Packard Single 8” Is on Display
| -rr-—-f ’ --!---:-1
The Packard “Siiijjle 8” is now on
display in the show rooms of the
KIchardson Motor Car company, the
local Packard distributors. This is
the first model of the newly produced
eight to reach Omaha. Little change
has been made from the distinctive
Packard appearance, only that the
lines have been extended somewhat to
accommodate the new eight-cylinder
motor. The chassis design includes
many of the newest features and im
provements, the most notable of
which is the four-wheel brake sys
tem.
big war, before he knows who explod*
ed the bomb.
The distance on these first five
holes are 370, 390, 495, 525 and 485.
That’s something to face while the
nerves are still quivering.
And most of the route is trapped up
to the handle, leaving no opening for
any mere wild slugfest.
This start will crack more than one
stout heart. And the second hole will
take as heavy a toll as the longer ones
—w’hat, with its punishment of sand
to the left and its crushing water haz
ard jammed into the green at the
right.
Great Variety.
Inwood has a double quality of va
riety. It calls for both distance and
control—for both wood and iron and
pitch through the fairway.
And it has every variety of trouble
known—out of bounds, a vast shoal of
traps and pits and bunkers, seaside
rough and rushes and here and there
jutting woodlands that are not to be
taken too lightly and certain dog leg
holes.
Most of the greens are trapped as
cloaely as the sand can be shoved and
tightly guarded, where the penalty
will await each slip.
And most of the greens are rolling
and billowy, where it la important to
get the second shot fairly close.
There isn’t much open territory left
for any slipshod Journeying to the pin
—and it is no great trouble to reach
the rough, and then suddenly discover
a 7 on the card.
The full course will run between
8,600 and 6,700 yards and there are
also about that many forms of trou
ble, although, by keeping straight and
plying the putter, one can drop to the
low 70s quite feasibly. The main
trouble will be to maintain a 72 or a
73 clip for the four rounds.
Use All Clubs.
When the best of the courses be
come baked out by broiling suns all
standard values are badly depleted.
But with a fair share of rain before
the big test, the Bong Island meeting
place of the mighty will give both
.wood and iron all the tvork they need,
and not turn most of the approaching
over to the mashie niblick. There
will be Joy and hope in the heart of
the golfer who slips by the first five
holes in only one or two over 4s. But
It is easy to run up 23 or 24 strokes
on these first five holes, and a start
of this nature always ha* the ten
dency to start one forcing or over try
ing to recover. A slow start in medal
golf frequently has a most depress
ing effect, affecting the play later on.
and thpre will he few from the field
who will get away blithely at Inwood
over the first five holes. They will

raggedly and still keep his determina

Auto Industry
Starts on Last Lap
of Greatest Year
Conservative Operation Puts
Companies on Sound Foot
ing—Prices May Drop as
New Models Appear.
By I'nlrrrml Service.
Detroit, June 30.—With six months
of unprecedented business now a
matter of happy record the automo
tive industry tomorrow opens the
last half of what will certainly be
the greatest twelve months in its
history. Particularly reassuring at
this time is the fact that the industry
is in a healthier condition than ever.
Bankers say that industry has
more cash on hand than ever, orders
are still running high and the out
look is excellent. The recent slowing
down of production when orders con
tinue to pour in in great volume was
the very sagacious move that brought
about the present condition.
Apply Breaks.
The January production started
marching upward with steady ca
dence and set new records in each
succeeding month until a few weeks
ago, when manufacturers voluntarily
applied the brakes and assumed a
tight grip on the situation.
Through this timely attention
motor car makers averted a possible
repetition of the crisis that followed
the like period In 1920. As a final
result of this conservative operation
the industry is now on a most sound
footing and well prepared for the
eventualities of the second half of
the year.
The industry will soon appreciate
the value of having its house in
order for the coming period promises
to be the most eventful on record.
It will pay every company to be “on
Its toes."
bales Campaigns.
Here are sqme of the reasons:
1. A great many new models are
due on the market August 1. Many
are scheduled to appear this month.
Sweeping change* In design are
promised In several Instances. Inno
vations will be common.
2. Competition will he even more
keen as a result. Prices have al
ready shown evidences of weakening.
This will be more noticeable within
six weeks when seven or eight re
ductions will probably be made.
3. Weaker and smaller companies
which did very well 1n the first half
of the year as a result of "cutting In"
on the overflow business are facing a
stiff tussle. '
4. The bulk of the sales during the
second half of the year will likely be
done In farming communities. The
next big sale* campaign* will be di
rected Into the agricultural districts.
It will cost more money to sell ears
during the second half than during
the first. Only 15 per cent of the
people In the United State* live In
the 12 cities having more than 500,
000 Inhabitants each. ,
6.750 Car* Dally.
Another evidence of the contlnu
ance of prosperity Is the steadily ad
vanclng Ford schedule. The Ford
factory ha* more than lived up to
its June quota of 6,750 rars dally and
now announre* a dally program for
July w hich calls for an output of 6.803
car*, the greatest dally grist on
record. August promises to run still
higher, although factory officials do
not expect that the 7.000 a day mark
will be reached In the next few
months. The I.lncoln division of the
company broke all record* during the
week ended Tuesday, when 191 car*
were made. Rickenbacker steps out
today as the third car in America to
adopt four wheel brakes, Puesenberg
and Packard single eight having *1
ready employed them.

The V-type, 90-degree, 8-cylinder Cadillac

ever produced. The Cadillac factory has
recently announced that it will be contin

"We could ‘get by,* " says the Cadillac

tor that would look fine and operate well
for a time, but we would rather build and
sell the very best motor that money and
scientific designing can produce.
"The Cadillac V-type, 90-dcgrce, 8-cylin
tier motor has proved its merits by satis
fying the buyers of high-grade motor
cars for nine years, and when Cadillac
owners do desire new cars, they rarely
experiment with 'new-fangled' automo
biles that appear. Cadillac owners show
allegiance to their trustworthy Cadillacs
—further proved by the registrations of
automobiles throughout the land.”
