MAKE YOUR NEXT STOP AT HOLDREGE City Affords All Accommoda tions for State Tourists; is Distributing Point of Southwest Nebraska. Holdrege, Neb., is a city of 5,000 people, situated in a fine agricultural district and it advertises itself truly ""as ''the distributing point of southwest Nebraska." It is located on the Burl ingtoa railroad and the O-L-D high way. It makes itself the medium of ex change for the crop and stock raisers . of that territory and the manufac turers of Nebraska and the east who have the needs of the farmer to sell him. Implements, automobiles, dry goods and groceries and the thousand and one things that the farmer needs and buys are handled by the merch ants in Holdrege. The Holdrege Ice Cream company and the Kennery Palmer monument firm probably carry the name of the town farther in western Nebraska than any other firms there. They - distribute clear to the Colorado line and up and down the branch lines ut of Holdrege. Affords Pleasant Stop. For the autoist the town holds pos aibilities of a pleasant stop. It is pretty Nebraska small city and this ear the people there are paving the usiness section. There are a num ber of first-class garages, a good hotel, several restaurants that make specialty of the tourist trade. Sit uated a half day drive from either , McCook or Hastings, there is many an autoist plans to make a stop there. One of the sights of the town is the ; Holdrege auditorium. A civic Imposition, it is the second largest n the state and it has meetings for 11 of Phelps county and for many Of the meetings for all of Phelps county and for many of the meetings . in that part of the state. ConnectH ' with it is the town band, a 28-piccc organizaion that advertises it in ;i good light wherever it goes. Harley-Davidson Cycle Popular at Camp Dodge Victor H. Roos, local distributor for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and bicycles, made a quick trip to the factory at Milwaukee last week to see if more speedy delivery of machines could not be forthcoming, for never . befort have the sales been so nu merous as this season. Harley-Davidson dealers all over the country are clamoring for machines, for not only is there a big retail demand but the factory output to dealers is very lim ited as. Uncle Sam is taking a goodly share of it. Mr. Roos also spent one day at Camp Dodge where 159 Harley-David son machines are being used in the j daily routine. O-L-D HIGHWAY STANDS FIRST AS PLEASURE ROUTE Has Country-Wide Reputation as Finest Dirt Road in World; in "Tip-Top" 1 Shape. Known the country over as the "finest dirt road in the world," the old highway, leading from Omaha to Lincoln to Denver, has built up a reputation to sustain and plans are being made this year that will make competition keen for any possible as pirants. Running through a splendid farming district, over clay roads that are easily worked after a rain and yet do not disintegrate into fine clouds of dust, it carries the tourist spin ning on his way. From Omaha the journey can be made in almost any stages that one desires. A short journey can be made to Lincoln or one can run there in the morning and make another run to Hastings in the afternoon. At either place can be obtained fine ac commodations both for the tourist and his car. From Hastings the run can be made to Holdrege for lunch and in the afternoon to McCook. Many people in high powered cars run di rectly from McCook to Denver, others go to Sterling, Colo., or to Greeley Colo., for the night. If the journey has as its destination Pike's Peak ho tels the trip is usually made to one of the Colorado towns and from there the rest of the Colorado run in an other day. All the way are to be found comfortable accommodations This is How the Oldsmobile Factory Utilizes Railroad Flat Car vy r a """us"- 3?Ww - , fl and plenty of good meals. An ambitious plan of keeping things in the finest order has been made by the official of the O-L-D for this season. At the big state meeting held at Hastings in May, reports were made from the various districts on the route and everywhere there, came word of the early work done and fur ther work planned to keep things right all summer. Federal and State Aid. The federal aid given to roads this year had aided the O-L-D in many places and state aid is also given at certain points. At one of the places which has caused a little trouble in the past, just west of Lincoln, there is being put in this year a six-mile stretch of paving, which will take from the minds of those who are re sponsible one of those spots which gets lots of wear and is a little hard to keep free of ruts. All along the South Platte tier of counties comes word of the fine equipment which has been obtained to make the crowning and dragging of roads an easy matter this year. Tractors have been installed at places where they were lacking and the cul verts repaired and many new ones placed. The O-L-D keeps a road man out all the time on full time, who drives over the road, organizes the work where things seem to be on the verge of slipping and keeps things shjpshape generally. The realization of what good roads mean to the country conies home to people of this country when they realize from reports from France what wonderful things are done there with the auto over the fine highways. The fact that train ser vice has been cut to a minimum has made many realize and appreciate what a boon to the farmer and to anyone who travel the auto can be this year. The farmer is ready to do his share to keep things in order that his crops, and even he himself can save valuable time and money in transportation. Many hauling com panies have been organized to take (arm produce to markets this year, and all this tends to make a real road in a farming, community.

Improving Every Day. i m We're Figuring a Long ay Ahead GOOiS uusiness men today believe that permanent suc cess depends on giving the public the best possible value. This is the policy The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is trying to pursue. Goodyear is not looking for mere temporary sales. . If they were they might offer us dealers an extra discount as an inducement to push Goodyear Tires. But the public would pay the penalty in higher prices or inferior tires. Instead Goodyear turns that extra profit back into the tires into more fabric and more rubber to make better tires. Thus more consumers and more car manufacturers are using Goodyear Tires, and we dealers sell them because they get more customers for us. We Goodyear Service Station Dealers are satisfied with smaller profit per tire because we sell tires to more customers. Think, then, the vast amount of savines that we Goody ear Dealers all over the country help put back into additional material, to make better tires for you. An extra "inside profit" to the dealer, of 10 per cent on a $25.00 tire, would be approximately $2.00. But we Goodyear Service Station Dealers forego this inside profit for the sake of handling tires on an enduring, value-for-value basis. We get our profit on the volume of business which Goodyear quality brings to us. We sell the product best for the consumer because we believe it to be good business. We are figuring a long way ahead.

CD " the encouragement it extendi to its workmen to offer their ideas, cover ing better working conditions, meth ods of manufacture, greater perfection of product and more efficient methods of merchandising. No workman gets "bawled out" for suggesting a change or an improvement. However incon sequential his suggestion may seem, it is given due consideration by a regu larly appointed suggestion board, and if adopted, a cash award is made. Sin gularly enough, some of the most valuable suggestions adopted have come from the most unexpected sources. Laying Out Routes Here is a most practical touring hint. In laying" out tours on the map, use a piece of fine chain, such as is sometimes used to hold eyeglasses. This chain is so flexible that it can be laid on the roads to he followed and it is then a simple matter to meas ure the chain and ascertain exact dis tances, by reference to the scale on the map.
