Until eighteen months ago the Elcar was an eastern car only, and it was a favorite in the east, too. But , after the organization of the Nebraska Elcar company, due to the standing of the men in the organization and the vigorous campaign they inaugurated, the car has become very popular in the west. Knowing the value of the Elcar, the important Question in the mind of the purchaser becomes, "From whom am j I buying this car? Is the company re liable?' The Nebraska Elcar comoanv with offices.and salesrooms at Eleventh and P streets, Lincoln, are factory distri butors for the Elcar in Nebraska. western Iowa and part of the Dakotas and the immense number of dealers and purchasers of the Elcar during the lite ot the Nebraska Wear com pany is conclusive proof not only of the value ot the car but ot the sound business methods and integrity of the gentlemen who compose the Nebraska Jilcar company. The western Iowa and a par.t of eastern Nebraska territory is handled by the Prince Auto company of Oma- "The Nebraska State Fair" (Continued from Page Fire.) unit in backing up the institution of which we can all be proud, and, secure in this feeling, it has undertaken one of the greatest experiments not only to the fair people, but to the other side, and have engaged the Carl Hagenback-Great Wallace shows with their trained animals for the entire week of the fair a9 their free attrac tion taking the place of the usual aeroplane and automobile races. This big three-ringed circus will perform daily before the grandstand and you will find a fine array of animals on the Midway. The Nebraska state fair is not only a successful financial institution, an.d an educational institution, but this year of 1917 we particularly urge that every citizen of this state will look at the fair with a new light of under standing; we want the fair to be a success this year because of the great good that can be accomplished in :the world crisis we are today facing. The efforts put forth to make a splen did exhibit in each department at the fair can only result in added good, not only to the exhibitor, but to the spectator. We are offering even 'bet ter premiums than were given last :year and we expect to put forth our energies to the end that this partic ular fair will outclass all previous fairs. It is our duty to do this and it s your duty, your patriotic duty, to ! September 3 to 7, 1917, in order that the fair may be a success and fill its place in the work being carried on for the sake of humanity and a world freedom. i Lincoln Hat Factory is One Of State's Big Wholesalers Over 100 per cent increase in busi ness in the last ten years. This is the record of the E. R. Deputy com pany of Lincoln in business estab lished something like eleven years ago. During the month of July its business was more fhan for the en tire first year of its existence. So rapid has been its increase that the business extends all over the middle west, and it is probable that no wholesale firm in Lincoln can com pare with the Deputy company as a consistent and successful trade get ter. The Deputy hats are worn all over the west, and there are, few towns in the Missouri river territory where there is not at least one- merchant handling the Deputy productions, which covers not only hats, but caps, gloves, shirts, rain coats, work clothing and many other lines of a like nature. Its main establishment in Lincoln consists of a three-story and base ment stfucture, while the, increase in business has forced the company to establish a storage house close by. It has a large force of salesmen, who cover the country in all directions. These salesmen start out t'.e first of September with an attractive line for the spring trade wnicn is. nara to beat.

Read The Bee for Latest News The World's Greatest Lkht Car Values' It has been the object of the Elkhart Vehicle company ever since it entered the automobile field to offer a car to the motor-buying public which would combine all of the service and beauty features which the American people demand, and at the same time have a car which would be within the reach of the average American pouketbook and a car which could be operated at a minimum olT arid gas expense and very small upkeep, and after a number of years of study and development they offer in the Elcar a medium priced car which meets all of those demands and goes a little bit further and gives all of the features for less than a thousand dollars which are generally found in cars selling for $1,400 to $l,600w .

Four-Passenger Touring-Roadster, Model "E" This type of body js intermediate between the touring car and road ster, presents a very classy appearance, is much favored by small families and especially by young men who wish a car that will accommodate sev eral friends without at the same time suggesting a family car in appear ance. It is a car that looks right, whether carrying a single passenger or filled to capacity. There are two forward seats with space between for entering the rear compartment, which is of roomy width. The floor space is sufficient lor the comfort of average persons, and is made more ade quate by toe spaces cut under the forward seats. The second cowl extends over the backs of the forward seats, adding much by way of appearance, and the seat" backs run well around to the sides to insure the highest degree of comfort. In the rear of the body is a commodious carrying space for tools, etc. In construction, upholstering, general finish, etc., Model "E" body is the -same as Model "D." Five-Passenger Touring Car, Model "D"- This model c-xmiplifen all that it moet beautiful, and at ths tarn tlma practical. In modarn touring ear dailgn. Nothing has been done without full regard to every consideration of comfort and utility, ai well ai appearance. The top of the doora' and body sides is formed by overturning the iheet metal, which together with the sweeping body line, sloping wind shield and second cowl effect over back of forward seat, produces a distinctive grace that few designers have been able to rival.' Hand pads to match the upholstering are provided upon the doors and the inside trim of the doors of both compartments In-. eludes a commodious flop-covered pocket for gloves, veils, goggles or any small belongings. The upholstering Is deep, the coiled springs in the curhions being elprht inches h'gh. thirty-two springs in the forward cushion and forty In the rear. The upholstering is done in high grade "Chase leather" stock, highly flnlr.hed. and the full interior of both compartments is lined with material to match. The cushions are upholstered in full Turkish style, thus securing a richer.' appearance and : avoiding a seam at the forward edge. Carpet on tonneau floor, rubber mat In forward compartment, foot rail and robe rail in tonneitu. scuff plates 'on all door sills. The fenders are of heavy gauge steel, full crowned and gracefully curved, and the running boards, both dear, are lino leum covered and aluminum bound. taJiteVWNsaljiwVwVWWM Two-Passenger Roadster, Model "F" This: model should make a strong appeal to those whose needs are best served by a two-passenger car. Unless our idea of beauty is sadly at fault, this is one of the best appearing roadsters to be had? regardless of price. The car rying space in the rear accommodates the extra tire and rim, with plenty of room to spare for tools and other articles of equipment. Under the seat is an other compartment sufficiently large to carry a common sized suit case, which is a feature that will be1 appreciated by those who wish to do touring in' a road ster. , Access to this compartment is by a door on the right-hand side of the body, so constructed that rain will not get inside. In construction, materials, trim, etc., Model "F" body is the same as Model "D." When Model "F" is ordered with wire, wheel equipment, bracket for carry ing the spare wheel at the rear is furnished, the same as with other models. -'------- - -- - - - -i-i--i-i rrir.''irii,rir-rii' nn.in ri.ruiru.n Power Plant Unit system on three-point suspension.

There are many cars offered for more money which are represented to be of greater value than can be had for any less and in some instances more than is asked for-them, but there has never been the equal of the Elcar offered for the same amount of money or for from $200 to ?300 more. We do not claim for the Elcar that it is the greatest car ever manufactured, but we do claim for it, and its service records prove, that it is the greatest light car value which has ever been offered the motor buying public for anywhere near the price asked for, and if you are in any way skeptical about this claim ask us to prove it.
