The east Farnam property owner had made up a bonus of $0,M) to give tha Woodmen for getting their building started within two years, and It looked for a time as If half of It wou'd have to be started on the east side before the hard ware company could be got out. , The contract signed Friday provides tor the company to move by February 1, 1911, and makes It possible for the tearing down of the building to be started about January L Tha Milton Rogers company has made no negotiations for continuing as tenant In the new building on the same corner that It has held for a long -tlme but there Is a posslbllty that It will- do so. Twenty stories high and equipped with every convenience of the most modern of fice building, the new home of the Wood men of tha World will be the biggest struo ture In the city of Omaha.

Tou certainly can get over the ground In a motor ear; Some days we made ver 154 miles and w didn't need to feel that w we hurting the car. When you rid a horse over seventy-five miles a day you have to be careful that you don't do him an injury. Of course, with a horse . you don't have any gasoline to buy or any tires to fix, but I figure that you more than make up th cost of your gasoline by th shortness of time It takes you to go from one place to another. If I were going to ttart out to se tha country I would prefer an automobile, because X -oould see so nvuch more in a ehort time. How ever, I think, a good deal of my horae, and after riding him to New York to meet Roosevelt I would not tak tl,600 for, him. Thla Is probably mora money than be la worth because I oould buy three Brush runabonta for that, but he haa carried me so many miles, that I have become greatly attached to him.

The Abernathy Kids,' famous because of their horse back ride from Oklahoma City to New York to meet Colonel Roosevelt on his return from jungle and court, returned to their home in the far Southwest in their own Brush Runabout, with Louie, aged 9, at tho wheel. They left New York July 6th and reached Oklahoma City July 29th. The boys chose a Brush Runabout because it is the only car they could start and handle without help, and so simple mechanically they could understand every thing about it. Their car was a standard. stock model, an exact dupli cate of the car you can buy for $485. Louie did all the driving, his brother Temple being too small to properly manipulate the foot pedal. Driving the car with one hand, while , blowing the horn with the other, this 9-year-old boy threaded his way through the traffic and be tween lanes of cheering people out of New York City and into:the openN country, with the .seeming indiffer ence and freedom from worry that a racing driver would display under the samo conditions. Louio Abernathy is a wonderful boy, but no other car, except the Brush, could he have so successfully mastered in such a short time, and successfully 'managed under such trying conditions. Any good automobile made today cary be driven from New York to Oklahoma City, but the Brush is the only automobile built which a 9-year-old boy could drive and handle for 2,500 miles. ' The trip of the Abernathy Kids attracted the atten tion of the whole country. It demonstrated beyond argument the features of the Brush which we have been emphasizing in our advertising features re sponsible for the thousands of Brush cars giving such complete satisfaction. These features are simplicity, easy riding qual ities, freedom from mechanical worries, low tire ex pense, power to travel any road and strength to stand every strain. We have been consistently telling you about' these features for years to you what an investment the Brush would be for you, both from the standpoint of pleasure and utility. But it is sometimes hard to prove, by tho. evidence of someone you don't know, probably hundreds of miles away, just how reliable the Briish is. Here is a test made out in the open, with eyes of. the whole United States watching. The Abernathy Kids are famous the world over. The feat of their driving a Brush car 2,500 miles has been. watched carefully along every mile of the road. Thousands have seen this 9-year-old boy, at the wheel. They have seen him start the motor and stop it.,- They have seen him drive up Bteep hills and over the . roughest roads. They have talked to him have had him, tell them how much fun he and his younger brother had and how easily he handled his Brush car. ! Those of you who have doubted the claims we have made for. the Brush can doubt no longer; Those of you who have been afraid that an automobile was something that only an expert could handle and that only a mechanic could understand, must look at the Brush in a new light. There is a lesson in this Abernathy "stunt" which you should take' home to yourself. Think .-.ti i. .1 a jobs to oversee at one time. It is worth money to you to be able to make the rounds quickly and economically. For this work the Brush has no equal. You may be a physician. The ease with which the Brush can Ibe started appeals to the physician, because he has to stop and start his ( car perhaps oftener than any other user, and so t on down the list merchant, manufacturer, city or country salesmen, R. F. D. carrier, farmer all - are using, the Brush and are finding it the best investment thev ever made. . The longer you delay investigating it, th longer you may be doing yourself an injustice,1 the longer you may be postponing the opportun- ' ity to increase your income and decrease yotuc expenses. ' "VYe have not "said a word about the pleasure side of . the Brush. The Abernathy Kids hava demonstrated that feature so well that we need say little about it. No car offers more as a pleasure car, except size and carrying capacity. No car offers as much, when you take into consideration the lack of ' tire trouble and the ease and eco- -nomy with which it can be operated all of which go to make automo- biling for pleasure worth while. el u.l. . .;J y No tour no endur- ance run no race ever answered so many questions im portant to the pros-1 pective motor car what it means to you to be able to buy an auto- Jjjyg this feat of a 9-year-mobile for $485, which you, or any one of your , Hvn ' ft ftrilch ninn-' bout from New York City to.

The Brush will not only make you independent, but it will cost .you less than car fare to operate. You may be using horses. The Brush has proven beyond any shadow of doubt that the horse-drawn vehicle cannot compete with it, either in cost or up keep, or in efficiency. Your income may depend on how much ground you can cover in a day, and how many people you can see in a day. If so, the Brush will pay for itself and make you money besides.
