THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEg; SEPTEMBER 16, 1917- D WILL URGE BANKS TO JOIN OMAHA BOARD x Realtors Entertain Building Managers at Wednesday Luncheon and . Hear Brief Addresses. New Radiators Speed Up the Omaha Drying Plants Omaha Realtors and owners of of fice, and apartment buildings were very much pleased and profited by the recent convention of the National As sociation of Building Managers and Owners. A number of Realtors were in the convention men who are members of real estate boards in their, home cities, but who specialize in large rental properties. The Omaha Real Estate board extended the hospitalities of its Wednesday lunch eon to twenty-nine of these gen tlemen and heard some very compli mentary remarks from the visitors about Omaha and the prosperous ap pearance of the city. Among rhe brief and practical ad dresses made was one by Past Presi dent Paul Steinbrecker of the the Chi cago Real Estate board. Mr. Stein brecker told the Omaha' Realtors that his board; was the oldest real estate organization in the country, being or ganized in 1883. The Omaha organi zation was effected in 1887. As is the case everywhere else , where these organizations have been properly worked put, the Chicago board, Mr. Steinbrecker says, has been very effi cient in promoting the growth and best interests of the city. He urged upqn the Omaha board the necessity of adopting a feature which has been very successful and effective in Chi cago and elsewhere of securing an as ciate membership to be constituted of large business concerns which are or should be interested in real estate large real estate owners, often pro fessional men, bankers, capitalists and estates. In Chicago every bank is an associate member of the Chicago Real Estate board, paying an annual fee of $200, and finding it greatly, to their advantage to thus be brought in close touch with the active real estate lead ers. This plan of a constituency of as sociate members has been discussed by! the Omaha board for years, but never worked out. The membership committee is now planning to push this feature. The convention was interesting to local property owners and agents be cause it endorsed the position taken by the focal people that the proper rental and care of property is a voca tion by itself. The local people also found that the problems are the same everywhere as well as the factors which go to make a good or 'bad rental investment. They found that apartment houses, for instance, have Y fir Wickham to Build Huge Aviation Camp for U. S. E. A. Wickham of Council Bluffs has landed a government contract to build a $2,000,000 aviation camp at Lake Charles, La. The contract was secured by the hrm of Jansee, v lck- ham & Simms Co., of which Mr. Detective Dunn Shows Speed Recovering "Lost'' Diamonds O By means of a new radiator install ed in the municipal drying plants at Central Park and South Side High schools, fruits and vegetables can now be dried in a much shorter space of time. Travs which formerly took be tween twenty-four hours and thirty si hours to dry, can now be dried in eighteen to twenty-tour hours. The radiator demonstrates its value especially on cold, wet days, when it sends dratts ot warm air tnrougn the trays of dried fruits. Friday afternoon at 4:30 Mrs. E. A. Duvois of New Richland, Minn., while washing her hands in the lavatory at the Brandeis stores, slipped two dia mond rings off her fingers and laid them on the ledge of the bowl. She forgot to put them on when she went out and when she returned for them in a panic a few minutes later they were not where she had left them. She called her brother, who lives in Omaha, and after frantically search ing for the lost ornaments they finally decided at 5:30 to notify the police station. Mrs. Duvois was leaving town at 6:15 p. m. over the Union Pacific. " Detective Dunn immediately rushed up to the store and, after making a thorough search of the lavatory, found the .two rings buried in a lather of soap and water in a little groove at' the side of the bowl, into which the rings had fallen. Dunn jumped into a passing 'automobile and deliv ered them to Mrs. Duvois at the sta tion just five minutes before the train on which she was leaving pulled out. practically the same history east and est, north and south. It was inter esting also to note in the discussions, that which, has been prominent in all real estate conferences of recent years, the insistence on honorable dealing, proper preparation and train ing before one aspires to care for an other man's property, and a general high-toned sentiment that goes far to put the business of real estate, man agement and dealing in the profes sional class. The east has not been as active and interested in organizing its real estate men as the middle west and far west, Mr. Todd Sloan of New Haven, Conn., stated that not until two years ago were "so-called real estate men" organized into a real estate board. He gave as his opinion that these two years had seen a wonderful improve ment in the character of the men, in their business, and their methods of handling business, and in their stand ing in the community. He expressed his appreciation of meeting in Omaha with a board 30 years old.

The Westcott Six is the first car with chassis perfectly lubricated by oil cups exclusively. The "self-acting" top is bound to supersede the one-man top on touring cars and roadsters. Westcott is the 2rst to use it as stand ard equipment on all open models. Engineers unanimously agree that motor temperature must be uni form under all conditions to secure maximum efficiency at minimum consumption of fuel. Uniform temperature can be maintained only by automatic regulation. The Westcott is equipped with a thermo stat, the only device known that automatically and unfailingly accomplishes this result Every Westcott Car is road tested before leaving the hands of the Westcott engineers.

The engine that supplies the power ---the rear axle that converts that power into mileage. The engine and rear axle of the International Motor Truck are built complete in the large Interna tional Motor Truck plant at Akron. The engine is remarkable both for its power and economy. It is one of the feAv . motor truck engines that stand up under the trying 'day-by-day conditions of com mercial work. . , ' International angina International Internal f Mr drlv. r.r axl. , Homing cut away to how differential f.ari The rear axle is of the internal gear drive type; a heat-treatec. one-piece drop forg ing for carrying the load, and a live axle for transmitting power. Do you know that a man can move a fully loaded International Motor Truck on a level dirt road by turn ing the drive shaft with one hand? A good engine has an easy time furnishing power to a truck built as well as that. . During the month. of July, 1513 International Motor Trucks were sold in the United States to be used for commercial purposes. Some of these concerns had problems just like yours. Ask us to sjiow you how the International solves them. There is a size and style for your business-1,500, 2,000, 3,000 or 4,000 pounds capacity, at $1,450 to $2,550 for the chassis (f. o. b. factory).
