"It certainly ha been a fine show," re
marked II. II. Van Brunt. "We have sold
many machines and It Is easy to see that
1911 will be a banner year for automobiles
In all parts of the country. Our company

here and then sell the cars to the Nehrms-
kans and Iowana who cam to tha show.
Their scheme has met with great success.
II. K. Sidles and Lee Huff are enthusiastic
over the manner In which their cars have

show that the Bulck la one of the biggest
sellers In the west. -
C. H. Tully of Alliance, Neb., bought one

he thought the car a dandy.
"If ail agents sold cars as fsst as IS. R.
Wilson does." said a man connected wl'.h
the show, "everybody In this section of
the country would be supplied before long.
That young fellow has had a remarkable
run on that sterling Lexington. It la a
good car and merits large sales."
Progressive Wilson agrees that the Lex
ington Is a leading car and he Is ready to
book It against any field. The people belle.-
in the Lexington, too. according to
Mr. Wilson, for his sales this week have
been enormous. Wilson Swaney, agent for
the Lexington at Carroll, la., came to
Omaha Wednesday and left Thursday.
While he was here, he sold with the assist
ance of Mr. Wilson, five cars. Mr. Wilson
has appointed several sgents during the
week. The .O'Grady Auto company of
Schaler. la., and Wunderllch 4 Haverllck
of Lincoln being among tha many who
have taken on tha Lexington.
Nine car loads of Bulcks have been sold
so far thla week by the Nebraska-Buick
company to Nebraska . dealers. Tha Ne
braska Butck have sold no Individual car
because they have not been able to get
any for sale. The orders for the nine car
load were taken and will be filled by the
dealers as soon as they can be made at
the factory In Flint. Mich. The Nebraska
and Iowa dealers of the Butck company
who have been in attendance at the show.
"It is the best show that I have ever
seen outside of Chicago," explained C. E.
GUtner. manager of the Rambler Molnr
company in Omaha. "Until a few months
ago l was in the east and saw only the
big shows held in tho large cities In that
section of the country- I did not expect
to witness such a wonderful show In
Omnha as I .have seen this week. It Is
without doubt one of tha greatest that
h:xs been held west of the Mississippi at
any time. The Rambler baa enjoyed a
bis; sale this year In Omaha. Thla week
we have done more business than every
before. I should say the sales have been
ten- times as great. I do not believe that
there (ever was a show when so many
dealers did such a large business. The
fine weather and the fine lot of cars cer
tainly have been enough to draw the
people here and to get them to Invest their
money In reliable cars. I look for the
Rambler to have by far the best sales of
their history this year."
Jack Sharp, Omaha agent for the speedy
and solid Alco car, was a busy man yester
day, for his booth was surrounded by a
large crowd all day. He was so busy II at
It was hard for his friends to get a minute
or two's conversation with him. The Alco
car is a hummer and the people who were
at the show seemed to realise this fact.
"The biggest sales ever," said the genial
Sharp. "I could not wish for any better."
R. K. Hltchens, factory representative of
the Alco company, was on the Job along
with Jack Sharp. "This is a great place
this Omaha," said Mr. Hltchens. "I am
from the east, but you can take my word
for It that Omaha Is some great city. I
did not expect to see such a show as you
are having here. The people here are live
ones. They know good cars when they
see thim. AU the dealera have dona good
business this week, and I have no doubt
that the total sales will ba tea times
greater than they were last year. The
Alco Is having the biggest aales of its
history. This Omaha la a great town and
we are showing the people a great ear."
Michael O'Connor, secretary of the
Powell Supply company. Is ona of the be
Bevera In the effecacy of ths automobile
show as a business getter for the dealers
snd Omaha. He la convinced that the
111 exhibit la the best ever held here. Ths
business done by the Powell company dur
ing the week has exceeded even that which
was expected. "GIv. me the auto show
every time for doing good for the whole
stats," said Mr. O'Connor. "The people
learn at the Omaha show that tbe very
best cara are sold la this city and when
they learn this they buy machines. The
sales of cars and supplies have been
enormous this week."

