L. Burg of Dallas City. 111., nead of on
of the oldeet carriage companies In the
United States and well known In Nebraska.
Is In the city contemplating the establish
ment of an agency In Omaha.
As a manufacturer of carriages Mr. Bura
needs no Introduction to the implement
and agricultural Interests, having been
established In business since 1S65. For a
number of years he personally travelled
this territory and Is well known. At the
present time there are over 300 firms In the
state handling the Burg line of cam.
and farm wagona.
While the Burg company did not com
mence the maufaotur of automobiles until
three years ago, success In this has been
marked. Perhaps the general reputation of
the firm for ths honesty and reliability of I
Organizing Sales Manager
Soon to Visit This City
George E. Keller, general sales
inansger of the E. M. F. faj-torles
at Detroit, has made s marvelous
record ss an organiser and execu
tive during the time he has had
. charge of thla work.
In taking over the sales organisa
tion of the B. M. F. Co., Mr. Keller's
first step was to organise thirty-two
factory branches In the various purts
of the Cnlted States. These branches
were placed In such localities as to
be within easy reach of every
K. M. F. dealer.
The branch handles all the busi
ness with a fixed territory and
makea It possible for dealers and
users of the E. M. F. cars to pro
cure faultless service, and best of
all, without delay. Mr. Keller will
soon visit the Omaha branch, as he
Is now taking a trip over the west
ern territory to get better acquainted
with conditions in the different lo
calities. It Is believed that the Omaha
branch of the E. M. F. company will
show Mr. Keller evidences of a
healthy Increase In business In the
last few months. .

its output has beon responsible In no small
measure for this, as In the faot of the
hardest competition In the atates of Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas the Burg car hua been
featured by heavy sales. The ste.ndard of
the other lines maufartured by the Burg
company has characterized the Burg auto
mobile and made friends for It among the
people who have known the company for
nearly half a century.
The Burg car Is made In four models. 30,
10 and 80 sixes, with the chassis of the "30"
being adapted for a runabout. Mr. Burg
has a "Model L" car on exibltlon at the
showrooms of the Cameron Auto Supply
and Repair company, 601 South Nineteenth
street.
The long life and unbounded success of
the firm Is a sufficient criterion of the In
tegrity and sturdy character of the output
of the Burg factories. Associated with Mr.
Burg, who controls the major portion of
ths stock In the L. Burg Carriage com
pany, are his flvs sons. One son Is In the
business office and the others are active
heads of departments of the factory.
STANDARDIZATION WINS MARK

J of Car.
H. M. Leland of the Cadillac Motor
Car company takes a unique and phil
osophical View of the phenomenal perform
ance of the Cadillac at Los Angeles, April
9, when that car made the greatest mileage
ever recorded by an American automobile
In a twenty-four-hour contest.
The Cadillac by covering 1.448 miles in
the time specified, not only beat the best
previous American record by 196 miles, but
averaged 'sixty and one-third miles per
hour for twenty-four hours; finished only
forty-three miles behind the specially built
17,000 Fiat, and left Its nearest following
competitor 229 miles In the rear.
"We would be less than human if we
did not experience a great deal of satis
faction In this achievement," Bays Mr. Le
land. "But ours Is rather the calm satis
faction of the man who sees the correct
ness of his deep-seated convictions demon
strated to others than the unique elation of
him who achieves the unexpected.
"The ordinary view la that a car which
wins an endurance contest Is the best car
for every day use. Our conviction Is pre
clsely the opposite. We firmly believe that
the manufacturer who builds the best car
he possibly can build for every day use.
necensaniy builds Into It the qualities
which make for endurance, even If It were
built, as every Cadillac Is built, without
the thought of triumphing In a twenty-
four hour contest.
"In short, the victory of the Cadillac at
Los Angeles was simply a result incidental
to the principles of standardization which
have always Inspired the Cadillac conv
pany. It made the greatest mileage Just
as It won the Dewar trophy; not because
It was especially built for these special
achievements, but because It Is more thor
oughly standardized than any other car in
the world.
