Preparation for the greatest show ever held in this part of thes country is being made. Not only will, local people be deeply interested in the show, but the fanners of Nebraska, Iowa and the Da kotas are rapidly becoming automobile owners and will carefully inspect this season's crop of new cars. ' 1 The Omaha Bee will issue its fourth automobile number Sunday, February 20th. This will embrace all possible information about, automobiles. It will be embellished with appropriate illustrations and items of interest to dealers, to owners and to prospective buyers. 1910 will be a big year for the automobile industry in Nebraska and western Iowa. Many pres ent owners will want new oars, and business prosperity haa made it possible for many people who have never before owned automobiles to become 'purcnaser8 this year. The local market as well as the country market dependent upon Omaha, was never in such promising condition, and automo bile manufacturers wiho take advantage of the situation have the biggest opportunity in their his tory to increase the sale of tbftir cars. It is a splendid time for new cars of merit to4e inteaced here. l i Practically every man and woman in Nebraska and Iowa who will buy automobSco t-ufl year reads The Bee. The Bee's automobile advertising increases are not forped by schemes. Consistent advertising has sold the cars. Every1 line of The Bee's automobile advertising is paid for at it3 regular rates. There are no exchange deals. It supplements its advertising with interesting auto mobile pages and while it does not follow the usual publicity copy, it prints everything it knows about the local dealers and their cars in its own way. The Bee endeavors to make automobile news interesting locally to both dealers, owners and prospective buyers. And it has succeeded. The Bee's automobile advertising appears in its daily and Sunday issues throughout the year. Week in and week out the' automobile manufacturer guided by" his own experience and by the experience of his Omaha agent, who knows the territory and the paper's prestige, prints his selling talk in The Bee, because he knows that it pays him. . , . The Omaha Bee has kept pace with the growth of the automobile business in this part of the world. It is in the forefront, it printed three times as much automobile advertising in 1909 as in 1908. And for the last six months, including January, 1910, the record stands: The Omaha Bee 8,199 inches. The World-Herald 5,633 inches. The Bee leads by 2,566 inches.

Since tha erection of the new- hospital many addltloas and Im provements were, found absolutely neces sary and the cost of these overtaxed the resources of the association and left It with a burden of debt, which Is now lifted through the gelieroslty of Mr. Edmundson, and of those who so freely contributed to make It possible for the association to take advantage of his offer.
