It is useless to dwell on the value
of the Elcar, as the automobile is too
old and too well known to make this
necessary. 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.

eastern Nebraska territory is handled

Fair"

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

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.

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.

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. E. K. BEAUCHAMP, Manager.
