Men Who Are Making Omaha
Several years ago, when the Ne
braska Bulck Auto company was
being formed. It ♦'as essential to sm
ces# that an Omaha man he aecured
for the office of vice prealdent. Sev
era! years hefors that a start had
been made on a homestead out about
six miles west of Hopper, In Dodge
county, Nebraska.
That was wrhen Lae Huff first
opened his eyes. When he was about
5 years old his parents moved to
Fremont, and there he grew up
through a happy boyhood, attending
the public schools, swimming In the
Platte river, and doing other things
a normal boy would do.
Among these normsl things was to
loaf around the telegraph office until
he became an operator. Then he en
tered the telephone service at 16. and
here he went through various grades
of employment and promotion, until
eventually he waa local manager at
Crete. Here he took up politics, and
waa elected police Judge.
Returning to the telephone service,
he was successively district man
ager at Fremont and then at Grand
Island. Ha acquired some property,
ran twlcs for state representative on
the democratic ticket, and then went
to Lincoln, In 1905, still with the tele
phone company.
In 190* he made his entry into the
automobile game, and from then on
his real prosperity dates. When the
Nebraska Bulck company was formed,
Mr. Huff came to Omaha as the vice
president. His work here has not all
been In the automotive Industry, al
though ha sticks to that fairly well.
He owns a big apartment house, some
smaller residences, has built the Mg
building occupied by the company,
and generally has been active on
these lines.
Mr. Huff Is an all around sports
man. a great traveler, and social In
his disposition, belonging to most of
the Omaha clubs.

Don’t Be Misled
No ordinary "olive oil” soap does
what Palmolive does
a
Palm and olive oils have been for ages the world’s supreme cos
metics. Cleopatra used them Roman beauties used them. Then in
Castile soap—real Castile—olive oil reached enormous fame. But
men never knew how to make those oils supremely effective until
Palmolive Soap came out
Consider the result Palmolive has shown millions the way to
new complexions. It has made lines of age passe. Blooming skins
are so common now that anything else is conspicuous. Palmolive
has become, by proved results, the leading toilet soap of the world.
It is made in five countries, to supply the world-wide demand.
It is made in France—the home of fine cosmetics—because French
women prize it so.
Yet the price is 10 cents—as low as common soaps which claim
an “olive oil” ingredient Soaps with artificial color, soaps largely
of animal fat So many people are misled into classing such soaps
with Palmolive.
Palmolive Soap is a unique creation, based on 60 years of soap
study. It brings one palm and olive oil effects in ways never known
before. Were that not so, it would never have reached the pinnacle
place of today.
There are soaps that compare with it—two that we know. But they cost you 25 cents.
Cheap “olive oil” soaps will sadly disappoint, if you seek for Palmolive results.
If you seek a mere cleanser, the crudest soap will clean. But the Palmolive appeal
is to women who seek beauty and perennial youth. Don’t think that such results can
come from ordinary “olive oil” soap.
Probably nothing in all history ha* done so much for beauty as Palmolive Soap.
Nothing else is doing so much today. Don’t let claims of olive oil rob you of these results.
