Speaking of the White gasoline car yes
terday to William Drummond, A. E. Crosser
of. Minneapolis said: "We have been using
, the little "Oar" car and have pulled off a
number of stunts, and as far as gasoline
cars are concerned believe It is the best
thing In the country for the money. Wltb
four in the car we drove 100 miles in four
and one-half hours over country roads and
through mud, and sometimes we would
have to resort to No. t gear, never going
into No. 1. I was trying to see Just how
much grlof the car would stand. The car
is running just as It did when the car ar
rived and Is getting the usual hammering
and pulling about such as the customer
would give a new car."
' "The last day ' of December, 1S09, saw
fifty-five car manufactured In the old
and outgrown plant of the Ford Motor
company the first day of 1910 saw sixty
cars shipped from the new Fold plant, at
Highland park. The change was made
quickly and Quietly, without a brass band,
a clam-bake or a ball, but nevertheless
It was thoroughly done, and the various
departments are already settled down to
regular 'routine," aald Manager Gould of
Ford Motor Car company.
The old factory on I'lquette avenue will
be used as a parts factory, tool room and
pattern shop.
' The present capacity of the new p'.ant
)s 200 complete automobiles per day. In

four-story concrete and glass building,
there Is a machine shop 340x140, 6ne-story;
a shop office building 75x140, four-story;
a power house and a 4,000 horsepower gas
producer plant already built. A foundry
200x200 is to be started at onoe and a three
story 00x300 office building will be built
in the spring. Other buildings being
planned will soon uover the entire sixty
Her tract, which the Ford company owns
at Highland park., 1
Die occupation of the now punt by the
Ford Motor company should act at reat
the rumor wliirlt has arcured considerable
circulation, to the effect that the buildings
were uusafo and hud breii condemued. It
is aald these stories ere started by dis
gruntled contractors and cemotit makers.
In tills coiiiiectlon, the report of thV build
ing Inspectoi1, Dalton Russell Wells, a part
of which reads as follow. Is Interesting
fopy:
" "The various floor constructions were
'tested with a thirty-two and forty-seven
oiie-hundredlha per cent (32.47) uniformly
distributed overload, which showed a maxi
mum deflectelon of forty per cent t40) for
s ab, and twenty-six and two thirds a'S)
ler cent for beam o the allewable deflec
tion of each ufder a load for which such
construction was designed.
"The various deflections, under the teats
niaiie, also showed a great uniformity of
uss throughout the floor constructions,
which is a strong factor.
"These resultants prove without the least
doubt the absolute safety, of the structure
for the carrying of the live loads for which
the structure was designed."

am pciftcily willing to sign the hlggest
conduct ever made by an automobile
dealer with a manufacturer, and to put up
my deposit on the oars. I know that when
Mr. Chalmers says the lbll models will be
right they will be right. That Is enough for
me to know about them."

