ALSO DISTRIBUTOR FOR WESTERN NEBRASKA 111 the selection of a fine Motor Car, the more discrim inating purchasers are as much concerned about the his tory of its manufacturers as about the particular model they are considering. They don't want to be left with an "orphan" on thei? hands. Perhaps I had better explain that "orphan" is a term used among dealers to indicate a car whose makers, have gone out of business. Not only is it difficult to obtain parts fcir an "orphan," but It is almost impossible to sell one on the used-car mar ket. Many purchasers, therefore, will buy from builders whose past record reveals a conservative, manufacturing policy and consistent growth. Such conditions aro found in the building of the AUBURN BEAUTY SIX. The Auburn Manufacturers have been in existence long enough and its reputation is established, having had over nineteen successful years in the manufacture of The Auburh Cars. I, therefore, take great pleasure in introducing to the people of. Western Nebraska, the new line of AUBURN Cars, especially the Beauty Six, and ask the Public to ex amine our cars before buying elsewhere. Satisfaction guar anteed and adjustments guaranteed for six months on these cars. El Class 4,A" Garage. Phone 235. , Dealer, 721 North Locust. North Platte. W. J.
