HARDLY POSSIBLE
President of Haynei Automo
bile Company Says Country
ia on Threshold of
Prosperity.
"If' there ii on thine that the
American people do not have to fear
in connection with the present war,
it ia business depression," tayi El
wood Haynes, pioneer motor ear
builder and president of the Haynei
Automobile company.
"Instead of facing a.i industrial ces
sation, the United States stands on
the threshold of an era of prosperity,
and just as soon as we have read
justed ourselves ta present conditions,
all the lines of business, which tem
porarily flowed down with the de
claration of war and the passing of
conscription measures, will swing into
a healthy, vigorous pace.
Money in Circulation,
"The fact that the government is
borrowing is not to be- taken as evi
dence that the money will go out of
circulation in this country. In truth
it means the existence of practically
the opposite condition since the
greater part of the government
monies will be immediately spent for
supplies. This is in strong contrast
to the European countries, who are
pouring their hoards into the United
States for the purchase of materials
to effectively prosecute the war,
"Present conditions can only mean
one thing,-and that if domestic con
ditions will be even more prosperous
than they have been in the past. The
American family, which is the de
termining factor for depression or
prosperity,, will do its share in mak
ing its usual purchases of food, cloth
ing, building materials, house fur
nishings ana motor cars."
Hoodoo Day Selected for
A National Mileage Test,
Friday, July 13, has been- set by
Franklin Motor company of Syracuse,
N. Y., for another national gasoline
mileage test On this date Franklin
dealers throughout the United States
will, regardlese of weather or road
condition!, take a car out of stock and
without adjustments of any nature
make test runs for gasoline mileage.
Since 1909 air-cooled motors have
been barred from economy contests
in which water-cooled and air-cooled
motors competed, ao the Franklin
company will stage their own contest.
One of the rules of the contest will
be that the return route of the eon-
testsnts must be over the same route
as the outgoing run this to avoid
disputes regarding favorable condi
tions. Arrangements will be made
for observers from the press and the
Automobile club.
The Franklin has hung tip some
very unusual records for gasoline
mileage, and, in view of the fact that
the car thia year ia from 400 to 500
pounds lighter, H. Pelton, local dis
tributor, looks for a sensational re
sult. In 1914 ninety-four Franklin dealers
entered a contest averaging thirty
two and one-tenth miles to the gal
lon. In 1915 1ST dealers entered the
contest, averaging thirty-one- and
eight-tenths miles to a gallon. ' The
high record made in the 1915 contest
was fifty-five miles, made at New
Haven, Conn, under the observance
of a technical enginer of the Yale fac
ulty. The low. mileage in the 1915;
contest, waa eighteen and two-tenths
miles, J .,
Omaha Firm Quoted as
Having the Right Idea
The following is part of a letter
which has been sent to alt King deal
ers, and ia a fair tribute to newspaper
advertising, and also brings to light
an interesting iact regarding one of
Omaha'a automobile distributors:
"To all King distributors and deal
ers: If the King company don't
sell a lot of cars it Is not the fault of

Motor company at Omaha put the
situation before the writer within a
fortnight as follows: 'Now is the
time to gamble. Only the good gam
bler with the proper kind of energy
behind him can be a successful dealer
today.' And this dealer has put the
King on the map in a good, substan
tial way, at a good profit to himself,
by consistent efforts and' consistent
advertising. There has not been a
week aince this organization has had
a King name plate over it door that
an advertisement has not appeared in
at least one of the local paper. And
the cost to this dealer has been only
little over $6 a ear for newspaper
advertising."
"Millionaire Cowboy" and

"Bronco busters want atrength in
the automobiles they drive and that's
why 'Skeeter Bill' and the 'million
aire cowboy" have chosen a Dort,"
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
"The two cowpunchera and their
wivei passed through San Francisco

The car was decorated aa .befitted the

Motor Sales company as the winner
of first place in Division "B" of the

gin, At the finish the Omaha or
ganization had sold 200 per cent of
their car quota.

"One of the ways, often overlooked,
In which society is benefited by mo
tor truck transportation," says J. C.
Haarmaun of the Haarmann-Locke
Motors company of this city, "is the
increased value it gives to farm land
located many miles from market.
There are many pieces of land located
twenty to fifty miles from prosperous
cities which are admirably auited to
produce and small fruit railing, but
which are lying idle because of their
inaccessibility to market by means of
horse and wagon A motor truck will
put such farms within essy reaching
distance of the market and thus in
crease many times the value of the
land."
A Sludebaker Six has been pur-,
chased by the Retail Grocers' and
Butchers' association of Omaha to be
given away at their annual picnic to
he held July 19. According to Man
ager Kaufmann of Studebaker-Wilson,
Incorporated, this is a tribute to the
high merits of the Studebaker car
and is just an 'added proof of the
great popularity which the Studebaker
enjoys. The giving away of a $1,250
car is a new innovation.
! The Stanley Motor Carriage com
pany, Newton, Mass., has declared its
regular preferred stock dividend at the
rate of per cent per annum, payable
July 1,, to stockholders of record of
that date. Business is reported un
usually good. Deliveries show an in
crease of 200 per cent over the same
period a year ago.
