' Two carlo da of UupmobUo thirty-two horsepower touring cars were received last Thursday by tbs W. U Huffman Automobile company. There were twelve machines in th two carloads and before night every car was delivered and still there was a waiting list. Charles Rapp of St. Edward. Ken.. bought a Chalmers "38" car last Thursday from th H. E. Frodrickson Automobile oompany. Mr. Rapp la the man who had formerly owned th cbampioa Whltefaea heifer of the world which he sold for 110,- K. B. Waldrom drove a Chalmers road ster In from Waterloo, la., last Thursday. Ho says th aroads are in vary bad ah ape aad that ha was up to the axle a mud In several places along the road. The H. E.

R. D. King placed his order for a Lex ington six roadster lsst week with th B. It Wilson Automobile company. The ear la to be fully equipped with a self starter. ... On ot Hi best Indications that the automsbil ssaaoa haa finally opened up Is the announcement, just made, by the Powell Supply company that from now en th stor would be open Sundays and evenings. The streets are again alive with machines abd th motorists are find ing that there are many Items they have to, bar attar the winter lay-up. Omaha was again brought Into prom inence as a distributing point lsst week when th Powell 8upply company se eurod this territory for Klaxon horns. Th volnme ot business Involved can be sati mated from the fact that these horns ran from N to Ut each, and art stocked Bumper crops and oumper business is , th sentiment ot th automobile dealers : la this section, according to reports re- j reived by Powell Supply company from i its traveling salesmen. The automobile ' men were sever ao optimistic and even i the most conservative look for a tre- j msndoua output ot machines and supplies. In discussing the remarkable quietness j ot the Hudson "ST" motor, Ouy U Smith ' said: "Most manufacturers of motor cars ar taking great pains to eliminate noise from their machines, but the Hudson Motor Car company of Detroit seems to have gone a step further In this direction than any one else. The factory is pro vided wtlh a spsdally constructed sound proof room. In which cars are tested fur abnormal noises, th mechanism being driven by an engine located outside th room and power transmitted through an opening in the wall. The result Is that the man detailed as. noise detective is not troubled by outside sounds, and bis trained ear is enabled more readily to meat unnnecessary rattles and wheeses." aianager Huff of the Nebraska Bulck company reports carload shipments lo th following agents in their territory: Beabury Bros., Logan, la.; Hlghley A Halterman, Edgemont, 8.

Lee Huff In talking about the automo bile business states that there Is going to be a shortage in automobiles aa soon aa tha roads cpen up through the country, as h can tell from the present indica tions of how the city people are taking to the Butck line that their ability to deliver cars will be overtaxed aa soon as th roads are in condition to reach the towns out through the forming districts. The Nebraska Bulck Automobile com. pany signed up with Joseph F. Kovarik of Schuyler, Neb., this week, to handle tha Bulck car la the south half ot Col fax county.
