One of the largest truck deals con
summated in Omaha thus far is em
bodied in the contract between the
Phenix Truck Makers, Incorporated,
and the C. W. Francis Truck com
pany. It is a further evidence of the
growth of the truck attachment in
popularity.
In speaking of the new connection
C. W. Francis, president of the Fran
. cis Truck company, outlined his plans
as follows:
''When I became convinced of the
efficacy and economy of the truck at
tachment I started after the best 'one
I could get. '

Fintfs Long Lost Brother
Through the Draft List
Relatives o Frank V. Estess have
located him after a four years' ab
sence from hom,e through the national
draft lottery. Estess had disap
peared, and as he had never be:n
heard from he was supp. 1 to be
dead. Relatives looking through the
lists of drafted men in The Omaha
Bee noticed his name and looked him
up.
A married sister living in California
Is here visiting. She called up T. E.
Brady of the fourth exemption board
and asked if he had seen her brother.
The brother had just left to hae his
eyes re-examined, so they inquired
for him at Dr. Pollard's office and
found him there taking his physical
examination.
The sister and brother had a long
visit, after whic'.i the brother went
home with her for a family reunion.
The Est is family live at 834 South
"I wanted the best unit I could
get, but I wanted one that was man
ufactured and sold by the manufac
turer to the dealer in the right way. I
wanted to know the men back of this
company their business experience
and their policies.
"I didn't want anything to do with
any stock selling schemes the com
pany's financing had to be sufficient
and proper.
"Th.e Phunix proposition had been
outlined to me and it sounded good,
so I investigated it. I became con
vinced that il was one of the best at
tachments on the market.

"Mr. Owings, president, and Mr.
King, secretary and treasurer of the
Phenix Truck Makers, Incorporated,
are both men of wide experience in
the motor industry. The construction
of their product proves this beyond
all doubt. I decided, after talking with
these men that they knew their busi
ness and their concern and their truck
attachment was a safe proposition to
tie up with.
"We expect to do an enormous busi
ness on this attachment and I am
sure that our friends will find no
flaws in the Phenix design or con-struction."
Lexington Factory Is Rushed
, As Date for New Price Nears
Reports from Connersville, Ind., the
home of the Lexington motor car,
indicates that the factory is well-nigh
swamped w;ith orders from prospec
tive buyers, who wish to take ad
vantage of the present Lexington sell-,
ing price, an increase having been an
nounced to take effect August 10.
Although the cost of materials,
which made it necessary for the com
pany to raise its retail figure, has in
creased from 50 to 100 per cent, the
new price of the advanced design of
the Lexington Minute Man Six only
amounts to an increase of $60. Never
theless, this comparatively slight
boost in the cost to the consumer
has devolped a tremendous and un
expected demand for the cars.
"Our recent increased price an
nouncement revealed to me two
things in a most impressive way,"
Frank B. Ansted, the Lexington's
Body of I. W. W. Orqanizer
Buried on "Battlefield"
Butte, Mont., Aug. 4. A telegram
from W. D. Haywood, national sec
retary of the Industrial Workers of
the World, reading "bury the body on
the fighting ground," has changed the
plans to send the body of Frank H.
Little to Oklahoma for interment,
and arrangements were completed to
day for il e burial of Little tomorrow
afternoon in a Butte cemetery. Death
masks and photographs were made
today of Little, an executive officer
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, who was lynched Wednesday
morning.
Funeral services will be in charge
of Induslrial Workers of the World
members and Metal Mine Workers'
union members. No minister will
take part in the funeral service, it
was said. The body will be interred
in Mountain View cemetery.
Talkj by union and Industrial
Workers of the World leaders and
the reading of letters and telegrams
from throughout the country will
mark the funeral program at the un
dertaking parlors. A procession of
union men and Industrial Workers
of the Wor'.l will follow the body to
the cemetery, the casket to be borne
upon the shoulders of twenty of Lit
tle's former acquaintances and frierfds.
general manager, told a group of
friends the other day.
"It proved, in the first place, the
vast publicity which advertising
brings. Every mail since the an
nouncement was published has con
tained letters from all parts of the
country asking if cars are still avail
able at the $1,285 figure. A letter
from Maine is no sooner read than
one from California is opened. Com
ment on the increase in price has been
received from Seattle, Wash., and yes
terday a clipping came in, concerning
it, from a Florida paper. Although
the announcement had just appeared
once, the whole country knew about
it. It furnished a splendid example
of the power of advertising, from the
standpoint of keeping the public in
touch with your factory conditions.
"The increased demand for cars at
the old price," asserts W. M. Locke,
of the Haarmann-Locke Motor Co.,
Lexington distributors, "also shows
the shrewd and general economic
trend of the buying public, irrespec
tive of its condition of prosperity.
There is no question but what labor
is scarce and money is plentiful just
now. The hysterical economy senti
ment is as dead as Napoleon. With
money plentiful and labor at a prem
ium, one would imagine that the buy
ing public would pay little heed to a
comparatively small advance in a
motor car's price. Not so, however,
with the American motor buying pub
lic. If there is a chance to save a
dollar, the rich man takes advantage
of it the same as the poor man.
Everyone is after the best possible
buy for the money. And that is why
the Lexington business is going to be
bigger next year than even during the
last few weeks."
Negroes Discover Way of
