Ono of the Now 1915 Maxwells
In accordance with lu general policy of
intensive market cultivation tha 8tuJ
bsker Corporation has tab11he1 a. spe
cial division ot Us sales department to
p'romuta tha fala of light delivery cara.
This division haa been placed In chart
of Charles Van Horn, a veteran, whose
national prominence dates back to the old
bicycle days when ha was sales manaRcr
for one of tha largest western manufact
urers. ;
Mr. Van Horna left the assistant sales
managership of another Detroit automo
bile company to assume his present posi
tion. II j Is thoroughly Impressed with the
wide possibilities which exist for the
lght delivery car.
"To a certain extent, Studebaker haa al
ways bean represented In the delivery car
field," asserts Mr. Van Horna, "our
'twenty' type of commercial car aa been
liberally In evidence for three years. In til
American cities. Hundreds ot our electrically-started
and lighted Tour' delivery
cars have been marketed durln? the last
season. The production waa relatively
small, but great enough to ensure wide
distribution and use in all aorta of condi
tions. Good Outlook for Light Tract.
"This year's experience haa convinced
us beyond a doubt that the demand fur a
commercial car of about l,500-pouul ca
pacity, with full electrical equipment, big
tires, Ttmken bearings and a full floating
rear axle constitutes a market, the ftultl
vation of which has been but barely' be
gun. "We will build a greatly Increased num.
ber of these cars for 1916. They will be,
like the cara of last year, mounted on a
chassis especially designed for commercial
work. A side from minor Improvements In
design and more attractive body colors,
they will differ but slightly from the cara
of last year, regarding which we have
never had a complaint.
"We will aupport them with an advertis
ing campaign which wilt conclusively
demonstrate their superiority over horse
drawn equipment. We will provide our
dealers with an abundance et facts to
push this proof home. We know that the
time is ripe for such a campaign and con
. fidently predict that, before another year
has passed, thousands of merchants will
be realising from experience the ad van
taxes of these cars as business getters
and money savers."

New Packard is on
Its Way to Omaha
The Orr Motor Sales company hat been
advised of the shipment of their new t-3S
Packard salon touring car from the Pack.
ard factory last Friday. This Is particu
larly significant Inasmuch as the supply
of Packard thirty-eights waa exhausted
last April and customers all over ths
country have been unable to obtain the
smaller Packard model for period of
four months.
The new 3-38 and MS Packard ears are
in reality only a new series of previous
models with such improvements of details
and refinements as would naturally oeour
in this advanced stage of Packard de
velopment. ' '

"Bountiful crops and a sound, stable

caused by the breaking out of the war
in Europe," says C, F, Jamison, sales
manager of tho Saxon Motor company,
"and this country has settled down to en
joy the biggest year In Its history.
"There Is going to be a great business
done In this country this fall, The United
Ststea is the most favored nation In the

"The country Is blessed with the

Huffman to Sell the
Paige Cars in This
Section of Country
In a trip through the west and south
west Sales Manager II. Krohn of tne
Paige-Detroit Motor Car company has
accomplished some results highly grati
fying to the company. In this swing
through the bumper-crop country Mr.
Krohn signed Paige dealer contracts with
at least six of the largeut distributors In
the country, whose business alone would
keep a fair slsed plant busy.
Among those who have recently Joined
with Soles Manager Krohn to spread the
fnmo of the Paige In the west and south
west are the W. I Huffman Automo
bile company, with salesrooms at Mit
chell, Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Lincoln,
and Omaha: the Munger Automobile com
pany of Dallas, Tex., and the Oreenlease
Motor Car company of Kansas City.
I knew that the new Paige line for
1915 had created quite 'some excitement
out that way," said Mr. Krohn, ' but
wasn't quite prepared for the reception I
really got I didn't have to talk Paige,
1815, line at all with the big distributors
we signed up. They knew all about it
and they wanted to talk Paige, 1915, line
to me. As, for the other dosen smaller
dealers we signed up well, Jt was Just a
matter of weeding out the applicants.
"I saw those crops we have heard about
grain elevators full and not enough
storage room In sight for the rest ct the
crops. If we oan Just fin . a way to get
those crops to their market particularly
Europe this oountry Is going to make
more money In one year than we can
spend In a . century. As It is, I believe
that the automobile Industry is going to
have a good year and the Paige will
break all Paige records which also la
'going some. "
GOVERNOR TURNS FROM
HORSES TO THE CADILLAC
Governor Samuel B. Ralston, of In

of horses. He loves tnem yet, out nas
learned to love the motor car also.
vM.nod bv his recent purchase of a
Cadillac. Now a part of the executive
stables haa been turned Into a garage.
and the governor uses the Cadillac more
often than he drives out behind his fine
horses.
Whether Governor Ralston win iearn to
drive the car Is a question. For the
present, he says, his son will dj ths
driving. For a long time the governor
has been besought by automobile men to
add a car to the executive equipages, and
for a long time resisted all attempt to
get his name on the state license lists
But he could not resist the lure of the
Cadillac He says he Is proud of Ms se

