Gossip
Along the
Automobile How
The Btevens-Durjea limousines have an
added Innovation Ul year. A protoctltur
rise over the doors causes rain to trickle
to the front and rear of the root of the
car Instead of splatterlnc over the cntlro
top as on cars with flat covers. The
curve over the dpor alto Improves the
appearance ot U" machine.
There will be more winter travel In
automobiles this year. Self-starter,
closed Coupes, nonskld tires and depend
able motors will make motorlns In the
winter more enjoyable than heretofore
John N. Willy, head of several motor
car companies, Including the Overland,
tho CJarford and several other, has pur
chased outright the Edwards-Knight
company of Hartford. Ho will build the
now car at Klyria, O., where he Is npw
manufacturing the Oarford. No dealer
has been announced for "Omaha as yet.
The Cadillac has won the DoWar trophy
presented by the Itoyal Automobile club
of Great Britain. This trophy Is awarded
for tho motor car demonstrating greatest
achievement toward advuncotnent ot the
industry and George Helm Is, as a result,
the happleBt man In Omaha, because he
figures that ho hs been conducive to
thut success, and If he hadn't been the
Omaha dealer the Cadillac wouldn't have
won It.
One ot the peculiar thlnss nqted In
Omaha lately Is the largo number ot
young men who ijrtva electrics. It If gen
erally prvsuined that tho younger man
prefers the speedier gs car, but oloctrlo
ilealora In Qmaha lui.vo been soiling a
great many electro coupes lately to
jounjer men.
Everybody expected Clarke -Powell
would re-elect himself secretary and
trcasuier of the Automobile ahow. He
lived up tp expectations. But ho Is cer
tainly soma ll(tlo secretary. Ho can do
more work In the Interests of" tho show
In ten minutes, and ho can think of mora
Ideas In four seconds than ten ordinary
men could In six wecUs.
Tho board of directors elected J. T.
Stewart president of the Automobile show
becauso tliey knew ho not only had the
price of cigars, but ho had a machine out
In the street to carry them hack to their
respective places ot business. Automobile
men think a long way ahead.
Lee Huff was scared to death that he
wouldn't ho re-elected to the board of
directors of the Automobile show and he
tried to get Guy Smith to go In with him
and hire some Hums detectives to keep
an eye on the ballot box. But therq
wasn't any box to watch, bcaUse Clarko
Powell had the election all fixed.
"Kelly Truck" Murphy made his annual
niMiAch at tho mectln? ot the Automobile
show men and proffered tho use of his
epaclou's quartern behind tho Auditorium
It t would facilitate the moving of the
maQhln.es In the building. He nes-modo
tho offor several successive yearn now
and it's getting tp bo a hab.t.
E. 5f. Burbank is going to exhibit the
fanciest car In the show. Ho doi)'t care
how many presumptuous machines are
shipped hero from tho New York show,
for he is going to decorate one of l)Is
cars himself and that settles tho matter
entirely. He just knows It Is going to be
the fanciest, even If ho has to stick
Brother Wayne and ono of his flashy
suits In the back, seat.
Mrs. Lee Huff Is tho prpud pwner of
the first 19 H Bulck Laudalet coupe that
has been shipped into tho western ter
ritory by the Bulck Motor company of
Flint. Mich. This car Is a new departure
from the regular pleasure cars built by
the Buick Motpr company and Is uphol
stered and equipped like an electric car.'
(saving a Pelco) Klcctrio starter and light
ing system, which makes It a most de
sirable car fer women as well as a very
comfortable and practical car for (he
business man. Mrs. Huff's car Is uphol
stered in a green and whlto veiour wjtli
silk shades and has al the little details
lit refinement that is found only on the
highest priced cars.
ft has uot been decided yet Just what
kind of a poster the automobllo men will
design to advertise the Auto show, The
Opinion Is unanlmuus In favor of a por
trait of a sir), but the coatum? of (ho
tilri Is the bone of contention. Some of
the boys are In favor of the latest mode,
of dress, diaphanous gowns preferred,
while other are it) favor of a girl waving
banner.
With any kind ot favorable weather the
roa3 between Lincoln and Omaha next
Saturday will be black with Omaha' ma
chines carrying people to the big grid-
Iron battle on Nebraska field. Dealers
along the row report that scores of their
customers and friends have announced
their Intention of making the trip to the
game and some of them predict that more
will go to see the Iowa game than went,
to see Minnesota.
TV. L. Huffman has delivered over
twenty-five HUpmoblles since October IS.
The rapidly Increasing sales of the little
ear are Indicative of the sturdy construc
tion of the machine which takes the hills
around Omaha just as easily as some of
the big, expensive machines.
For a new car that has not been on the
market long, the Henderson, which Is
handled by the Poljock Auto company, is
making rapid strides. The car was prac
tically unknown a few short months ago
and most persons regarded it In the light
of an experiment to discover whether
kerosene would make as good an engine
fuel as gasoline. Mr. Pollock has dem
onstrated that It Is and tho car will koon
be ope ot the most familiar on Omaha
streets.
.Another car which Is bound to prove
popular this winter Is the new light
Chandler six limousine, It Is an ex
traordinarily tight car for a alx, as It
weighs but Sl pounds. It la constructed
tin an aluminum body. W. L. Huffman,
the local agent, expects some of the
'imouslnes very soon.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Huff drove to Lincoln
last Sunday and spent the day with Mr.
and Mrs- U. E. Sidles, who have just
moved into their new home at 2110 A
street. They drove to Grand Island
today in their new Laudlef coupe to at
tend a meeting of the State Automobile
assoclatlpn, which convenes en November
18 and IP.-
C. W. Brinlnger and wife of Grand
Island drove home last week In a new
19H Bulck B-ST touring car. They were
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Frltx of
Grand Island.
Lee Huff reports the delivery of sis of
the new 1914 Bulck automobiles Into tho
territory of tho Nebraska-Bulck Auto
company to date.
Murphy nlto wanted tp advertiso tho
show by putting; George Green's band
In ono of his trucks and parading tho
streets of Omaha but several other deal,
ers In trucks couldn't see the proposition
as they had a good hunch that Murphy
wjuld. decorate his truck wlt,h a bnnner
with automobllp shpw n elgh.t poh
letters and Kelly truck In ,tt point.
The Orr Motor Bales company has sold
a Packard forty-eight phaeton to W. C.
Shlnn of Lincoln. There are now sixteen
Packard owners in Lincoln which Is a
good number considering that the closest
Packard agency Is here in Omaha.
Two pew agencies have beon established
In Omaha, tho Kissel Kar and Krlt Kar.
Both machines will be handled by the
Opper-Van VJeel Automobile company at
IIS Farnam street. Mr. Opper, the
tcnlor partner In the firm, was formerly
the manager of the Maxwell agoncy here.
The Kr(t is a moderate priced car which
has proven to bo popular In the east and
fchould be Just as popular In Omaha. Tho
Kissel maintained an agency hero onco
before and established an extensive trado
and' should rise to the front again under
tho new mungement-
u.no upper-van vieet f b company
has made a good start in -tiling Krlt
cars. The last contract was closed wth
William Kurs of Bcribner. Four Krlt
oars have been sold in the last ten days
which is Indicative that the llttlo ma
chine will occupy a prominent position
ampng Omaha, automobiles without much
loss ot time.
Europeans Come to
America for Tips
8. D. Waldon, vlco president ot tliu
Packard Motor Qar company, left re
cently for Europe to study tho trend pt
design among foreign builders of car. He
In accompanied by M. J Hudlong, prrsl
dent of the Packard Brand Bales, com
panies. Shortly before 'sailing .Mr. Wal
don said:
"Europe evolved the first practical mo
tor vehicles. For years we made pit
KtlniHRett to France and other rountrtas
that we mlirlit profit by their exprlcnees.
'An r nation, Americana ure lovers of
convenience and comfort. Wo built the
first motor' vehicle of enduring and de
pendable qualities that also combined con
ventenco and comfort to tho maximum de
gree. Now Europeans In evor Increasing
numbers mako pilgrimages to our fac
tories 'to learn from us."

