Good Roads at Less Cost, Aim
of Head of State Highway Club
W. H. Blakenian of Norfolk
to Speak at Chamber of
Coimnerre Today.
YT. H. Blakeman, Norfolk, believes
that good roads are Indispensable to
the progress of a state or city. Of
course’ tfiat is part of his dally
routine as president of the Nebraska
Good Ttoads association. But he
really -believes In it, and that Is one
of the reasons he is president of the
body.
At Hotel Conant last night he
stated his position clearly, aYul out
lined some of the plans for obtain
ing a suitable number of good roads
in the state. He will address the
joint good loads committee of tlie
Chamber of Commerce today noon.
“Nebraska, we 'know, is ’way down
in the list of good roads. That Is a
fact which is not good advertising,
but Is nevertheless a fact," he
said.
“There Is $4,(MO,000 of federal Kid
money waiting for Nebraska and its
roads. The $8,000,000, the $4,000,000
which the state and counties would
raise, would do much In bettering the
roads of the state.
“A 2-cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline
would help raise the requisite amount
of money quite easily. This is one
of the matters the state association
is trying to push. Another Is a non
political state highway commission.
This would take roads and their
building out of the hands of politics.
“The Lincoln highway is the most
important road in the state. It should
be completed first. The Meridian
highway should conte next. The Blue
pole highway which should beglh at
Omaha and go through the north of
the. state, through Wyoming, joining
the Tellowstone highway at Douglas.
Wyo., is progressing rapidly. This road
is of prime importance to Omaha.
“Madison county commissioners
have evolved a plan to lower the cost
of finishing roads. They bid with
contractors on tile work and then sub
let at a 10 cent profit. . This profit
—that’s what makes every
body like ITEN’S Graham
Crackers best!

Graphic Meter Sbowa Growth
of the Orchard A Wilhelm
Buaineae Since 1*91.
JUST as it took all the courage and energy of that
daring pioneer, Charles H. Dewey, to discover if
Nebraskans would buy good furniture, so has it
taken years of continuous enterprise and study to estab
lish just how much merchandise Omaha and territory
will consume in a given period and arrange for its eco
nomical shipment and handling; securing the lowest
prices and the best discounts for prompt payment.
t The burden of this task and all it means has rested for thirty
f one years, through good times and bad, upon the shoulders
f of two Omaha citizens, E. W. Dixon and C. M. Wilhelm.
To ship furmtHre, linoleum,
stoves or other bulky mer
chandise in solid cars saves
the retailer from 5% to 10%,
to say nothing of the extra
discounts of from 5% to 15%
generally allowed by the
manufacturers on carload pur
chases. To take the cash dis
count means yet another sav
ing of from i% to 7%. Add
these savings together and
you have aggregate discounts
of from 11% to 32%, ulti
mately to be passed to the
consumer in better value mer
chandise by Orchard &' Wil
helm Company.