Goodyear Tires at
Ante-Bellum Prices
The Good year Tire and Rubber com
pany announces "No war prices on
Goodyear tires." F. A. Sieberllng, preal
dent of the company, thus explains) their
unique position.
' advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber panto
came. Almost In a day crude rubber
roeo In New Tork from 65 cents par
pound to much over SI. And, as most
ot the world's rubber comes via London
or Antwerp, we saw uo way out fcr a
time.
"The New Tork supply was too email
to consider. European exchange was) en
tirely suspended. Merchant ships had
ceased running.
"But we have an almost world-wide
organisation, and we brought It at onoe
Into play. We are the world's largest
buyers of high-grade rubber, so we have
our own experts In London, coiomno,
Singapore and Para.
"We cabled our London people to buy
up the pick of the rubber there By act
ing quickly and paying cash they ob
tained 1,500.000 pounds of the finest rub
ber there. They bought before the ad
vancebefore the other buyers saw a
way to get London exchange or to bring
the rubber here.
"That big supply of rubber la now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory In Akron. It constitutes the best
ot the London supply. On tho Inferior
grades remaining, prices have sluce been
rapidly advanced.
"We have since taken other steps to
Insure us a continuous supply, all ot the
highest grade rubber. In all the chief
sources of rubber 'supply we hsve ex
perts -on. the ground., - All Is being done
that can be done to secure the best t-ub
ber, the efcebange to pay for It and the
ships to bring U here.
"The result Is that Goodyear Ore prices
sre now" the game- as-In June. We are
ualng .the-same, grade ot rubber and ths
same amount of , It ,s we always have
used In these tires,
' "We are running our factory with three
shifts of men, . twenty-four hours a day.
So lqng as we remain. In this fortunats
position on rubber, we shall supply tire
users at before-war prices to the limit
of our 'capacity. ;
Haynes Solves Task j
of Disconnecting
Motor from Axle
"The problem of providing a means of
disconnecting the motor from th rear
ale has been one that has continually
confronted the automobile enslneer s'nee
the early days of the Industry, and vari
ous ilevioea have been us,d to some de
gree of success," states 0. J. Cnrkhtll.
branch manairer In this territory for the
Haynes, America's First car.
"The cone type and dlso runnlng-ln-cll
type have been popular, but certa'a fea
tures of their action have led to the de
velopment of a new type ot clutch known
as the three-plate, dry disc clutch. This
Is an Ingenious arrangement of three
plates separated by heavy rings of ray-
bestos. The plates are held in contact
by a large spring and are enclosed In an
oll-llght compartment no that the friction
surfaces are entirely dry and free from
oil. This feature Insures a perfectly even
action of the clutch, sines the Influence
ot the irregular feeding of oil Is absent."

fforeWar Prices
Yet We Never Got Choicer Rubber
We Never Built Better Tires
There exists now a new reason most compelling for buying Good
year Tires, It results from war conditions.
These leading tires built of extra-fine rubber, in the. same way as
always are selling today at June prices.
Due To Quick Action
Early In August when war began the world's rubber
markets seemed suddenly closed to us. Rubber prices dou
bled almost over night.
Men could gee no way to pay for rubber abroad, and no
way to bring It In. We, like others In that psnlo were
forced to higher prices. But we have since gone back to prlci
we charged before the war, and this is how we did it:
We had men In London nd Singapore when the war
broke out. The larger part of the world's rubber supply cornea
through there.' We cabled them to buy up the pick of the
rubber. They bought before the advance 1,600,000 pounds
of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this Is now on the way to us. And it means
practically all of the extra-grade rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men In Colombo, Singapore and
Para. Those are the world's chief source of rubber. Bo we
are pretty well assured of a constant supply, and our pick of
the best tbat'Birprod'Ued.
We were first on the ground. We were quickest in ac,n.
As a result, we shall soon have In storage an almost record
supply of this extra grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now for many
makers is inferior. In ordinary times, the beat tire makers
refuse it. Much of It had been rejected. But that "off rub
ber" now sells for much more than we paid for the beat.
The results are these: - '
Tire prices In general are far la advance of Qoodyesrs.
And many tire makers, short of supplies, will bs forced to
use second-grade rubber. j
Be Careful Now
V
In Ooodyears we pledge you the same-grade tire as always.
And that grade won for Ooodyear the top place la Tlredom -th
largest' sale In the world.
And, for the time being, our prices are the same as before
the war. We shall try to keep them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers will be kept
supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, enly
ante-bellum prices.
That means that Goodyears the Best Tirea built
are selling way below other tires.
