The Btudebaker have nearly com
pleted their new branch house at Twenty
fifth avenue and Fnrnam street and
will soon move from their crowded Quar
tern at Twenty.flret and ITarnam streets.
The branch hotio wlH be for whole
sale trade exclusively and no retail deals
will be made. E. It. Wllon Is the local
tetall distributer of the StudebAlter,
Alt of the dealers alone the' row are
cleaning out the remnants of their 1913
Mocks. Very few dealers wero burdened
with overstock because the past year
has been, a profitable one. Nearly all
firms had a few 1913 models and they
all desire to have them cleared from
their floors to make room for rsadels,
The Stewart-TooMr company Is prepar
ing to operi an extensive campaign with
Chalmers cars. The Chalmers company
it one of the five largest In this country
and its output Is enormous. As a result,
tht local agency does not experience dif
ficulties In malting deliveries. Xt Intends
that as many Chalmers cars shall be
seen on the streets of Omaha as In the
big tastern cities of as large or larger
population.

Interstate Automobile company, 1b doing

Is one of the two branch houses of the
Interstate company by reason of limited
output and the company has been con
vinced that Omaha Is a desirable city
for a branch house.
The Pennsylvania. Itubber company Is
another concern that maintains few
branch offices. It has one In Omtfia.

With the advent of the fall rains and
winter snows, which will make slippery
pavements and bring about much skid
ding, the Pennsylvania, 'people look for
more orders than they, can handle. The
vacuum cup tire is absolutely non-skid.

purchaser. Either right or left hand
drivon oars may be secured In the Lo

fices along the row open at all hours of
the night. Every supply house is open,
the majority of tho tire concerns and a
goodly number of the sales' houses burn
the midnight o' with Increasing regular
ity. The T. H. Pollock Auto company, a
new concern for auto row, which will
handle the Henderson cars In this terri
tory, has already sold a Henderson to
O. A. Schroeder of Columbus. Sir.
Schroeder came to Omaha Friday and
drove the car home with him.

