TRIBUTE TO OMAHA MARKET
To Cross the Continent Twice

"1 i f
I ri Hit
The object of the most discussion mm
"National" automobile dealers, the Na
tional Highway "11." arrlred Friday and
was pronounced the fulfillment of all
factory promise by L. J. Traynor.
Owing to the shortage of material for
certain parts there are only a limited
number of these cara In operation at the
present date, and the demonstrator which
I In Omaha now will be here for a few
days only. It may be added here that
the Traynor Automobile company was
one of the flrot to be allowed the uee of
the demonstrator which Is being aent I
through the western territory. This Is a
high tribute to the Traynor Automobile
company and to Omaha as an automobile
market.
A. fchaub, official demonstrator of the
National, factory, la as proud of the "new
Job," as he calls it, as a man Is of Ms
first boy. Unlike many men at the steer
Ins wheel much of the time. Mr. Rchaub
seems to ret real pleasure out of taking
the new National through "the paces."
The manner In which Mr. Bchaub
makes the new car perform puts one In
mind of a spirited horse In a circus ring.
Every touch la met with Instant response.
Mr. Bchaub made the ststement that
the car could be turned around In thirty
three feet, and then 'proceeded to prove
It to the doubtful occupants of the car.
In climbing a hill on high, Mr. Bchaub
started at ten miles per hour, went
about half way up and then slowed down
to between three and four miles to finish
the climb.
Anions; the distinctive features of the
new car la high tension magneto, made
especially for the National. The National,
It Is claimed. Is the first car of more than
alx cylinders to have this type of Ignition.
Annlther distinct advantage Is the ar
rangement of the valves. All valves are
located outside the V-shaped cylinder
blook. making; thenf easily accessible.
It la Interesting to note that the Na
tional's latest design has gone back to
the 128-Inch wheel base.

uars Are becoming
Popular with Women
Tue, rir douht. to-their associations
with racing, which la certainly no pink
t tea affair. National cars have always
, been known as a real I'mtfn" pronosl-
I tlon. There Is a certain style and dls-
) tlnctive appearance about the National
that has caused s It to be known aa an
i aristocrat among; automobiles, carrying
!an appearance, of more masculinity, per
hapa, than any other extremely high
i grade car. As . the National design has
J tflnded , towanla Refinement, ' It has
i avoided effeminacy. The lithe, low-lined
. , body design of ithe National today tells
! of the racing, proclivities of its smces-
tor. The National la a car with fight
, In It blood and atrength In 11a sinews,
' and with an outward appearance that
i bespeaks theaa Inner characteristics.
! TWi Vear, mora than ever before,

Overland '83' Stands
Much Hard-Use On
Its Run from West
In true old western style "hitting the
trails," M. W. Truss and party, consist
ing of Ed P. Coridan, Carl Sweeney and
W. B. White, made the trip from Han
Fancleoo to New York. "Every Inch of
thla trip waa made In an Overland model
"Kf and every Inch of the trip waa a
pleasure," snys Mr. Truss.
The young men who made the trip are
all residents and business men of Cali
fornia and the trip was made purely as
a vacation trip.
From all Indications the Callfornlans
found a few dirt roads In each state
through which they passed, and Mr.
Truss swears that he can dlstingu sh
on the car seven different species ut
clay from seven different localities. One
would hardly dare to dispute him, be
cause he had the evidence with him, both
on the car and in' the car when the
party pulled into Omaha.
Everywhere along the route enthusi
asts donated pennants and the car, tak
ing off the mud, closely resembled the
room of one of our studious (7) college
attendants.
Camping along the road waa one thing
the boys figured on and a complete
camp equipment was tied to the side of
the car. Frequent use waa made of this
equipment, particularly through the west,
where towna and houses were few and
far between.
Every one In the party la a strong
booster for the Overland car. None of
the boys making the trip were expert
automobile men and it was Just a hap
penstance that they picked an Overland.
The trip waa duclded upon and thu ,loys
chipped In to buy the car. The Over
land, Mr. Truss said, "looked good and
kind of suited our 'pile.' I'm glad we
picked it now. It would take some very
clever aaleseman to make me believe his
oar would take ma anywhere 1 couldn't
get with an Overland."
fying aa It has been our endeavor to
put Into the National every refinement,
; style and beauty that would appeal to
lady drivers, and -yet, at the same time,
avoid any appearance of effeminacy.
Now that Nationals are proving to be
: favorites among the fair sex, does not
mean that they are any less masculine
' In makeup than heretofore."
Many SaxonOwners
Drive Their Motors
Across the Country
That the modern lightweight tar .Is
Ideal for long trips, whether from state
to state or across the continent. Is shown
by reports received by the Baxon
company' from a number of owners.
An Interesting feature in connection
viHh these long distance journeys la the
fact that two of them have been mode
by women. Mrs. Ella Wright drove
Hhxou roadster from Jacksonville, Fla.,
to her home In Waterloo, la., much of
the distance over rough . country roads,
particularly In Tennessee and Kentucky,
where Mrs. Wrlgtit's car encountered an
abundance of hills, ditches, rock river
beds and boulders. She wis accompanied
by her son and lived put of doors day
and night till Indiana waa reached. Hnre
Mrs. Wright met with a flood and from
that time on began the hardest part of
the trip, with roads of mud and water
practically all the way across Indiana,
Mllnule and Iowa. -
Another thrilling trip waa made b
Mrs. Kmina T. Walsh, who drove her
twaon roadster from Fort Lauderdale.
Fla.. to Mollne. 111., a distance of l.SiO
miles.

Big New Factory
General Manager W. O. Allen of the
Allen Motor company, Festorla, o., ac
companied by a coterie of his official
workers, motored to Bucyrus recently to
officiate at a banquet In celebration of
the completion, of tbe new addition to
the motor factory.
The increasing demand for Allen ears
has brought about the necessity of an
additional structure ISO by 100 feet In
stse, for the purpose of testing Allen

C0MISKEY WILL NOT GO
II IU IHt WJAUI U IriAIN
' Private advices received In thla city
from Chicago say Charles Comtskey has
finally made un his mind to switch the
tralnlng'trlp next spring from California
to Tcxaa, says the Oakland Tribune. Thla
action is not prompted by any dlsaatla-
faction over conditions here, but because
he beilev.es that the western trip of the
world's champions will take the edge off
the publlo'a welcome to the White Sox,
and also because he thinks Callfornlans
have beguu to tire of the White Hone-
clan.
