apo .mountains in the northwestern
part of Bergen county, New Jersey.
This farm was part of the estate
of ; Mr. Brandeis and was the only
piece of real estate held by him at
the time of his death. The rest had
beenTturned over to the holding com
panies which he controlled.
Buying of farms seems to be onepf
the: popular ways of investing monfy
for Omaha people, especially among
physicians and surgeons, ,vV
Why this professidnhould take4o
farm investment j more tffan any other
is 3 question that has - riotbjten an
swered. Dr. C. C. Allison ha a chain
of farms around Omaha, and no dif
ference which way the city's growth
may. be the greatest, he will catch the
benefit. Dr. Harold Gifford is also a
large investor in farms. Dr. Davis, Dr.
i-ora and Dr. Porter and a number
ot Others are buyers of farms
suburban lands.

'Havingrsold 26,000 .-acres of farm'
land for a total of $1,027,000 in the
short space of seven weeks, the Payne
Investment company of Omaha has
embarked on a new gigantic enterprise
of similar character. The Omaha
firm has contracted to sell 40,000 acres
at Lake Charles, La., and has already
made sales to thirty-nine buyers.
The first big colonization sale un
dertaken by the Payne Investment
company was the James J. Hill land
sale at Humbolt, Minn. Thirty years
ago the late "Jim" Hill purchased the
26,000 acres from the government for
$1.25 an acre. Before his death he
asked that the land be sold, stipulating
that it be sold only to farmers. In
looking about for a firm to under
take this enormous sale, the Omaha
-1 Sirts:a -
fj'' Hojrn I'hAUiL
firm was chosen and it more than
made good.
The land was sold to 127 purchasers
at an average price of $35 per acre.
It was sold in seven weeks. Four
teen special car excursions were run
to Humbolt. Forty-four agents con
summated the deals. One thousand
and sixteen newspaper advertisements
were published, 171,700 pieces of ad
vertising matter sent out and over
50,000 form letters were sent to agents
and prospective purchasers. The to
tal consideration was $1,027,000.
It was the biggest sale ever han
dled by the Payne Investment com
pany and will rank as one of the
largest colonization projects ever
launched by any real estate firm in
the country.
Now the Omaha firm is busy with
the LotrTsiana sale, which promises to
be as big if not bigger than the Hill
sale.
George II. Payne, president 'of th
Payne Investment company, and Mark
1. Martin, secretary, are the execu
tives who were in charge of the Hill
sale and now are conducting the
Louisiana sale. Mr. Tayne is the di
rectmg head, while Mr. Martin han

Duntley Generator Gives
. Big Mileage, pa Little Gas
The fdllowmg letter evidences the
advances made" in the gasoline cen
erator field," asserts Mr. Locke of
the Haatmann-Locke Motors com
pany:
Nsw York. Sent. 13. 1917.-i-On Au
tUSfS we started nn our 3 500-mile
trip frrrDrrreit to the Atlantic coast
and return. Our 1913 Ford touring
car, which had been previously driven
60,000 miles equipped with a Duntley
gas generator, was our vehicle.
Up to the present time we have
covered approximately 2,000 miles
our highest average per gallon of
kerosene being 3i.i3 and our lowest
21.2 miles per gallon. The low rec
ord occurred in the Adirondack
mountains. This gives a gross aver
age of 27.1 miles for the entire trip
and taking into consideration the con
ditions of the roads, cold and warm
weather and the hilly condition of the
country we have so far traveled, we
are quite proud of the generator. At
no time on the trip, regardless of
steep grades or rough roads, has the
radiator boiled over.
When on a trip over part of the
same territory in the same Ford last
year burning gasoline, in the ordinary
way, we never got more than twenty
miles to the gallon. led slingman,

I Extra Smart Styles
I You first note the distinctive body
styles. There are eight new types of
g$$rij)4iw, ifkfMeai me is exclusive; ' "
That is because we have our own
body plant. We have our own artists
and experts.
Before designing a body they ex
amine every like-type body built. And
all their best attractions are combined
with ours.
Then our own body plant saves us
.much on each car. And that entire
saving goes into luxuries and beauties
which very few cars afford.
Extra Equipment
Mitchells are the most
complete cars built. They
have 31 rare features.
These include a power
tire pump, a dashboard
engine primer, reversible
headlights, shock-absorbing-springs."
: : 'There is a light in the
tonneau, a locked com
partment. There is heat-
r ifixtfii.-fiflteh ..Which stays.
. ,., new. There, is extra-grade
leather which lasts.
But the chief Mitchell
. extra is doubled endur
, ance. Mitchells are now
built to the standard of
" .',lO0per cent over-strength.
That is twice the usual margin of
safety. This extra strength has made
them lifetime cars. It has reduced re
pair cost 75 per cent. Two Mitchells
'fthatVe know of have'already run over
200,000 miles each.
Bate-Built Cars
Mitchells are all built chassis and
body under John W. Bate, the effi
ciency expert. They are built in a fac
tory which he designed and equipped.
They are built under efficiency methods
which - save us millions of dollars
annually.
That saving pays for all these
extras, in beauty and strength and
equipment With all these extras,
Mitchells undersell all
like-class cars.
