, Apperson "Jackrabbit"
703 are delighted with the Show of 1913 'and believe thero
VV has never been a better one for business. The Apperson
car has had substantial sales this week and we are more than
satisfied. Wo wore prepared for a largo trade, but did not
expect such a big business as came our way. This Show has
proven its worth in a hundred ways. It has proven the Ap
person 'Jackrabbit 's" worth to thousands of people.

. Hupmobile "32"Pathfinder
AT the 1912 Show we offered tho Hupmobile long stroke "32"
for the approval of tho public and that approval has beon
won. Tliis year, after searching the country over to find a
car that wo might offer and" safely guarantee to those wanting
a larger car at a popular price, we decided upon tho Pathfinder.
Tho merit of this remarkable car will, within the year, make tho
Pathfinder as popular in its class as the Hupmobile has become
in its field.
W. L. HUFFMAN, AUTOMOBILE CO.
Chalmers Pierce-Arrow
THE keen interest shown in these two linos at all times was
clearly evidenced by the large number of motor car outhu
x siasts who spent much time at our exhibit. All who remained
long enough, and most people did, were shown tho accuracy
and precision with which each part going into the Chalmers
car is fitted. They were shown our method of balancing, by
'nioans.of dolicatq sealos, the paxtB.tlmt go in pairs; and how the
'. vital parts of the engine aro measured down to one five-thousandth
of nn Inch before thoy are pronounced perfect, all. of which went na
j ; evidence of thd reason for tho long life and low up-koop cost on every
Chalraors car. That the public believes In this lino waslihown by the very,
satisfactory business wo did during the post wook.

Inter-state
THE sturdy, honestly constructed Inter-State, for many
years made in Mu'ncie, Indiana, had one feature at least
, that was possessed by no other car at tho Show. Of thjs wo
ar'o particularly proud. It was a confirmation of our 1912
...qur's electrical starting and lighting system. As shown in tho
1913 model, it is identically the same as was used in 1912. It
was perfect then and is perfect now. Not a change has been
UHtdc. Tho thousands of expressions of approval of our Inter
state "Six" wore most gratifying and tho ordors received be
yond our anticipation.

Buick
THE thousands, who viewed and inspected this line wont
away feeling .that iiq better cars aro made. Tho contracts
closed with doalors and the number of individual sales record
ed by tho Buick assures its popularity for 1913. The success
of the Show was phenomonal and its results far reaching.

Reo Fifth--Little
THE result of a factory specializing exclusively upon one
chassis and motor construction was shown last week by
tho unequalled value offered in the Reo Fifth. Our other lino,
iho Little "Four" and "Six" received a welcomo uevor equal-,
led by that accorded any other car. To actually receivo a num.
, uor of orders for a ,car without giving. a demonstration was tho
y thing accomplished by the Littlo "Six," while tho orders re
ceived tor the Little "Four" and Reo "Fifth" surpassed more
than-four times the volume of business wo had figured on.
The fact that we can still guarantee spring deliveries on early orders placed
for tbeee cars Is welcome news to scores of buyers. From our standpoint
the 1913 Show was the most satisfactory affair we have associated with.
DOTY & HATHAWAY. L. E. Dot v.
The Cadillac Gar
qpO find the busiest booth at the Automobile Show, look for
JL tho Cadillac." That was our saying before the Show and
during the week it was boruo out. Of an educational character
our exhibit taught many the principles of motor car construc
tion and operation. In addition, we emphasized the service
feature that goes with every now Cadillac and lasts its lifetime.
Its numberless owners in Omaha and. surrounding territory
are our references. "Wo 4f eel- that wo proved conclusively the
-absolute ' superiority, of .the Cadillac car over any other car sell-
mg at near its-price. Uur business was good, tno orders came
freely and we are pleased.

torlum was closed last night after a short
Reason of many sales and pronounced
success In every particular, from the
thousands of visitors to the hundreds of
sales negotiated by the energetic dealers.
It was a carnival night and the spielers
caught the carnival spirit of the crowd
and told In romantlo Btralns tho end of
the story of good automobiles, speedy,
graceful, high-powered, efficient, Inex
pensive machines.
While the talks at the auto show ended
the discussion will be kept up, for dealers
declared at the closo of the exhibition
Chat never before had so many people
dlnplayed so great an Interest In the au
tomobile and that never before had so
many sales been consummated.
"This show has certainly been worth
the trouble and expense."
''Been great."
"Lota of sales."
"People all seem prosperous."
"Everybody talking automobiles."
"Sales will bo far greater than ever
before."
"Pleas"
"Fine."
In this manner did the exhibitors sum
up tho outcome to them of the biff show.
Visitor Knthustnntlc.
' Visitors wcro Just as enthusiastic. They
said thoy were sorry to see It close. Rome
f trm said thev learned moro about tho
parlous makes of cars than thoy would
ivr have learned, even had they pur
chased a car from each of the numerous
factories.
"Also, It has been a pleasant place to
visit, even If we didn't have the price of
an automobile, although I happened to
have, had," said one visitor. "Music,
color, good cheer, optimism that seemed
to be the characteristics of tho dealers,
as 'well as of the crowds, I've seen here."
"There has been no misrepresentation,
either." put In his friend. "Now. there's
the fellow sold you that car. He believed
It was a fine machine, and told all the
good Qualities, but he frankly admitted
It wasn't as good In some particulars as
his competitors. Now that's a new phase
of the situation. Probably that's the
reason you bought It, eh?"
Everybody felt perfectly satisfied with
the result of the show and prophecies of
n. wVWnrpn1 pnldemlc of automobllltls
seemed not amiss when the enthusiastic
talk of sellers- and buyers was considered.
"The best Indication that tho auto
mobile dealers of Omaha and the middle
west are going to have the biggest busi
ness In their history Is found In this and
In the Kansas City show that ended a
week ago," said C. J. Corkhlll, district

