The experienced
motor tourist gives
the tire question most
serious consideration
To the motorist of any considerable experience,
the tire question is not answered by "I'll try it,"
rather by "I have tried them."
If you don't know why Goodrich tires are used
by race drivers and experienced motorists, it's
high time you asked us.

The Maxwell Will Interest You
There is but one thing responsible for the pres-
ent low price of the Maxwell. It is the concentration k;
on one type of car; standardization in every respect, '
and the fact that there is enough money back of the 4
Maxwell to employ every saving known to present- 4
aay manuiacture.

into the bargain.
A n timber of historic and scenic
tours have been arranged. i
Route books ami cards have been
printed and may he secured by mo- i
torists at the establishments of auto- j
mobile dealers and accessory men in ;
the city.
These arc printed on folding cards
of convenient size. Those for Omaha i
include tours from Omaha to Kansas
City, V)A miles; Omaha to Simix
City, 111.5 miles; Omaha to Dcnison.
la., 7t.5 miles: Omaha to Minneapolis.
Kvery turn and landmark in the mail
is noted in these route cards.
The use of the automobile for tour
ing has been increased greatly in the
last few yeai , but it is believed it
has only begun its usefulness, in this
line, and tlie object of the present spe
cial demonstration is to bring this
feature of the use of the machine
more forcibly home to motor car
users.
The beauty spots and the historic
roads and the charms of the rustic
scenery in Nebraska and neighboring
states are not easily surpassed.
There are charming woodlands,
beautiful lakes and streams full of
fish.
Saxon "Sixes" in World's -Record
Run From New York to 'Frisco
6 Days 18 Hours 10 Minutes

Precisely al 10:80 Saturday morninp, July a
Saxon "Six" swung through the dnrn of the
New York Suxon salesroom, sped swiftly through
the crowded traffic, crossed the ferry, and with
its radiator turned to the west struck into a
record-hreakinp speed.
The eager driver bore message from Mayor
Mitchel of New York to Mayor Rolf of San
Francisco.
One hundred miles further on another Saxon
"Six" driver took up the message and the race
against time. So on and so on until the 3Hth
Saxon "Six" in the Atlantic-Pacific relay race
drew up at Mayor Rolf's office in Frisco at 4:40
Saturday morning, July 122.
And the time was 6 days, 18 hours and 10 min
utes th fastest time ever mad by automobile
from New York to Sen Francisco over the Lin
coln Highway.
consider that the terrific rate of speed at
which it was necessary for each Saxon "Six"
to be driven made the wear and tear on each
car equal to that of hundreds and hundreds of
miles of ordinary motoring.
- consider that not a single mechanical fault
developed to delay the progresB of this thril
ling trans-continental trip.
consider that these Saxon "Sixes" met and
surmounted every possible obstacle of road
and weather. Through deep and heavy sand,
over new-made country roads, across streams
and up rock-strewn mountain roads, across
vast, sun-baked stretches, these Saxon "Sixes"
proved to the world their wonderful strength
and stability.
And now with these things in mind, know
ing the difficulties thesn Saxon "Sixes" had
to overcome you will know more clearly how
remarkable is the time of 6 days, 18 hours
and 10 minutes for this ocean-to-ocean dash,
and you will realize more vividly than from
any words what a truly wonderful motor car
Saxon "Six" really is.

That Made
'Em All Sit
Up and Take
Notice
True it was a shock to
those blase motorists who
went to the far ends of
the earth to buy their
cars, but they now admit
that Omaha has men just
as capable of building
automobiles as any east
ern city. Now they give
give us credit.
The Dr. mmond Eight is
a revelation, a luxurious
motor car embodying all
the tried and proven prin
ciples. Before you buy,
give Omaha a chance to
show her own.
