JOSEPH LIVINGSTON.
Joseph Livingston, for several years
connected with the Indianapolis branch
of the Studebaker corpoartlon, last week
assumed the duties of assistant branch
manager of the Omaha office. He suc

signed. , ,
TRAYNOR CAN GET PLENTY
OF COLE EIGHT AUTOS
In talking of deliveries of the Cole
Eight, Mr. Traynor of the Traynor Au
tomobile company has the . following to
say. "The Cole factory is now In
position to make prompt deliveries. As
verification to this, we are In receipt of
advice that . the factory is shipping
solid tralnload of new Cole Eights to the
New York distributors, which in no way
Interferes with . quantity deliveries - to
other points: Omaha is to have Cola
Eights as fast as ordered." Already a
bunch of orders' are booked for early
delivery by the Omaha distributers.
The Bee Want Ads Are Best Business
Boosters.
"While naturally the automobile a a
new means of transportation made Its
first appeal to the people of cities and
towns, it is surprising how quickly the
rural districts have taken to these
vehicles propelled by gas engines. The
first antagonism engendered by the
frightening of teams waa to be expected.
All the time, however, the farmer waa
considering how he could put the auto
mobile to work. This Is the strong point
nf ha man In the rural districts. Ha
wants things that hava utility," says U
Oilier of the Studebaker corporation.
This consideration of utilitarian value
makes the farmer a more careful buyer
than is his city brother. His eye Is never
held by nonessentials. Having gone over
a situation till he thoroughly understands
It, even before he begins to make In
quiries of a dealer,' he is In a position to
get a dollar of value for every dollar be
spends. It It this cautiousness which Is
In part responsible for the great demand
for Studebakens In the country.
'Studebaker did not start Its automo
bile Industry for farm purposes. The In
tention of the corporation was carried
out when a car up to Studebaker
standards was produced In such quantities
that the price could be made moderately
low. It came about, of course, that the
very name of Studebaker was sufficient
to Interest people from one end of the
country to the other because of their
previous experience with Studebaker
vehicles. This class Included many
farmers. .
"The cautiousness of the farmer for
Investigating before Investing causes him
to demand that the car he buys contain
certain features which are essential for
the successful operation of a machine in
the country. In the first place, the
farmer's car must be uniform In strength
There must be no undue wear on any
one or more parts In operation, or no In
herent original weakness such as a poorly
mouned motor or uneven distribution of
weight The automobile Is more than a
pleasure vehicle for tha farmer, and it
must be always ready for use Just, as la
a plow or harrow."
