Especial attention ha. been given by the
dealer, toward showing th. automobile ac
cessories of which Omaha has been made
the distributing point for the entire west.
When the Chicago show wa. on all Omaha
dealer, went there and some arranged to
be exclusive western agent, for all aorta
of "accessorlea a. well a. for automobile.
Thl. I. of Immense advantage to dealer, in
the west for the Omaha dealer, can sell
Just a. cheap a. the eastern agent, and
save time and the express between Omaha
and the east on all sort, of automobile
supplies.
The demand for automobile, ha. been un
precedented thl. spring and many dealer,
have sold their entire allotment. The auto
mobile business haa reached auch an extent
that the demand far exceed, the supply, and
the question I. no longer what machine, a
dealer can Mil. but what h. can obtain
from the factories, for it 1. no trouble to
Mil the flrat-claa. machine, a. fut u
they can be obtained. Fredrickson and
some other dealer, have a different deal,
however, and have contracted for so many
machine, each month, so that during the
winter while machine, were not being sold
these machine, were coming from the fac
tories Just the same and the consequence Is
they have quite . supply on hand.
Other Vehicles nn thaw. .
Automobiles will not be the only Item, of
Wet est' at the show, for other motor ma
chine, will be exhibited. Including motor
boat, and motorcycle, and motor truck.

Lmui. Fleecher will -exhibit all .ort. of
motorcycles, and has some built especially
for thl. .how, and ha. also soma new ma
chines from the enstcrn factories. Mr.
Fleacber ha. built . motorcycle for himself

Is fast coming Into general use for all sorts
of purpose., especially for package delivery
In the larger cities. It can cover an Im
mense amount of territory during . day at
a small cost, and several are now success
fully being used In Omaha.
Interest in Motor Boats.
Motor boat, will also be shown and
member, of the Omaha Rod and Oun club
are anxiously awaiting the arrival of
some of these models, for many have de
clared their intention of buying for use
at Cut-Oft lake thl. summer. Several were
In use 'there last year, and the owners
were the envy of all the members, for
what la more pleasant on a warm evening
than to glide over the .till water, of the
lake at the expense of only . small amount
of gasoline. Of course, the real fishermen
of the club are not much In favor of this
style of boats, for the chug-chug of the
engine can be heard to the farthermost part
of the. lake, and is said to scare the flslie.
to their most hidden retreats, making them
hard for the fishermen to lure.