This Is the Car You W(ait
Now Is the Time You Want It
Tho Best Looking Coupo in Omaha
Now is tho time to buy an automobile. If one only
wanted a car for Bunny-Sunday-afternopn pleasure riding'
It might be all right to eave ypur money lor warm weather,
if he were sure he could get a car when he wanted It, but
the man who expects to get useful service out of the car he
buys ought to buy and secure delivery now. Winter has
Just started It isn't one-third -the way along yet, and if
there ia one time more than, any other that the owner of a
Ford appreciates hla car it is in these cold, wet, winter
months.. Any old kind of transportation Is all right In
June, but in January there ia nothing so acceptable as
traveling warm, dry and quickly" in a Ford.
And here's nnfhv pnint. to remember: There are
usually three buyers for every car that can be delivered in
the Spring; many an order will be placed in March that
cannot be filled before September. It has always been so,
and will be worse than ever this year. It's just that fact
that makes'a profit for the manufacturers of inferior cars.
You order a Ford for instance, and failing to get immediate
delivery look. around only to find it is the same with all -the
reliable cars. But you have the fever, cannot Walt, so you
buy anything you can get and are disappointed. Anybody
can order an automobile in April It's the wise man who
buys in January.
If you want a Touring Car and don't want to ride in an
open car this kind of weather, buy a Coupe and ride inside.
In tlie Spring get a Touring Car body for it. $125.00 buys
the body, two hours' labor makes the change, and the
Cotipe body is laid aside for next winter. You cannot
properly appreciate a Ford automobile until you have tested
its 36S day in the year practicability. The men who know
by experience are enthusiastic over the operation of- this
car out of "season."
The worst old "junk heap" will run In June, especially
if it is not bought until May, it's a good car that is run
all Winter. Count the Ford cars that pass you today and
you will begin to realize that Ford owners do not store
their cars in the winter. They may have bought them for
warm weather, but they are using them more than ever
right now. The next Ford car they buy will be bought in
December, or February, or any other winter month In which
they decide to get a car.
A prominent and wbll-to-do manufacturer in this city
has a number of relatives scattered around the rural dis
tricts he was born on a farm hfmself, same as a lot of tho
rest of vs. About once a week, no matter what the wea
ther or how bad the roads this manufacturer visits one of
these farmer brothers, as much to escape from the worry of
business as to visit his relatives, he says, and hia Ford
Coupe is always ready to take him anywhere. You wouldn't
believe us, anyway, if we were to tell you all the truth, about
the performance of this car you need to own one to ap
preciate it.
Then, there's a doctor one ,of several score of Omaha
physicians who own Ford cara who has a large practice
in the outskirts of the city. There are no paved streeta
where he calls. Before he bought his Ford Coupe he never
could comple'te his rounds of visits within decent hours.
Now he makes more calls in less time and has more time to
give each patient. If you as a doctor want to enlarge your
practice and still have more time with your family, there's
nothing better than a Ford for the purpose.
When you buy, remember a heavy-weight car make a
light-weight pockrt-book, ,that quality, not quantity, makes
strength, and that the low-priced light-weight Ford not only
is low in cost", but is low in gasoline consumption, tire de
mands and repair bills. It will go' further for less money
than any other car manufactured. Just let that fact sink
deep down into your thought reservoir, for if you overlook
it now and buy a heavy car you will have little chance to
forget it later on.
One mora thought; perhaps you want to buy a car, but
feel you cannot afford it. The inexpensiveness of the Ford
will surprise you. It doea not require a big bank balance
to buy, a large income to keep and a technical education to
operate. The average roan on an ordinary income can
easily afford to own a model "T." When you have time,
stop in and let us show you.

USE SOAP CAEEFULLY ON AUTOS
One Reason tot Loss of CJlosa on Ma
chine Bodies.
If properly cared for there Is no reason;
barring accidents, why the body of a motor
car should not look as well at the end of
six months' service as It did when first
delivered from the factory. When a car
has lost the first gloss of Its outer cover
ing It has not suffered in appearance.
but has depreciated spmewhat in value as
well. Of course, In time, any vehicle will
need new painting, but this should be a
matter of, years instead of months, an Is
too often the case. The une of needlessly
strong alkali soap In cleaning cars, neglect
to wash off the soup and failure to dry
the varnished surface perfectly are prob
ably responsible for more damage to paint
than all other causes combined. As a
matter of fact, neither soap nor water
should ever be used on a car above the
under sides of the mudguards, except in
cases wher tlie mud Is caked on the body
In large quantities. In most cars tlie first
slgna of wear of the painted portion in
variably show on the varnished surface of
the engine bonnet. This Is due to the fact
that it is frequently covered with mud on
the return from a run and Is then wanhed
with soapy water while the metal Is mill
hot. Soap should not be used on the bonnet
until it has rooted, and even then should
be carefully washed off. After a number
of washings while the' bonnet is Mill hot
the Injurious effect Is quite noticeabre, and
within a short period the car has to be
repainted, long before Its legitimate time.
