SPRING 'BRIGHT IDEA'
Patterson Point Out to Exchange
that Omaha Should Have a
Big; Auto Factory.
HABRISOff MAKES SUGGESTIONS
It was "hrlght Mm" Any t tit 'sat

n. C. rattersnn'a hrlaht InVa was t'mt
the Mrhnn ahoulil line It off rm ind
Influence In gating an nufot.iob.lt fuo

out that $l4.nfpO,fl.iO worth of niiimtiol
snil hM,W of mitornoWIt a" eamirli-s
were eold out of Omaha lift year, fcwl
that mill the demand waa not nipt 'led,
He folt there wni only on solution
that atitni ehouM ha menufai'iired here
"1 walked down with a big iit(,m-iitls
dealer In Omaha Ihla morning," mil'l
Mr. Patterann, "anil ha told ma of Hie
many ordera for cere ha waa unnnle to
nil. lis aaM thnt tha firm lost Uw
by not being able to get rue cars frr.in
th factory faat enough n aivt'tr tha,
demand."
Mr. Patterenn then poln'til :o the fact
that tha Fwit people have Ihi'II nrt as
sembling plant in Omaha, and said o. Vi
na ahonld be urged to nlld similar
jilatila here. If not factor!.', Tha Idea
waa tkn up by other numbers .f the
esi-hange, and It waa pointed o it that
there la no reaenn why a not 'nr, 'Tha
Omaha," or "Tha NeliraaW" could not
be built right hara, iinre angina and
othar vital parta of tha cara nowaday a
ara mostly of atandard make, anyttsy,
Anyone could buy tba.. vl;al i4r' and
than build thn rut of tha car In any In
dividual deelgn deatrad, tha automobile
man argued.
Harry Chrialle's "bright Wan' waa on
Intsrurban tralla. Ha wants tho exchange
to look Into tha matter of getting mora
Irlterilrhans. Someone suggests! that tha
automoblla had solved tbe tn'.erurln
problem, and that tha Intururbsns ara In
ta a thine of tha paa In Just ihe pro
portion that tha automoblla sales In
rreaae throughout tha country.
C. V. Ilarrlaon'a "bright idea" waa tha
Mini one batter atratt signs urged
that he haa harped on fir scims time
that Omaha ahould Ret buay nnj name
and number ua streets by meana of
street signs, ro that (.(rangers could
know where they ara wh-in 'hoy gt Into
tha city. Alao ha wantd ovarheail signs
taken down. Colonnl Illitclt of I.oa An
geles, who waa a guest at tha exchange
meeting, aald they had taken down Ihe
overhead signs In la Angolas and that
nothing could now If dure Ihem to go
to the old algn n'tm.
Colonel Black, aa a guest, volunteered
a "hright Idea." He pnlnt&d out that
Omaha la a much greW city than any
one, who had not aeen realUea. "It
bna been an eye-opener tJ ma," he aald,
'and I have traveled acroei the con
tinent many tlmea. I never I new Omaha
waa audi a great city, t never atopped
here before. Now, I ahould think you
would carry on a publicity campaign of
(mine kind to Induce people to atop off at
oinnha when traveling through tha coun
try. I ahould think you could maintain
some kind of a permanent exhibit hare,
rurthetraveleratoeee. it would have to
be aomethlng dlatlni'tlve, xomethlng whloh
(nmtlia or Nehraaka atanda for oon
eplnunualy, or aomethlng In whloh Omaha
or . Ni braaka have taken the lead. I
ilon't know what It would be, but per
l iii a aanttary exhibit, a pure food ex
hibit, or anything that would be at
tractive and that would atand for aoma
thing in which Omaha haa Wen the
pioneer.'

could pot have got a drop of water out
of that aqueduct If they had wanted to.
A jnckrabhlt would have committed sui

waa Introduced, the Judge said that these
fellows should be defendants In a crim

"When the judge pronounced theae
words the fellows vanished from the court
room and were never seen In Log Angeles

Mr. Illack urged tha local real estate
men to keep alert In matters of this kind,
