He then often discovers too late, that the value he supposed was there is missing. Some buyers are apt to judge a car largely by its appearance. The automobile buying situation was summed up the other day by one of our engineers, who said, in speaking of another make: "From across the street I wondered why people buy our cars and pay more money for them, when they can get the cars. These cars look snappy. The advertising of their manufac turers seems convincing. Mr. query, however, was answered when I looked beneath the hood. Later in the day I talked with the representative of the concern who builds their cylinders. You know, such stuff as is put into that car, beneath the surface, we could not even consider. Case could not afford it." "Unfortunately, the average automobile buyer does not ap preciate this fact. He is possibly convinced by their advertising, though on close examination even this is of the same flimsy con struction as the cars. The terms used are general and evasive. They list many things in their specifications, but they give no definite information. I compared the specifications of this par ticular car with our specifications. I wondered then how they ever sold one of their cars." That is largely the whole situation. You have to take some one's word for what is under the hood. Whose can you better take than that ot a company such as the Case Company? Our catalog completely describes the details of construction, giving minutely the specifications of all materials and accessories. Everything "out on the board," because we boast of the smallest part of these cars. This catalog is yours if you are interested in the motor car situation. We tell you in this booklet how we can put values into automobiles where no other manufacturer pos sibly can.

The big tractors will be given a chance to demonstrate their merits at the Nebraska state fan Thursday, Sfrsptember 10. A tract of land has been secured and tractor men will show what their machines will do under the man agement of experts. Progresshe farmers have been making in quiries concerning the tractor demonstration and are planning to watch the proceedings. The condition of John Swanson, the man who was run over by the automobile of I). T. Tyson on Monday evening, took a decided turn for the worse last evening, when signs of a severe internal injury developed, and the family of the unfortunate man, as well as the attending physician, hold out but little hopes of his re covery. This morning h seemed to be sinking and it is thought that death will be the final out come of the unfortunate accident. The facts in the case are being thoroughly investigated by the authorities, and so far they seems to be as was stated in the Journal last evening, and that at the time the car struck Mr. Swan son it was proceeding at a very slow rate of speed. As is usual in cases of this kind, all manner of wild reports are given as to the fads in the accident, and the pub lic should not jump at. the wild eyed rumors as to the fads in the case. It is certainly one of the most deplorable accidents that has occurred here for a long time and Mr. Swanson, who is. an in dustrious, hard-working man, has the sympathy of a host of friends in his suffering, who are hopeful that lie may recover, but the chances seem very much against him.
