For not only haa this giant frraalsetion maintained Btudebaker qual ity In It latest product, while effecting Uvea added refinements and in several instance reducing rrlcss. it la further startling Uia publio by announcing that shipments of the new cara have been go ing forward for the lAat two weeks, so that wore than t.OOO dealers already are able to ahow the aeries 17 models. The baalo dcsljn of the aeries 17 cars show no radical chanres. The mechan ical principles that have proved success ful art retained Intact. Mare Roomlarit. Tb new refinements have been in the direction of saourlng greater roominess and comfort, along with still further con veniences, in spite of those added fea tures, however, the new series 17 four cylinder seven-passenger touring car now sells for io. The three-passenger road ster Is priced at I83S. The six-cylinder even-passenger touring car is priced at tl.flfiO and the three-passenger roadster at CO.

E. Foshier, "will be greatly Interested In the Dort as It haa Buusy featurea that one would hardly expect In a ear selling at the Dort price, 1(90, complete with electrlo starting, eleotrlo lighting, de mountable rims and full accessory equip ment " '. t ' .' "Tha . nam ' Dort In the automobile field la by no means a new one, as' the organisation which builds th Dott haa built vehicles and automobile for the lsct twenty-nine years. The Dort Motor Car company la th outgrowth . of . tha Dursnt-Dort Carriage company, k build ers of th famous Blue Ribbon Una of bwggte and farm vehicles. "In gelling the Dort car th officials of the company have adopted a policy that la unique la its fairness to both dealer and owner. This policy la to de velop one section of territory at a time and only to enter new territory when increased factory " production make it possible to supply additional dealer. "The Dort Model Five touring car sells for only $660, but In looking over the car Itself one Is impressed with the many little refinement and "big car" touchea i hat lift the Dort Into a, claaa of 1U vrn. Tor Instance, you wlB find that th Dort powerful, high speed, long atroke motor, while cast enbloe, haa Indepen ..iMn with large water Jackets that completely surround ach cylinder and each valve cage, making provision tor efficient cooling under the moat se . ... nniiitiona of hard and fast driving. "Again you will find that th Dort uses the dual exhaust, a feature that ha heretofore been confined to the, highest priced cars. This feature entirely elimi nates back pressure and adda to the power of the motors Success of Saxon uar is tut) iaiK. ui The New York Show High above th tumult and talk aroused by the greatest motor show yet staged In New Tork, rose the com ment on the Saxon Motor Car com pany remarkable step from obscurity to a stellar position among the auto mobile companies of the world in two years time. One thousand orders during the last week of 1913 and 1.000 more during the show was the spark which set off the final fireworks. Three hundred enthusiastic Saxon dealera from all parts of the country gathered to gether In a great Jubilee banquet to .lebrata the wonderful winter sale record, and the fact that though only two short years ago the Saxon exhibits waa on the fourth floor, it occupied a prominent position on the main floor at this year'e show and was the cen ter of discussion. Insstnucu ss space at the show Is awarded on the basis of sales volume, the placing of the Saxon on the main floor constitutes offlclsl recognition of the amsxlng growth of th company. One of the big features of the Jubilee banquet was a telegram sent to resi dent Wilson reading. "Saxon dealers of th United State assembled at an nual automobile show send you this meaeeg of faith and confidence In your Americanism In the critical hour of na tion'a history."

EL Foshier returned laat week from th New York auto how, and thetr opinion seem to be generally the same, that tha show waa a success and that dealer war Impressed with th necea slry of placing order early. Th demand upon th factor! during th 191 season will bs manifold, assert he Omaha men, and there m a great pos sibility of a greater oar shortage this veason than there was last.

Rutherford, doclared At eelf willing to throw open Its books and records to an independent audit company if other companies wilt do the same, that the Goodrich company may prove It man ufacture more automobile and truck tire combined than any other concern in America. The challenge states that th Goodrich company manufactured in th last year more than 3,960,000 tires. Supplementary to the challenge la a staterriont Issued by the B. F. Goodrich company in which It denies certain re ports that it bad abandoned th manu facturing of white rubber tires beoaus of prohibitive war.prioe for white pig ment or for other reasons, and Is building the so-called black tread "barefoot" tire as a substitute. To support the denial the company deolarea it haa tone of white Ingredient necessary to build white rub ber Urea on hand at market prices, and that It know , where plenty more la available. K. H.

Lansing Folks Get Rich in Building ' Reb Automobiles Here's an Aladdin' Lamp story thory that comes out of Lansing, where Reo oar are made. Every man whotravel Michigan know I th Downey house, one of th most famous hostelrlea In th entire state Any one who ha aver stayed at tha Downey house known genial "Billy" Grove. "Billy" 1 now manager of the I Downey house Charles P. Downey baa long since com to leave everything to "BUly." But in UOt when the Reo Motor Car company was first incorporated, "Billy" held the position of clerk. "Billy" waa on of the many Lanalng people who had Implicit faith in the men who were then starting in the new enter prise, and he Invested the, to him. Urge sum of U.0O0, in Reo stock. The otier day when the Reo stock holder met and decided to increase the capitalisation of th company .to $10,- 000,000 at th same time voting a 100 per cent stock dividend, "BUly" sat down and figured up how much his fl.ouO in vestment bad developed into In the eleven years sine the Inception of Reo. He found that it now amounted to tllKo. In order to understand this tremendous Increase on must remember that th Reo Motor Car company was originally Incorporated for only $500,000, then in creased to tl .000.000, Ister to $4,000,000 and now to 110,000,000; and that beside the stock dividends declared at those various times, there has been something like 1.400 per cent in cash dividends disbursed among the Reo shareholders. "Billy" Grove' original $1,000 worth of stock has developed into ?,400 shares. This, at the present market value, 33, plua the cash dividend be has received gives him a net earning on his original thousand oV more than $11S,000. ' "And 'best of all,' " aaya Donald E. Bates, secretary and treasurer of the Reo Motor Car company, "la the fact that 'Billy Grove' story is precisely the story of a great many other Lansing people who had confidence In the men who organized the Reo company, and whose confidence has bean Justified aid so handsomely rewarded." 0VERI ND CMpaNY IS TO USE ZONE MANAGEMENT Because of the phenomenal growth and the Immense production of automobile at Toledo.

The real object of son tnna'erent la to bring the factory and Its general sales policies Into closer touch with the dis tributors and dealer In th territory. C. H.
