Studebaker Meets Demand for
Individuality by Giving
Four Options in
Colors.
Mere man, v,ho formerly scorned
women folk for insilting upon "ex
clusive" hats and gowns, has now
entered that class as regards motor
cars and will no longer chide their
wives about demanding exclusiveness.
A strong evidence of this new mas
culine tendency is shown by the great
demand for "special jobs" received by
the Sttidcbaker corporation's custom
made body department. Some of the
most striking example of fine color
work to be seen on the famous drives
of this country are the product of
Studebaker's custom-made shops. .
Guided in its judgment by these
increasing numbers of motorists who
demand individuality in their motor
cars, Studebaker announces that
henceforth the Series 18 touring cars,
both four and six, may be had in a
choice of four distinctive colors.
Studebaker has been famous for
nearly three generations for its su
perb paint and varnish work. The
experience gained during these many
years in the finishing of hundreds of
thousands of fine carriages and motor
cars make Sudebaker eminently
qualified to offer the utmost in spe
cial finish work.
National Man Delighted
With Nebraska Prospects
. C. Helbert, special representative
National Motor Car and Vehicle
corporation, has just returned from an
eighteen-day trio in the territory con
trolled by the T. G. Northwall com
pany and is very enthusiastic regard
ing this season's outlook. Helbert
asserts that the corn is in excellent
shape and the farmers all happy. .
V. E. Miller of the T. G. Northwall
company, says that the new National
Highway "12" is meeting with great
favor in the rural districts as well as
the city. The old National "4" was
an easy favorite during its reign and
laid claim to being the best stock car
in. the world. The Highway "12" as
serts Miller, is an even better job.
Midwest Motor Company
: Gives Evidence of Success
"The Mid-West Motor and Supply
company," asserts C. J. Brokaw, rone
supervisor for the Maxwell factory,
"is giving every evidence of continu
ing the success which the Maxwell
dealer in this territory has alwaya
enjoyed."
"Both Mr. May and Mr. Peterson
have been here nearly every day this
week, fighting for more territory,
which of course is evidence that they
are well satisfied with the line."

The latest wrinkle in Red Cross
activities is the use of the country
clubs for work rooms. One could
not doubt that it is a phenomenal
summer if he peeked in the various
club these warm July days and saw
the groups of busy workers in place
of the customary bridge parties of
former summers.
One of the largest and most recent
organizations is the Happy Hallow
Red Cross auxiliary, which ' meets
every Wednesday in the ball room of
the club house tor an au-day ses
sion. At the first meeting last
Wednesday seventy-five ' members
were enrolled and 100 bandages were
made.
"We wish it understood that all
women workers are welcome to join
the auxiliary whether or not they are
members of the Maooy Hollow club,"
said Mrs. E. C. Twamley, president
of the organization.
Another group of workers which
meets at the clubs is the Omaha chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.

REVISED PRICE LIST
. On account of the general increase in prices of
motor car materials, also in the cost of tires and labor,

facturer, the Scripps-Booth Corporation and Liberty
Motor Car Company have announced increases in
prices and are now in effect. ' V

It was with great reluctance that our factories made this advance and
would not have done so were it possible to produce the cars at the old price
without decrease of quality, and that, of course, is something neither of our
companies .would do.
' WeV believe that at the present prices the Scripps-Booth and Liberty
cars represent the very highest value for the money and as such we confidently
recommend them to our friends.

Remarkable
Eight
TODAY or any day come see what the mastery of Jackson
Engineers has wrought in the Eight See how the union of the
two greatest power principles Valve-in-Head and Eight cyl
indershas climaxed the Eight with astounding records of power
and economy. The wonderful Jackson Valve-in-Head Eight diners
from the old type.Eight, both in principle and performance.
How the Valve-in-Head Improves the Eight
Valve-in-Head means rapid and
complete combuttion. The explos
ion takes place directly over the head
where it should. None of the energy
is wasted. It adds 20 to the Jack
son's power. No other motor of the
same weight or piston displacement
gives or even claims to give as much
power.
But the Valve-in-Head brought
more to the Eight than added power.
The Valve-in-Head idea gave to the
Eight economy, accessibility. It over
came the drawbacks that are today
serious problems to the old type Eight
A most amazing test of 18 months
50,000,000 miles (5,000 Jackson cars
in owners' hands averaging 10,000
miles) marked the triumph of Jackson
engineers in the merger of these two
big power principles.

JACKSON AUTOMOBILE CO.-
10th Ave. and 6th St Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Gas consumption averaged 17.7
miles per gallon. Accessibility is most
surprising. In 12 minutes you can
adjust all the valves. At any speed
the engine is automatically lubricated
with the oil supply regulated by your
foot throttle as you accelerate.
When the Itraffic Is dense you can
slow down in high to Y mile-an-hour
pace. In the open you can speed up
from a standing start to 30 miles an
hour in seven seconds. On hills the
great Jackson Valve-in-Head shows
its remarkable worth.

Come in-see an actual demonstration
of t 'hat the Valve-in-Headaccomplish-ed
in the Eight and how it brought
the Eight to its highest development.
