In Making Over Eight-Cylinder
Car Considerable Has Been
Done 1 Toward Simplicity.
The Apperson Brothers have made
over the eight-cylinder gasoline mo
tor. They have given another demon
stration of the Apperson efficiency
with which they have been accus
tomed to stir up the motor world
every now and then for the last twenty-five
years.
This latest mechanical stride of the
Appersons is in the direction of sim
plicity. Eighty parts 'have been re
moved from the Apperson eight-cyl-inder
motor.
This motor has already become fa
mous for its power, speed and eco
nomy. Now it is faster, more power
ful, more economical than ever. In
addition, it is more dependable than
the best eight the Appersons' have
ever built previously. And Apperson
dependability is a standard of value
in the motor industry.
The first question a motorist asks
upon being confronted with the state
ment of eighty parts eliminated is:
How do they do it?
The answer is: By one of those
strokes of genius by which every
worth-while thing is accomplished. In
the new motor the Appersons make
one cam shaft do the work of two.
All 16 cam shafts are on the single
haft.
This construction reduces the num-
arms and valve lifter levers are elim
inated entirely.
Murphy-O'Brien
Plan Big Drive
Sy - From Factory
Word was received by the Murphy
O'Brien -Auto company from Dodge
Brothers Motor Car company to the
sffect that there was some uncertain
as to whether it would be possible to
vure freight cars during the next
thirty days.
This meins ndthing in the "young
life" of the Murphy-O'Brien Auto com
pany, however, and they are now
planning upon a big factory drive
away which will take place as soon as
the farmers finish husking their corn.
R. E. Davis has made estimates of
the cost and finds that this method,
nfter paying railroad fare to Detroit,
aotel bills, Pullman, etc., will only in
crease the cost to the prospects about
$5, which amount would easily be off
let by the thrill of driving overland
from Detroit.
1 It is estimated that about 35 dealers
will go back, taking enough prospects
to drive back 100 automobiles.

cured a long time lease on a new
store in the Conant Hotel building,

Brothers company. The company will
have an area on the ground floor of
51x66 feet, with a large balcony at
the west end. A basement of similar
area will be occupied. The second
floor, larger than the' ground space,
together with the entire second floor
of the adjoining Nash building, will
give Orkin Brothers at, unusual
amount of room or display pur
poses. Entrance to the store "will be on
Sixteenth street. The new building
is rapidly nearing completion, Orkin
Brothers expecting to occupy their
new site early in January. Architect
tural plans tor the interior of the
store have been approved. The
Qrkin Brothers have already at
tended to the purchasing of merchan
dise in the east for stocking up he
new site.
"When our store is completed,"
said J. L. Orkin, "it Will be, without
doubt, the largest exclusive women's
store west of Chicago. We shall
spare no expense in making the store
truly representative of growing
Omaha. .
"The merchandise will be entirety
new. It is our desire to make this
a store where women will find distinct
pleasure in shopping."

VAN BRUNT BUYS
OVERLAND BRANCH
Council Bluffs Concern Takes
Over One of the Largest
Auto Concerns in the
West.
Announcement was made last week
that the Willys-Overland, Inc., Omaha
branch is to be discontinued, effective
January 1, 1918. The building leases,
territory and organization will be ta
ken over by the Van Brunt Automo
bile company of Council Bluffs, which
concern will establish its headquar
ters in the present location of the
Overland branch.
In speaking of the change E. B.
Wilson, branch manager, asserts that
this deal is in reality the outgrowth
of a constant desire on the part of
John "M. Willys, president of the
Willys-Overland, Inc., to accord fair
play to all dealers and in the particu
lar case the circumstances are as
follows:
Needs to Expand.
"It is necessary for us to maintain
a very considerable overhead expense
in maintaining the Omaha branch and
in ordet1 to operate this branch eco
nomically, utilizing our facilities ant
organization to the fullest extent, we
feel the need of a larger territory.
"This situation was outlined to the
Van Brunt Automobile company and
in consideration-of the length of time
which it had represented the Over
land company Mr. Willys decided to
put up a 'buy or sell' proposition, thus
giving the old company the fairest
possible deal.
"Although we would have been
content had the deal turned the other
way, the Van Brunt people decided
to buy our interests and the deal will
become effective January 1.
To Retain Entire Force.
The Van Brunt Automobile com
pany will take over the entire branch
organization and the majority of the
present employes will be included.
All service features will be continued
andihe cars will bea the same guar
antee. In other words everything
will continue just as it has except for
a change in the firm name.
It is interesting to recall that
Henry Van Brunt, the father of the
present heads, George and Harry, of
the Van Brunt Automobile company,
was one of the pioneer automobile
men of Nebraska and until a few
years ago controlled the territory
operated by the present Overland
branch.
Does Enormous Business.
The Van Brunt Automobile com
pany has by this move gained control
of one of the largest automobile busi
nesses in the state. It is estimated
that the Overland Omaha branch
has done a business amounting to be
tween two and three million dollars
during the past year.
E. B. Wilson, the present manager
of the Omaha branch, has made a
very satisfactory record in Omaha
during his short stay. It is under
stood that he is to manage one of
the Overland branches at anotheri
point and that he will leave Omaha
soon.
VV. F. Arnold of the branch division
of the Willys-Overland, Inc., Toledo,
will be in charge of - the Omaha
branch until the first of the year and
will devote a large portion of his
time to concluding the new deal.
New National in Demand
As Closed Car for Winter
Meeting pressure for views of its
new National Touring Sedan with
airplane type motor the National
Motor Car and Vehicle Corporation
has broken a precedent of several
years and is making an advance show
ing of that particular type in the dis
play rooms of many of their distribu
tors, instead of waiting for the New
York show.
"The new cars particularly wanted
now for use as a closed car because
of weather conditions," sakl F. E. Mil
ler of the T. G. Northwall company,
the local National distributor, "and
naturally, people wish to see it now
instead of in January they wish to
be driving- it then. It is a refinement
of everything that the National has
turned out Its beauty and luxury as
a closed car and its range and activity
as an open tourer "have been enhanced
by the never-ending effort, to select
finest material and procure highest
workmanship and there's an attention
to detail and extreme care in manufac
ture that characterizes the highest
priced European cars. This same care
has made it a car of economy an en
during car. When a National user has
had the legitimate life ofrls car, he
has had rock-bottom automobile cost
per year besides unusual luxury and
ease."
