portion of the Interest of tha visitors.
It seems that. In this season' shows.
tha elght-eyllnder Cadlllao la to be the
focusing point of this attention by reason
of Its having been the first eight-cylinder
car produced and marketed in large quan
tities by an American maker.

Cadlllao achievement baa been and to re

CADILLAC BREAKS RECORDS
All Sales Mark. Shattered by Eetail
Dealers at 1919 Exposition
in Hew York,
EXHIBITION ATTRACTS MANY
Previous retail salea record were shat
tered at the 1918 New Tork automobile
show, so far aa the Cadlllao Motor Car
company Is concerned. The Cadillac
Sight was on exhibition and was on of
the main attractions for tha ahow crowda
aa well aa buyers.
"Cadlllao dealers have always dona a
big business at tha shows," remarked
"ales Manager Howard, "but thla one
has been tha moat successful one of all.
Thla Is especially rue of tha closed car
types, limousines, sedans and coupes. "
"Of course, ths factory has not pre
tended to do any business, as our entire
product of tha new eight-cylinder cars
for tha coming year was covered by con
tracts from dealers soma months ago.
Retail Sales Heavy.
"However, our dealers In New Tork,
Jersey City, Brooklyn, Newark and other
nearby cities, a well aa those from tha
east generally, all report closing mora
retail sales than ever before. In fact,
there are a few dealers who have taken
retail orders covering their entire allot
ments and are making strenuous efforts
to get mora care." I
All through tha wash numerous ex
pressions of disappointment were heard
from persons tinabla to get within seeing
or hearing distance of the Cadlllao cut
open . chassis, with Its eight-cylinder,
V-type engine. From the opening until
the close of the show, the exhibit wa
thronged with thoss eager to get a glimpse
of the mechanism and to hear tho lecture
by the demonstrators, and It was neoae
eary for the ahow authorities to use ex
tra precautions to keep a passageway
pea In the aisle to front of tha CadlUaa
space. v
how Style.
Tha Cadlllao exhibit displayed fang
styles of tha now lht-cyllnder aa fol
lows: ?ven-paasen;r touring car, five
passenger salon, flvo-paeeenger edan
and seven-passenger limousine. I-trk of
up are marie It impossible to exhibit the
entire line, which In addition to thoee
named Includes a coupe and a roadster.
"Wa could have used twin the amount
of apace available," said Sales Manager
Ifowar-i. "The cut-open chassis, with Its
elxht-cyllnder engine, attracted such
crowds that many wre unable to get
close enough to see it I bellve if we
had the space to show a half dozen of
them they all would have been sur
rounded most of tha time."
Committee Manages
Oldsmobile Plant
Tn April, 11. a system of management
was put Into effect at the Oldsmobile
plants which perhaps waa unique In tho
motor car Industry and the progress
made by the Oldsmobile company since
that data tend ta ahow Its efficacy.
' Under thta system which la described
as a "three man" method of manage
ment, responsibility for tho affaire of
tha company rests with an executive and
manufacturing' eommlttee composed of
D. P. Edwards, comptroller; J. V. Hall,
salea manager,' and E. Ver Linden, fac
tory manager. Tha duties usually as
signed to a general manager are vested
In tha committee and Its united action la
sought In matters of general policy, . .
For tha Motorist.
Tor an extra wrap for touring a full
military cape of large checked basket
oloth, the checks fully an inch square
la black and white, lined with heavy
whit) satin, is an 'unusual garment
Tha cross belts cross In the back and
oome forward under each arm through
a four-Inch silt, and fasten with a
large pearl button. Another largo but
ton fastens the cap well to tho, left,
giving It a broad lap, and It la forty
four inches long..
Stearns Light Four
Will Make Debut in
Omaha at the Show
The present show will givs the general
Omaha public ita first view of the F. B.
Stearns company's "Pllent Knight" light
four, priced at $1,7W. It Is the first
Btearns car built to sell for less than
f.1.000. and .the first Steams-Knight
model ever sold for lees thsn $3,600.
"We have been able to make thla start
ling price reduction on tha new car for
aeveral reasons." said J. A- Mrlntyre,
who Is looking after aales for tha com
pany, In talking over the new ear.
