The First Stanley Car.
The first Stanley car was built in
IIWS by trie brothers, F . O. and F. E.
Stanley, for their own oersonal use.
At that time their business was the
manufacture of the Stanley nlmtn.
graphic dry plate. Their factory build
ing is now part ot the Stanley works.
The original car was so successful in
operation that it encouraged them to
further efforts and during the next
two years a number of cars were built
and sold.
For years the Stanley company has
been the only producing manufacturer
of steam cars in the country. Its rac
ing records were envied by the whole
world until a few years ago, when it
discontinued speedway tests because
ot tne aanger to drivers.
the important items making for the
continued growth in importance of
the LincolnHighway, Nebraska will
soon be second to none in the char
acter of the hotels along it and their
strategic location from the view
point of the auto tourist
It it upon reaching Omaha that the
autoist enters upon the Nebraska
Lincoln Highway' And right in the
heart of the city's exclusive resi
dential district he finds the city's
newest hotel, the Blackstone, recently
completed for the Blackstone Holding
company, by the, Bankers' Realty
company of Omaha. ,
And when the two new hotels, the
North American Hotel compsny now
has under way at Kearney and at
Grand Island are completed, the auto
tourist will be able to cross Nebraska
with the certainty of breaking his
Journey at convenient intervals, while
putting up at hotels supplying every
modern convenience and comfort.
Other hotels in other states are to be
erected by the North American Hotel
company as part of the chain of ho
tels it is fast building in the middle
west A goodly number of these will
be on the Lincoln Highway, so that
eventually the North American Hotel
company will be a familiar name to
autoists from all sections of the
United States.
A fact of interest in connection
with Nebraska and the Lincoln High
way, is that of the sip cities from
coast to coast, having a poulation in
excess of 100,000, Omaha with about
200,000 is one. The Lincoln Highway
is 3,389 miles long, passes through
725 cities, towns, villages and ham
lets and there is in the comparatively
narrow strip, Which it may be said
to serve a total population of 22.

GENERAL PROSPERITY

General Salei Manager of Jef
fery Car Sees Great Busi
ness for the United
States.
While the present price of the Jef-
fery Six cannot be maintained in
definitely, certainly not after the pres
ent stock of raw materials, which the
Nash Motors company purchased over
year ago at the then prevailing
lower prices, is' used up, nevertheless
the Nash Motors company is making
plans for big production schedules,
and according to C. B. Voorhis, gen
eral sales manager, is confident that
unparalleled prosperity lies just ahead
for all American business, including
the automobile industry.
"For the next few years," says Mr.
Voorhis, "America must be the work
shop of the world. Night and day the
smoke will be black above her fac
tories. The wheels of commerce must
turn as they never turned before.
Must Feed the World.
"America must feed the world; she
must clothe the worM; she must fur
nish transportation for the world; she
must be the world warehouse.
"Our lands will produce more croDS
our mines more ore, our factories will
double, treble their outputs.
Prosperity, unparalleled prosperity.
must follow. Billions of dollars must
flow through the channels of Amer
ican trade.
Men and women in everv branch
of society will make more money,
spend more money than ever before.
Will Make More Purchases.
"Thev will buv more shoes, more
furniture, more stoves, more homes.
more sewing machines. They will buy
more automobiles and even more
trucks, so we are making every
preparation to meet the demand which
is sure to come.
The Nash Motors company actual
ly manufactures 93 per cent of every
Jeffery Six.
We purchased our present stock of
raw materials over a year ago. We
were forced to buy far in advance and
in huge quantities."
Problem Will Be to Get
' Better Grades of Cars
A shortage of automobiles this
summer is prcHicted by Sales Man
ager George H. Houliston of the
Hupp Motor Car corporation.
"The country is taking automobiles
of the better and popular types faster
man tne lactones are able to produce
tnem, said Mr. Houliston. "All win
ter the manufacturers have been
struggling with the freight car short
age, but this summer it will be the
consumer who will suffer from the
shortage of the better makes of auto
mobiles. Even the higher cost of ma
terials and labor and the necessary in
creases-in the prices of all the better
classes of cars has not slackened to
any noticeable degree the demand for
machines. But the difficulties of se
curing materials and producing the
cars are so great that none of the big
concerns will be able to fill their rap
idly increasing orders.
"This is evidenced by sales records
of the Hupp Motor CaK corporation,
which art typical of conditions in
most of the leading companies. We
enjoyed in the first months of 1917
the largest quarter in Hupmobile his
tory, yet we were nearly 2.OO0 cars
behind our orders for immediate shipment."
Enclosed Cars Rapidly
Growing in Public Favor
Most persons have the feeling that
automobile tops are put up and down
with every change of the weather.
To get some accurate information
on this subject, Newman Samuel,
Franklin dealer in Cincinnati, re
cently conducted an investigation
among the Franklin open -car owners
in that city, the data showing that
during the last year 75 per cent of
Cincinnati Franklin owners ran their
cars with the tops up all the time.
This investigation is typical of the
discovery people are making of the
practicability of the permanent top,
and the resulting change of sentiment
is largely responsible for the rapidly
growing popularity of the enclosed
type of car. People of all climates
are now realizing that with regulated
ventilation the permanent top gives

A census of this year's types of
Franklin cars in several laree cities.
known as hot summer places discloses
the fact that the percentage of en
closed cars to open cars is very favor
able to the former.

n til 1870. when he was succeeded bv
M. W. Purchase. Both of these men
kept the postoffice in their homes.
The town was laid out in 1871 on
the lands of J. H. Logan and G. A.
Kelsey. The first school in Waterloo
was taught in the summer of 1865 by
Miss H. H. Thomas. School was kept
in the sod house of a homsteader and
there were just six pupils.
The first store in Waterloo was
opened in 1869 by W. A. Denton.
This store was operated by various
men. In 1879 the second store was
started by J. G. Herrington.
