, whose copy for April will be a com bination of Liberty loan and tire-selling appeal. . ' Under the duplex plan, the adver- . tiser it asked to prepare and furnish his own copy arid in it to advertise , both the loan and his own product. In previous campaigns the advertiser was ssked to donate space or funds with 1 which to buy space in which Liberty insn rnnv rmanatinff from loan ad vertising headquarters was to appear. But the duplex plan was believed by the committee to offer an excellent opportunity to demonstrate by means of linking up the business advertising with the loan advertising that the one big business today is the war and It. sttrnifii1 nrnirrutinn. For some time the United States ' Tire company has been injecting the "war idea'' into its copy and such war problems as the transportation iitua tion have been persistently featured. The company's copy for April will lay stress on the Liberty loan and will at the same time talk Ignited States tires. j "What we purpose to show in our iLberty loan advertising." said J. N. Ciunn, president of the United States Tire company, in discussing the plan, "is that as far as our company is con cerned we are for the success of the , war first and lor the success of our business second. We intend to make it clear in this series of advertise ments , that our whole weight and rvery resource at our command .is n listed in America's fight" 1 ''Price Advance Bound to ' 4 . Come, Says Saxon Dealer v"The enormous supply of material bought by the Saxon Motor Car com pany under the old prices and stored sway has at last been exher-'-i" as terts W. L. Killy of the K , -Killy Motor company, t"and the, ,.ice of saxon models must advance, eflcctive ' April' 10. ' ' V "Harry Ford, head of the Saxon . Motor Car company, fortified himself against this situation when it became evident that prices of raw material would continue on their upward flight for some time. At his direction every spare dollar which he could command was invested in raw material. Thus the Saxon manufacturers were able in maintain ihe low nrice until now." In commenting upon the price ad vance Mr. Killy leels that the aaxon still maintains the same relative posi tion even under the advanced prices owing to the increases effected by competitors. ' 'The Saxon," asserts Killy, "is still the lowest priced six cylinder car on the market." . : Car-Finish Protected In giveaway Delivery Since freight congestion compels that many motor cars be delivered from factories to dealers under their own power over the road, the ingen uity of manufacturers and dealers has been at work to devise an effec tive way of protecting the finish from the effectsT of road splashing. Many methods have been proposed, and the Cadillac Motor Car company believes the plan evolved by its dealer at Baltimore to be one of the most efficient, i ; . A framework of light wood is at tached to the car and over this is . placed an envelope, , properly fitted. AH parts of the car except die wheels " and; the front fender are protected by water-proof material, which is held firm and taut by clips and cleats. The wooden frame prevents the en velope from rubbing thenne nnisn, or coming into contact with it at all. Even the Interior of the car ! pro i tected, for: the envelope extends up ward to the lower edge of the top. V ; Utility f Mash. : '''.'''"

