Camouflaged Overland Returns From Fr once 1 A camouflaged Overland ambul ance, veteran of many thrilling events in the war zone of France, has been the object of unusual interest on the streets of New York City and other eastern cities during the last few weeks. Immediately on its return to the United States, it was drafted into useiin connection with the Liberty loan Campaign in New York. After the conclusion of the campaign, it made a tour of some of the larger neighboring cities and is now back in New York for the much talked about Hero Land Bazar at Grand Central Palace. , ' The car today stands practically as received from France by the New York branch of Willys-Overland Inc. It has been necessary, however, to replace a couple of the tires, the original tires having been worn out when the car went - out of service. The fenders or rather what is left of them, are much the worse for wear and abuse, and the car has every ap pearance of haying undergone most strenuous campaigns. The camouflage is the most inter esting part, of the -exhibit. The body is painted 'almost every color of the rainbow. It looks as though a fu tirist had been given instructions to do his worst. Broad, irregular stripes of horizon blue alternate with stripes of green, brown and yellow. The running gear and wheels , are painted in earth colors, greens and browns f predominating. Along the top have been attached boughs, but the leaves are now giving way to the chill winds of winter. Across, the back where the door once hung is nailed a large tarpaulin, which was at one time a portion of a shop awning Through the coating of mud, the shopkeeper's name is still distinguish able, and one can readily imagine that it was appropriated hastily from some French shop maybe it was in Louvain or Verdun after the car's door had been broken away. The tarpaulin is also camouflaged in the same colors as the main body of the car. In the center has been hurriedly sewn a piece of celluloid large enough to enable the driver to see out of the back of the ambulance. The interior of the ambulance, al though still in good condition, con tinues to bear the unmistakable odor of strong disinfectants. Defiance Truck Soon To Be on Omaha Row Announcement was made last week tolhe effect that the Standard Motor Car company will take on the distri butors' contract for .Defiance trucks. The Defiance is to be manufactured by the Allen Motor Car company of Fastoria, O., and is credited with be ing a real motor truck capable of holding a place among the leaders. Carl Changstrom is very enthusi astic regarding the new truck and says that it if characterized by Allen quality throughout.

An important acquistion to Omaha from an industrial standpoint is the locating of the Brictson Manufactur ing company in this city. The fac tory has been located at Brookings, S. D., for the last eight years, en gaged in the manufacture of the Brictson 10,000-mile puncture proof tire. The offices have been moved here The Brictson company will erect here at an early date a large automo bile tire factory and in addition to the Brictson 10,000-mile ' puncture proof tire will manufacture a two pieoe tire and a standard line of tires and tubes, in addition to operating a reclaiming plant C. AT Brictson, president of ; the company, considers Omaha the logical center for the tire industry, Because of its central location and excellent railway- facilities? and further that rude rubber can be laid down in Omaha for one-tenth less the freight rate to Akron, O., which is now the hub of the tire industry. Speaking oj the rubber supply Mr. Brictson further states that there are millions of acres of rubber plants un der cultivation with tremendous areas of the tropics still uncultivated. The world's potential rubber supply seems almost inexhaustible. Those who have not looked into the rubber-industry and are not fa miliar with the rubber tire' factories located at Akron, O., and elsewhere cannot realize the possibilities of the industry. Many of the tire factories have been unable to gauge their own rates of growth More than once buildings have been put up and then torn down before Ihey were finished, to be started all over again on a larger scale. One of the large tire factories, Mr. Brictson states, has .building plans as far ahead as 1924. In speaking of the distribution of Brictson tires he mentioned the fact that his company had recently made a large shipment to Caracas, Ven ezulea, -and ha9 sold tires in many other foreign countries, with a wide distribution - throughout' the United States. ' The factory of the Brictson Manu facturing company will continue to operate in Brookings, S.-D., till the new factory here is in operation. Trucks Bring Land Much Closer to the Markets By the use of . motor trucks farm ers can haul to market while keeping their horses working in the fields. In this way land formerly too. far from market-for profitable farming is brought into good, use. ' - The farmer is also coming to' be the large passenger car owner. The motor car is not only increasing his work ing capacity and the hippiness of his family; it ,is keeping hjs boys on the farm. George Mulligan, a rancher in the sana hills of Nebraska, lives 12 miles southeast of the town of Sargeant; his ranch covers 1,800 aeries and he is not only a great agricultural farmer, but also an extensive cattle raiser. He has lived in this locality for the past 45. years. He has his own electric light plant, his own water works, also storage gas for cooking purposes. He uses tractors in; farming and is so thoroughly convinced of the prac ticability of the use of motor cars that he has replaced six saddle horses with two Ford roadsters, using these to round up his cattle and to attend to chores on various parts of his land. , Mr. Mulligan is a farmer who not only recognizes the necessity for motorizing his farm, but also, knows that by eliminating the hard work he can greatly increase his earning capacity. . ' Paige and Dodge Cars On Show at Murphy-O'Brien's A very elaborate exhibit of Paige and Dodge closed car models is being held at the salesroom of the Murphy O'Brien Auto company and is attract ing a considerable amount of atten tion. One can almost see the passing of the open touring model-when sur rounded by these excellent examples of coach building. The closed car of today is as snug, convenient and beau tiful as one could wish and many of the models can be converted instantjy with open touring models. , You can secure a maid, stenogra pher or bookkeeper by us"ing a Bee Want Ad.