"My observation," Mr. Corkhlll said,
"Is based on an analysis which I make
verV vcar at the Autbmoblle show.
This year the different automobile deal
ers had unusually good displays. They
put ginger In tho makeup of their or
rmilznttnn and thosa who will do tho
business are the ones who have con-.
fldcnco In their line. For the publlo to
day, the motor buying public, know
automobile values. Many of them know
more about motor car values than deal
ers themselves. This Is a paramount
fact In motor car purchasing."
JUDGE BAKER REPLIES TO
CORPORATION ARGUMENT
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
wasiiinoton. Mar. 1. (Special Tele
gram,) Den S Baker, corporation coun
ni tnr flin cltv of Omaha, today pleaded
tho city sldo In the case of tho Old Trust
onmnanv and tho Omaha ElcctrIa.L.lght
and Power compony against the city of
Onmlm In the suoremo court.
Tho two Important points In the case
Mr Tinker stated were whether the
franchise granted to tho company by the
city was to bo held, n perpetual one, an3
mmmi. whether In either event It allowed
ih distribution of electric current for
heat and power as well as for lighting.
Thern was no doubt. Mr. UuKer deciarea
itint the members of tho city council
which passed the ordinance granting th
franchise, did not Intend to gram a
iiBrnotunl franchise. Such' could not have
been their Intention as In his opinion it
was bartering away the ngnts or me cuy
ami itH npnnln without Proper com-
pensatlon on tho part of tho company
securing tho rights conveyed.
Mr. Maker denied also that the electric
lltrht eomriany's franchise allowed the
trnmitnn nf heat and power and that
such a contention was greatly outside tho
proper construction of that franchise.
Edgar H. Scott, who made a short clos

pany, followed much the same line of

Mighty Michigan ,
TS first introduction to theX)nmlm public at an Automobile
Show came last week. Its advanced design, high grade con
struction and beautiful finish, at the price we ask, made it the
real sensation of the Automobile Show of 1913. Now that it
has made its formal bow to tho public, whoso expressions of
satisfr.ction convince us that it has met with universal approval,
we predict that it will be the popular car that is found on every
highwav of Nebraska.

Cole Automobiles
COLE cars were accorded a most generous reception at the
Automobile Show of 1913. This being their first appear
ance at automobile shows in Omaha. Local and country busi
ness was exceptionally large -and our exhibit a success from
.every standpoint. The thousands of out-of-town visitors went
away expressing themselves as amply repaid for making the
visit.

Studebaker Cars
WE agree with everybody else that the 1913 Show has sur
passed any other for sales aud attendance. Omaha has
never witnessed such a wonderful exhibit. Presenting a new
line of cars in the Studebaker "35" and Studebaker "25," we
believe we showed a line of unequalled merit. Orders for cars and
expressions of approval from the public verify this belief. It
has been a great show in every respect and we are delighted
with the business we have done.

Peerless-Franklin-Hudson
T7TTE are proud of tho three lines we exhibited' at the Show.
VV Proud because each was a leader in its class and proud
Ijcjcause yisitors invariably realized their merit and supremacy.
To comment upon tho Show is unnecessary everyone knows
that is was by far. the greatest Automobile Show ever held in
the West.
GUY L. SMITH.
Rambler
OUR sales, for immediate delivery, of 1913 Ramblers were,
without exaggeration, three times as great as what we
thought might be safe to estimate. We are therefore highly
elated over the outcome of this 1913 Show. Our educational
exhibit through which one of the most able automobile, ex
pects in the country gave the people a comprehensive story of
the manufacture and operating principles of a motor car, did
much to help tho individual buyer to select his car intelligently,
no matter what make he may have decided upon. Of all the
Shows at which Tho Rjunbler Motor Co. has exhibited, the
Omaha Show of 1913 is unmatched for the generous volume of
business received. RAMBLER MOTOR CO.

Regal-Detroiter
THESE two cars fared more than well at this 1913 Show.
The uhderslung construction of the RegaJ, the efficiency
of which was vividly demonstrated by its position in our booth
where it was tilted to a degree of fifty degrees, still remaining
safe from turning over even with four passengers added was
tho'wonder of Hundreds. The Detroiter, with its unmatchable
specifications and beauty of finish, was royally appreciated by
both local and out-of-town visitors to the Show as proven by
the business transacted last weok.

The- Overland Car
THE Overland has proven a more acceptable machine to tho.
people than ever before if that is possible. ,Our model
G9T has shown its great popularity by tho immense crowd
always about it, and the many direct sales it has won.
Especially tho dealers have realized its merit and closed
largo contracts for early delivery.
This year will be the biggest, so far as Overlands are con
corned, aud the show was truly a winner.