made overland trips to various summer
resorts In Colorado, Wyomlnr, California
and other western states aro returning
now and a great many of those cars
have stopped In Omaha for repairs or
overhauling. The garages all along the
row have been crowded all weak with
the cars of transients. Some parties
have been detained In Omaha for a
week because the repair departments
have had so much work to be done -sn
machines brought In.
An Increased activity has been mani
fest at the Drummond Motor company
since J. W. Griffith, W. L. Griffith and
F. W. Bacon secured the establishment
The concern is doing all the repair and
overhauling business that the Drum
monds worked up and has been doing
considerably more In the way of selling
cars. The new Interests Intend to push
the G. M. C. truck thoy are agents for
and as Omaha Is. a fruitful field- for
trucks they should do a big business.
The left-hand-drive cor is coming Into
its own and Is asserted to be the lotg&al
drive. European cars are right-hand-drive,
t but In Europe- the traffic moves
to the left, instead of the right. Some
dealers es the row prefer rtgnt-kani-
drive because the driver Is adjacent to
the ditch on country roads. Other deal
ers prefer left-hand-drive because they
are next to the passing car and the
seat Is handy at the curb. Among the
left handed drive cars that are sold
along the row tire: Lozler, Mitchell,
Maxwell, Packard, National, Hudson,
Paige, Reo and Interstate.
The ,Ford company is still delivering
cars as fast as ever. More Fords are sold
Si Omaha than any other cars. The out
put of the company is almost unlimited.
Every day the Ford people accept with
tranquillity orders which would drive the
agent of a hlgh-prlcod car Insane. It is
a common occurrence for a man to walk
Into the Fqrd garage, lay down his money
and drive the car away before the sales
man even learns his name.
Wayne Burbank, although a youngster
at tho game, has already acquired the.
reputation or Being the most gentlemanly
salesman on the row. Ills brother, who
is his boss, however, says that belnr
gentlemanly don't get anybody anywhere,'
when It comes to selling machines and
while Wayne is dressed In tho top of
fashion E. M, runs around In his shirt
sleeves and a few grease spots on. his
trousers, which last he says convey an
Impression of familiarity with machinery.
C, L. Kohn of the Western Auto Supply
company has of late been In a vindictive
mood, Some few weeks' ago a traveling
solicitor borrowed "ten" -from Kphn and
has not been seen in Omaha since.- Kohn
then spent another perfectly good "ten"
to have two nice little edgns painted to
hang In his office. They reajt: "Don't
try to borrow monty; we are not run
ning a loan office." Kohn has been work
ing nights trying to make enough money
to cover the lost coin with Interest.
The Locomobile company s.Yert any
difficulties concerning left or right-hand-
George Toorer Is such a busy auto
mobile salesman that he doesn't take
time to eat. To see him running around
auto row you would think he was train
ing for a race or racing for a train.
Another conclusive proof that Firestone
tires are able to withstand the trials of a
grilling speed contest was demonstrated
by Earl Cooper, who drove a Btutz car
equipped with Firestone tires to victory In
the ISO-mile race September 9 at Corona.
The Stutz car maintained a speed of
seventy-four and one-half , miles an hour,
which Is a fast enough pace to wear out
tfres like a grindstone wears out leather.
The course at Corona has innumerable
sharp curves and corners to be traversed
and Cooper never failed to take any one
of them with his accelerator wide open,
so great was his confidence in the Fire
stone tires. This victory is another in the
ohain of Firestone victories. In nearly
every big race this year the winning car
has been equipped with Firestone tires.
This la a great and enviable record and
the Firestone people are Justly proud of
the tires they put out. All Firestone tires
used on racing machines are stock tires
and not made to order.
The Stewart-Toozer Motor company has
Must received the new Chalmers "Six"
five-passenger car. This car has a stream
line body, roomy seats and Is equipped
with the Enz electrlo starter made In the
Chalmers' shops. This starter is easy to
operate and there are no pedals or but
tons to push. The car Is silent on all
speeds and Is one' of beauty and refine
ment as well as one of durability and
satisfaction.
One of the busiest places along "auto
mobile row" Is the Stewart-Toozer Motor
company, due to the fact that they have
just received their new 1914 Chalmers
"Six" demonstrator. Mr. Toozer has
been busy demonstrating this car to
many prospects who pronounce It the
best car of any they have seen for the
money.
The Stewart-Toozer Motor company has
sold to E. S. Van Gorder of Audubon, la.,
a Pierce Arrow "48-B2" car. They have
also delivered Chalmers cars to John
Tulley of Crete. Neb.; J. H. Peterson of
Arlington, Neb.; George Condon and Dr.
E. C. Henry of Omaha.
Luther Larson, who handles the Chal
mers cars at Fremont, representing the
Stewart-Toozer Motor company, made
four trips to Omaha during the last week
each time driving home a new Chalmers
car. John Branlgan of Columbus, who
also represents the Stewart-Toozer Motor
company In that vicinity, drove home
two Chalmers cars during the last week.
A. J. Freed, he who has been covering
Montana, and Wyoming for Powell Sup
ply company, comes into Omaha today.
He will stay over for the Ak-Sar-Ben
activities.
The Safford combined lamp and lllu
mlnuated registration number Is the new