Hunters from ths north, from San An
tonio and many other points hav camped
out for weeks, year after year, but though
many glimpses were obtained, nvr had a
spot stained th whit of the fleet-footed
phantom.
Eight years ago a fence rider a the
ranch saw what he supposed was a white
goat and attempted t rope It When
he cam up closer he found that th ani
mal was a rpllk-whlte deer, and too fleet
for pursuit by an ordinary cow pony. The
chapparal and thick mesqulte growth aided
tha deer in Its successful evasion of hunt
ers and trappers. Monday, when It was
killed, running at a rang of mors than
800 yards, for th first tiro it appeared
to be careless. One shot did th work.
Albert Freidrich. whose Buckhorn saloon
is known all over th country because of
its collection of steer horns, deer head,
antlers and other trophies of th hunt, pur

times, It was always so far away and
running so rapidly that It was useless to

unusual horn formation, thre spikes on
one side and twelve on the other.
Th Mexicans believe that the "mad
stone" Is obtained from the stomach of
milk-white animals. They wer certain the
phantom deer carried it, but when Mr.
Patterson removed th viscera, looked in
both apartments of th double stomach,
peculiar to all deer, he failed to find the
"madstone." Some hold, however, th stone
is not contained in tha stomach, but is
found in th connecting part of th stom

BEAUTY
A motor cat of exceptional bemity In design;
grscpful outline-, elegant, luxurious, gatislfyln-r
Ideal.
. ECONOMY
Kin of carg In the matter of economy. The.
lightness made possible by the use of aluminum,
nickel gteel and ash timber, coupled with air
cooling, reduces fuel, oil, tire, and upkeep ex
, penee to a minimum. This Is why the Franklin
won the "600 punch bowl, two gallon efficiency
contest" aKalnat sixty-five competitors, making
eighty-seven miles.
LIGHTNESS
Largely because air cooled, eliminating heavy
radiators, pumps, pipes, tank, water Jackets,
strut and reach roda used on all water-cooled
cars.
Weight makes tire expense. On the average car
tire expense Is more than all other expenses
combined. Franklin cars are also equipped with
extra large tires, so It Is Impossible to overload
them. Tires are serviceable until worn out.
man power v
Pre-eminent In the matter of high power, coupled
with light weight, the result of which means net
ability. Because of thla fact the Franklin Is the
prince of cara In the mud and on the hills. It
travels fast over rough roads with perfect com
fort to the passengers.
N ELASTICITY
Resilient and flexible, adjusting itself to all un
even road conditions with remarkable ease and
readiness through the use of laminated wool
sills. These are 30 per cent lighter than steel
and as much stronger. Large elliptic springs all
around. This, combined with light weight,
makes the Franklin the most perfect riding car
made. Fatigue 'from riding Is unknown In the
Franklin. Speed .In any car Is more a matter of
comfort than power.
DURABILITY
The Franklin Is built on honor along lines of
correct mechanical principles. It Is constructed
of the highest grade material obtainable. In the
selection of which quality, not cost, is the first
consideration.
AIR-COOLING
Franklin air-cooling has been a success for nlno
years. It Is simple and efficient. Nothing to get
out of order, it Is certain In operation and
cools perfectly. The engine cylinders have ver
tical cooling flanges and are set In an alr-tlght
compartment. At the rear sets th fly wheel
with a fan attachment which draws cool air
through these flanges. The air passing one
cylinder does not pass another. It cannot over
heat, leak, freeze, or get out of order.
RELIABILITY
Dependable and reliable at all times under the
toughest conditions. Capable of the highest rate
of speed over the roughest roads with comfort
and safety. Proof: Trip from Kan Francisco
to New York In 15 days, 2 hours and II min
utes; Chicago to New York, 39 hours and 63
minutes, and the continued winning of perfect
'scores In most severe contests.
ACCESSIBILITY
Practically all working parti are easily reached
from above. The annoying minor troubles so
perplexing and disagreeable In the average motor
car are largely eliminated in the Franklin.
While these parts are easily accessible, they are
also neat and clean in every detail, since th
whole mechanical system, although thoroughly
lubricated, is thoroughly protected from mud
and dust.
PRE-EMINENCE
National In Its reputation and occupies the fore
most position among high-grade cars. This
popularity has been won on merit. It Is the only
car which can be driven In the frozen regions of
the North, or in the tropics of the South with an
equal degree of satisfaction. In very truth the
Franklin Is "The Automobile of the Future."