"In the first place, the new model Is
lighter, simpler and has fewer parta than
any high 'grade car In the world, bar
none, and In this saving of parts there
has been a tremendous saving In manu
facturing cost
"Secondly, wa are producing this car
In quantities that we never before
dreamed of; In fact, we have Increased
our manufacturing schedule some 26 per
cent since first entering the moderate
priced field, and our original schedule
waa pretty stiff. Of course, this larger
quantity production is a wonderful help
In holding down the cost per ear.
"Thirdly, the vast bulk of tha email
cars Is standard, aa wo could hardly give
our patrons the wide range of color and
upholstery options that wa allowed be
fore except, cf course, tn cases of special
Jobs, when we charge an extra price.
"But tha fourth, and largest factor In
our success In marketing a high grade,
splendidly built car for this prloe is due
to the fact that our company haa, I be
lieve, the smallest overhead expense of
any company in the Industry making
high grade care. For example, we have
not one cent of bonded Indebtedness we
have never been forced to Issue on dol
lar's worth of bonds, and, consequently,
for years past have not had to earn any
profit on borrowed money.
"Again, we have never Issued one dol
lar's worth of preferred stock. All our
stock Is common, and practically all of
It la owned and controlled by the active
officers of the company. In other words,
It is close co-operation In every sense of
the word.
"Also, aa Is well known In tha trade,
we are not murdened by waateful sal
arlea of high priced executives who really
do practically nothing toward building
up tha success of tho company. AH of
these things mount up very rapidly, and
the absence of them la a most Important
feature In holding down expenses."
RAYFIELD CARBURETOR
ON NEW SAXON SIX CAR
One of the most notable evidences of tho
marked tendency" among the low priced
cars to Include the ; very " finest equip
ment in their specifications. Is tha recent
announcement by tha Saxon Motor Car
company that their new Six, , at I7M, will
be equipped with the Model A, . Rayfleld
carburetor,' which la a , water Jacketed
model, and la the highest - priced type
mada by the Rayfleld oompeny.
Hupmobilo Builds
Closed Sedan Top
"Almost every motorist," said T. J.
Mooney. salea manager of the ltup
Motor Car company, "realizes that aa
automobile Is more of a necessity during
the winter and stormy weather the in
the summer montha The duties that tha
motorist has to perform during tha
months of the year when the streets are
covered with snow and Ice, ar Just aa
Important aa the daily routine at that
time of tha year when touring ta mora of
a pleasure.
"For tha doctors and professional nan
who are dally out-of-doors; for tho social
dutlea of the ladlea and their shopping
tours the motor car In winter Is an In
dispensable adjunct But ' It oft times
happens that the motor car owner Is not
Inclined to afford the expense and upkeep
of two distinct car an enclosed car for
winter and an open car for summer.
This has been tho main reason why tha
Hupp Motor Car company haa hit upon
tha happy Idea of building removable
top for converting the touring car and
roadster Into sedan and coupe enclosed
cars."

Take the word of the specialists of the industry
take the record of the Firestone Tires for IS years -as
your authority that these 'extras of quality are
necessary for real service and true economy.
Less material and lower grades are traps to make ,.
aales on prices.
The Firestone organization, the largest in the world
" specializing on tires, can make and market, tires and

else in the industry. ,
' ' The tires end prices prove It beyond argument
Firestone Tube Prices Give Added -Proof
of Firestone Savings to You
Firestone is below them all on tubes. WHY? -
A tube is good or bad to the eye and the touch.
Qualitycan and does vary,weght can be and.
is skimped, but not So radically as in tires.
.The buyer won't have it. Having to come
near meeting Firestone quality in tubes 1
others must go above Firestone in price. J
Because, as stated, no one else manu

Firestone or seriously pretends tov. .'"
But we are no more proud of giving you
the beat tube below the others than we are
of giving you the best tire for so little more.