AT AUTO CLUB "I understand the club is getting quite a bunch of hlp from the- public in theft cases." said a new member the other day. Just then the telephone ranj and one of the club 'members called up to tell the secretary that a Mr. Moran. a farmer living three miles from Florence, had arrested an auto thief. The man arrested called Tuesday on Moran and asked the lat ter to take him to Florence, as his car was disabled. Moran learned later that the disabled car was a - stolen car. Wednesday, while on a Twenty-fourth street car, Moran i.oticed' the fellow on the back platform. He immediately pulled him off at Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets and turned him over to the police. The club attorneys are following up the case and expect to land a conviction for the one arrested and his pal also. "What good is the theft law put through by your club?" asked a pros pect of a club member. "My car has never been stolen? Why should I worry?" "What good is an undertaker to me?" replied the club member. "I've never been killed I" A Melodrama in One Act Scene; Automobile parking space any where. . Persons: Mr. A. and Mr. B. Time! Any time any day. Mr. A. drives up and parks his car correctly. Goes in store to make a few purchases. Mr. B. (parked alongside Mr. A.) comes out of office building and gets into his car. Backs out without much regard to whee he is going. Suc ceeds, in jimming" Mr. A.'a front tender until it resembles a cauliflower ear On a bunged-up pugilist. Swears a few times at Mr. A., not because he parked correctly, but just to have something to swear at and get the ac cident out of his system. Finally backs out and goes away. Mr. A. comes out of the store, looks with a frown at his iimmed fender. "Well, what the " he starts. Then he nods to fiimself. "Another parking accident, and I'nf the goat. I'll never know who the amiable motoric is either." " : ' . Parked accidents are happening every day. Jimmed fenders and smashed lights are common. Suppose it were your car? You would want to know the, name of the guilty party. Why not co-operate with the 1,200 dub members and telephone the sec retary the license number of both cars when you see such accidents. Let's right this wrong. Co-operate with your fellow motorists I The club has righted a number of such cases through members' co-operation. t The Capitol highway, a new road organization, is to mark a route from Wayne, through Wisrler, Dodge, Snyder, North Bend, Morse Bluff, Cedar Bluffs and connecting with the Cornhusker highway, on south through Colon to Lincoln. Marking will be done in a few weeks. Mr. Scott of North Bend is one of the officials of the new highway organization. Alas, hard roads have a hard road to travel I Down at St. Joseph, Mo., where they carried a $2,000,000 bond issue for concrete and brick roads, someone is trying to block the sale of the bonds on a technicality, claiming the vote was not by secret ballot in regularly equipped voting booths. An extensive nonresident member ship campaign will be put on in a few weeks by ' hairman Brewer of the membership committee. "We expect to get 1,000 new members from motor ists outside of Omaha," said Mr. Brewer. '"The fee. is half the cost of resident membership. We already have quite a few hundred members in Iowa and Nebraska." S. W. Cashner, field secretary of the Omaha-Lin coin-Denver highway, has started out on his 1918 duties of cov ering the route from Omaha to Den ver, boosting the road and obtaining activity from county officials in need ed repairs and improvements. The 0.-L.-D. highway reports that Lancaster county is advertising for bids for the tlx miles of brick west of Lincoln on. this highway. The discussion of the advisabjlity of securing for Nebraska a road law sim ilar to Iowa's, which was agitated last Saturday night at a banquet at the Paxton, at which State Engineer Mc- sub- for o the 1 and Donald was guest of honor and speak er, is an important topic and good roads enthus.asts should keep the ject alive and kicking.

Brisk Demand for Light Delivery Trucks Evident "There is a considerable demand,' asserts S. Orloff of the Omaha Motor Sales company, "for trucks of the light delivery type among merchants who are doine a retail business. "We have sold a number of Corliss delivery trucks and are now ' dispos ing ot several models used, as demon strators. These. ) of course, are in good shape, but, owing to the fact that they nave been used, we must sell at a sacrifice." 1 for low gasoline consumption the new Sfudebaker 19 Series cars are without a peer.

MOST EMPLOYES ANSWEE CALL AND ARE VACCINATED 'i Omaha's business center will soon be well vaccinated if the present rate is kept up much longer, according to Health Commissioner Connell. Em ployes in a majority of the big houses were vaccinated during the last week. At the M. E. Smith & Co. plant 400 were vaccinated during the week, in. eluding A. C. Smith, Joe Kelly and the entire office force. All employes of the Iten Biscuit company have been innoculated, as well as all at the David Cole plant. All employes of the Burgess-Nash store, Brandeis Stores and Hayden Bros, have an swered the call of the health commis sioner in his efforts to stamp out smallpox n response to the request of the federal government that an ef fort be made to wipe out all traces of smallpox in cities, where soldiers are quartered. Dr. Connell said he got IS letters Friday from heads of firms, assuring him their loyalty and their desire to respond to his request." Yeggmen Blow Safe in Branch Office of Morris & Co I Yeggmen entered the offices of tlu Omaha branch of Morris & Co., 1501 Cuming street, and blew a safe Fri day night. They gained entrance to the building by breaking a heavj screen door in the rear. Old aprons, sweaters and caps, found lying about the offices, were used by the yeggs tc muffle the sounds of the explosion.
