In spite of the uncomfortable weather
luce the season opened dealers have had
about all that they can do to supply the
demand for cars. The severe winter mak
ing it next to Impossible to automobile,
made everybody anxious for the season to
open. They have been out in every possible
weather and they have been buying oars.
The game has been so strong that the
'majority of the dealers have sold their

of the season. All of them have been to

It Is In this department, however, that
no small portion of the success of the
Plerce-Arrow cars is worked out. Some idea
of the work done may be gained from the
fact that between 10,000 and 12.000 determin
ations of the constituents of metals are
made every year Almost every form of
metal used In the trades is tested out dur
ing the course of a year and should a ship
ment of forglngs or castings fall below
specifications, the laboratory is the first to'
announce the fact It is there that the ten
sile strength tests are made, too, and for
this purpose a 100,000-pound testing machine
is kept in service.

President Wyllle of the Oberland com
pany, was the guest of Henry H. Van Brunt
of Council Bluffs, not many days ago. Hi
was returning from California where he had
spent the winter. - Mr. Van Brunt in his
usual hospitable maoner, showed the bead
of the great automobile manufactory a
pleasant time, and Incidentally went over
the season's business wrth him. Mr. Wyllis
was delighted with Council Bluffs and
Omaha. The record of sales made by the
Van Brunt Auto company was particularly
gratifying. The rise of Mr. Wyllis to the
presidency of one of the greatest automo
bile concerns In the country, make a story
of Intense Interest. In another part of the
paper Mr. Van Brunt tella the story. It is
worth reading, Whether, one is a dealer or
not, or whether one owns an Overland or
any other make of machine.
The Kissel Kar people have brought out
the Warren Detroit. They have made a suc

team of good strong workers and generally
impress a customer.
George Relm, manager for R. R. Kimball,
has a faith in the Cadillac that will move
a small mountain, hi friends 'say, and his
love for Stevens Duryea amounts to a wot
ship of the fiercest sort.
Wlllard Hosford wears a great smile
these days. The Velles have begun to come
He Is filling orders to beat the band, and If
the shipments keep up, there will be "some
Velies gwine on around here."
H. E. Sidles, general manager at Lincoln,
of Nebraska Buick company, is looked upon
as the best automobile man in his part of
the state. He Is one of the coming men
of the west In his line.
Lee Huff, local manager of the Nebraska
Buick, is one of the best posted men In
cars In the country.
It Is about as Important for a dealer to
advertise the cars that he has sold, as it
is to advertise those he hopes to sell. Sat
isfied customers of cars are the greatest
strength of the dealer's business. Men and
women like to see their car written about
They like to know that Mr. Dealer thinks
enough of his machine to make a fuss over
it, and that his sales did not stop with their
purchase, '
The special automobile editions of The
Bee have been praised unstintlngly over the
country. In some sections their makeup has
been adopted by good papers, their front
pages taken and the matter used in the
ads has been appropriated.
The Bee's special editions are boosts for
the automobile game. They are the eame
thing to It, that a state fair is to agricul
ture and stock raising.
In these editions is centered every good
thing, and Interesting thing that can be
said of automobiles. Wide awake dealers
welcome these specials. Their advertising
is worth Just about four times as much
as it is In an ordinary number.

length and sixteen throe-fourths Inches In
depth. In general the .idea shows the Glid-d-n
trail coming out of the southwest and

In the left-hand lower corner are the shield
of Chicago and the emblem of the Chicago
Motor club. All three emblems are to be
finished In colored enamel, while more
enamel work will be found In the upper
corners of the plaque.
Adjustment of Ilrakrs.
The adjustment of the -brakes is even
more important than that of the bearing.
They require treating according to their
individual construction. Two points, how
ever, should be borne In mind: First, that
the pedal or hund lever should not he at
the limit of Its stroke, even when the brake

ing surfaces should not rub anywhere when
the brake is off.
