Stealing of Kadiator Cap,
Add Style and In
dividuality to Car.
The Gmeral Automotive Corpora
tion of Chicago ha recently design
ed a combination niotometer lock
and radiator cap wliicli crve two
jmrponri. l"irt, it provide a thief
proof lock for the niotometer and,
teronilly, a handsome nickclplateJ
radiator cap which alto is practically
thief-proof.
In addition to eliminating' the con
nun t worry on the part of the mo
torist concerning his niotometer, the
monogram inotomctcr look addi a
touch of style and individuality to
the ue of a monogramed shield
which is prrinanently attached to the
radiator cap and bears either the in
itial of the owner, his lodge emblem,
or the emblem of his club.
The monogramed motomcter lock
is so arranged that the radiator cap
is permanently locked when it is
screwed on. The niotometer is
fastened to the radiator cap by
means of a hinge and a thumb screw
so that water may be put into the
radiator by merely loosening the
thumb screw. This is a water and
steam-tight connection and undoubt
edly is much more convenient than
removing the entire radiator cap.
The United States Kubber com
pany and the Powell Supply com
pany have purchased stocks of these
motomctrrs and numerous car deal
ers in Omaha have endorsed this
niotometer lock as the best thing
on the market today. Ira L. Wood,
formerly connected with the auto
mobile industry here, is now con
nected with the General Automotive
Corporation and was responsible for
the introduction of this new moto
mcter lock in Omaha.

Oldsmobile Prices
Drop; "Six" Sell for
Less Than Ever Before
Oldsmobile prices have now reach
ed a level which seems almost im
possible to those familiar with fac
tory production problems, asserts
Charles A. Tucker, president of the
Nebraska Oldsmobile company.
Some of these prices are lower today
than they ever have been.
"For instance," said Mr. Tucker,
"the Oldsmobile six is now selling
for $995, f. o. b. factory, which is
the lowest price ever placed on an
Oldsmobile six. Corresponding re
ductions have been made in all mod
els manufactured by the Olds Mo
tor works, including the Oldsmobile
Economy truck."
Mr. Tucker feels that the Olds
Motor works have given the public
the benefit of every influence which
has made lower prices possible and
feels that these low prices will be the
reason for a brisk demand for Olds
mobile models.

American Autos
Wearing Better,
Statistics Show
Figurei Compiled by Cleve
land Trut Company Trove
That More Cars Worn Out
In 1919 Than in 1920.
There ha been a steady and
definite improvement in the wearing
qualities of American motor cars
according to figures compiled by
the Cleveland Trut company. The
total number of ear registered in
1919, and the total number sold in
the United States during the year,
taken from the 1920 total regictra
tions shows how many cars were
worn out in 1919.
The figures show that in 1915 14 5
per cent of the cars in use were
eliminated; in 1916, 10 per cent were
discarded. In 1917 only 1.5 per cent
dropped out. in 1918, 5.3 per cent,
and 1919, 5.9 per cent.
"With better roads cars travil
farther on the average each year,
and yet they are lasting more years,"
said If. M. Jewctt, president of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car company.
"Our records on our cars also
clearly demonstrate this.
"A few years ago 50,000 mi'es was
looked upon as absolutely the maxi
mum life of a motor car. Yet there
is in operation between Gooding
and Jerome. Ida., a Paige scven-pas-senger
touring car that has turned
up over 200,000 miles in something
over three years, and is still in
service. It makes three to four
round trips each day in stage serv
ice over the rough Idaho highway,
loaded with passengers and bag
gage. This indicates what modern,
well-built cars will do."

Why They Choose the Paige
Since the first of the year more than 25 per cent of our
sales have replaced cars of much higher price.
Buying habits have changed. Men who can afford five
and six thousand dollar cars have developed a canny
shrewdness. They have learned that peak price no
longer guarantees peak performance or maximum value.
This conviction is brought home to them when they
compare the Paige with the cars that carry the biggest
price tags. Power, endurance, comfort, beauty and
economy in any and every test the Paige 6-66 is
triumphant. That is why discriminating buyers are
choosing the Master of the Highway as the 'greatest
value on the market today.