You Save
$1 Per Pound Per Year
n This much you save on the ,new series Lozier Ligiit
Six. It weighs 800 pounds less than the preceding
Lorier and 800 pounds less than the Lozier of former
years. The new car is 500 pounds less in weight than
its average competitor.
We figure this saving to you $1 perxmnd per yenr.
Let us explain how. Assume you drive a car that
weighs 4500 pounds most big cars weigh more than
that. 4500 pounds is 500 pounds greater than the
weight of the new Lozier. . 1
From $200 to $800 a year is saved in gasolene and
from $800 to $400 on tires. That is about $500 a year.
A car that weighs 4800 pounds costs about $800 a year
more than the Lozier. For every pound over 4000 you
pay $1 per pound per year more than if you drive
a Lozier. t
Then there is the $1000 saving in the initial invest
ment and you have a c.t that crives vou maximum
results. Sec the new Lozier. Ride in it.

Buy Nothing Else
This Winter
You men who investigate will this
winter buy nothing but All-Weather
treads.
Hera la all the advantage, all the
cconomyof tho plain-tread tire. And
hero is the last word In efficient anti
skid. It Is the greatest of Good
year Inventions,
The tread Is double-thick. The
rubber Is extra tough toughened
by a secret process. The blocks
are deep and enduring. They
last for thousands of rales.
The tread is flat. The projec
tions are broad and regular. Thus
we avoid vibration and give you ths
smooth-tread effect.
The blocks have sharp edges, facing
the skidding direction. And thosa
edges stay sharp. Their grip on wet
roads Is tenacious.
Tho blocks widen out so they meet
at the base. Thus the strains are dis
tributed just as with plain-tread tires.
It was separate projections, centering
the strain at one point In the fabric,
which made autl-sklds short-lived.
Come, see and compare them. No
man who does this will ever
buy the old-type anti-skids.
There is no comparison, in
efficiency, In economy, in all
around, long-tlmo service,
You can see this at a glance.
Yet most anti-skids cost more
than these because of smaller
output.

The Most Popular
Tires Ever Made
Al(-Wcather treads now come, If
wanted, on Goodyear No-RUn-Cuf
tires. They outaeU our smooth
treads with users. And these great
tires aro now, by long odds, the
largestTselllng tires in the "world.
No-Rlra-Cut tires first wqn top place
because they cannot rim -cut. They
have saved motor car owners many
millions of dollars by this one great
economy.
They aro also the only tires which
are final-cured on air bags, under actual
road conditions. This is done at an
extra cost of $1 ,500 daily. It Is done to
save the countless blow-outs due tp
wrinkled fabric.
They are the only tires n whjeh.
hundreds of large rubber rivets are
created to prevent tread separation.
Rim-cutting Is made impossible,
.Blow-outs and loose treads are
'minimised In ways that no rival
employs. Because of this fact, no
other tire compares in sales with
uooaycars.
Now comes this All-Weather tread.
A tread which safety demands on all
wheels at all seasons. An anti-skid
tread which has no competl.
tion with men who know the
facts.
So there are now four econ
omiesfour enormous advan
tagesto win you to No-Rim-Cut
tires. You will join the
legions who buy these tires
when you once find them out.