On No-Rim-Cut Tires
Another Exclusive Feature
Hmtm i ualk vital
This iakric called
"rivet" ibcfcis pat
ented. W bought the
ritfat for $50,00.
In vty well-made
tire, at the base of the
tread, rtras a breaker
atrip. It is usually a
solid weave.
It ta near this strip, where rubber joins
witk fabric, that loosened treads occur. It
has cost tire users millions of dollars.
The "rivet" fabric is our breaker strip.
Note the openings in it. We force the tread
rubber down through these openings, so
hundreds of large rubber rivets -are formed to
prevent tread separation. Then the whole
tire is vulcanized en masse. This is one of
the biggest of Goodyear economies, and uo
other maker can use it.
Saving Blow -Outs
At a Cost of $1,500 Daily
Here another ex
clusive feature.
No-Rim-Cut tires get
the "On-Air Cure."
That is they are final
cured on air bags shaped
like inner tubes. They
are cured, as you use
them, on elastic air.
Other tires are cured
on iron cores alone. The
fearful compression
often buckles the fabric
And there, where some
of the fabricbears no part
of the strata, thousands
of blow-outs occur.
Oar "On Air Cure"
Our Patent Rivet Fabric
corrects this buckling.
The rubber and fabric
adjust themselves to
actual road conditions.
Every part of the-fabric
bears its part of the
strain.

No Rim-Cutting
In addition we save you, in No Rim-Cut
tires, all the ruin of rim-cutting.
With clincher tires the hooked-base tireg
rim-cutting ruins almost one' tire in three.
This is proved by statistics gathered for us by
certified public accountants. No-Rim-Cut tires
arc guaranteed against this costly damage.
We control the only known way to make v
a satisfactory tire of this type.
Three Savings
No-Rim-Cut Tire
With or Without Anti-Skid Tread
So we save you on rim-cutting
Save you on blow
outs Save you on tread
separation.
Yet no standard tire
of any type costs less
than No-Rim-Cut tires.
That is due to our mam
moth output. No-Rim-Cut
tires, when we made
less of them, cost one
fifth more than clinch
ers. Note what you g6t
which others can't five.
You will then see why
Goody ears far outsell
any other tire that's
made.

New 1914 Car
At ThirTime Next Year, Most Leading Makers Will Offer You These Rema
able Motor Car Engineering Advancements. Their Engineers Are Work,
on Them Today Some of the More Progressive Will Have These New Idi
for 1914. So Don't Purchase a 1913 Car, for It Is Now Out of Sty
Don't purchase any automobile without
wire wheels. They are the new vogue.. They increase-tire
mileage 35 cut tire expense down
one-third, often half. Besides, wire wheels stand
3 times the shook that breaks wood wheels.
They doublo easy-riding comfort of an automo
bile. These are engineering statistics.
Tho old stylo gasoline tank was under the
sent oiat tho rear of tho car. This is out of
date. Only tho backward makers have not adopt
ed tho advanced idea of the cowl gasoline tank.
This is because of unsold cars of the old style.
But the leaders will liavo it next winter.
Kerosene the New Fuel
For two years en
gineers have b o ern
searching for a practical
new fuel. Gasoline ah
20 and 25 cents a gallon V
is by some considered
too expensive. Ray Harroun, the famous racing
driver, strnok tho idea in a carburotor that
would vaporize kerosene, coal oil or gasoline.
And kerosone costs only 7 or 8 cents a gallon.
This new invention revolutionizes motoring cost,
cuts it down to insignificance. No, one need '
fear expense today.
All Adopt Left Drive
New Center Control
Practically all next year's cars have left
mef.rV J2Tamm'
drive. Another now idea, is the center seat co.
trol at the driver's right. All the things men
tioned abovo can be had on tho New Henderso i
and you can get immediate deliveries of thL
car. You need not wait a year as you .would
havo to do, wero you to ask for these features
in another make of car.
Electrically Self-Cranking
Electrically Lighted .
You merely press a pedal with your foot to
start the motor. The electric self-cranking sys
tem spins tho motor 90
times in a minute. '
The car is electric
lighted of course.
All these things you
can get a year hence on
other leading cars. For
tliey aro the vogue of 1914.
But if you wish them now and you prob
ably will not buy a 1913 car if you read clear
through this announcement you can have them
to use this summer and fall, on the New 1914
Henderson De Luxe.
As quickly as the news spreads, wo fear our
allotment will be too quickly snapped up by
buyers. So if you.wish this car of amazing now
features, this kerosene-burning car, you had best
come see it at once today. It is now on exhibit.
