REPEAT ORDERS
RECEIVED FOR
SANDOW TRUCKS
Omaha Motor Sales Company
Receives Cash Testimonials
From Large Number of
Satisfied Owners.
The Omaha Motor Sales company,
Iowa and Nebraska distributors for
the Sandow track, is enthusiastic over
the business outlook in the truck line
since the opening of the auto show.
Many repeat orders are being received
from satisfied Sandow users as a re
sult of sales made last year. Mr. Or-
loff, the general manager, considers
the repeat orders the largest compli
ment that can be oaid the manuf actur
ers and distributors of the Sandow
truck.
Until a few years ago there were
no Sandow trucks in service outside
of Chicago, where they are made
now they are in use everywhere. 1 he
Sandow truck factory today is one of
the largest in the country and the
constant growth and popularity of the
Sandow truck is evidence that the
Sandow is designed on correct engi
neering principles from the best ma
terials obtainable ana tor real service.
Fulfillment of Purpose.
. The' Sandow truck is the outgrowth
of a big idea, the fulfillment of a pur
nose, a determination to make a high'
grade line of trucks adaptable to
every kind of trade at a price which
makes it an economical business ne
cessity for every merchant, farmer
and manufacturer. The Sandow is
the lowest priced high-grade worm-
driven trucK on me mariccr.
T. L. Beach, oresident and treas
urer of the Sandow factory, will be
in Omaha dunne the auto show, ac
companie by J. W. Garside, auditor
for the same company.
The Omaha Motor Sales company
consists of good sound business men,
every one of them a live wire in his
deoartment and when all work to
gether they pull like a Sandow and
that is some pull.
Motor Car Essential in
Nebraska, Says Dort Man
"Here in Nebraska, above any part
of the United States, the passenger
car is regarded as essential," says
Joseph C. Gerspacher, distributor for
Dort cars. "Our cities are compara
tively near to each other and we have
a splendid system of improved high
ways to encourage motoring traffic
"The farmer, conservative and slow
to make up his mind, long ago de
cided that the passenger car has, mul
tiplied his opportunities by bringing
him closer to both his selling and pur
chasing markets, in addition to mak
ing life- happier for the members of
his household.
"As a public carrier, the automobile
has made great strides and has
even greater strides ahead of it.
. It must more and more be relied upon
as the logical means of short interur
ban traffic. As good road building
progresses the value of the automo
bile becomes apparent m this connec
tion. . ,
"The cry of today is for man power,
not only to subdue the Hun, but to
effectively back our boys in France
with telling support behind the lines.
Ansted Points Out Value
Of Auto in Peace and War
Frank B. Ansted, president of the
Lexington Motor Car company, drew
a striking picture in a recent inter
view at the plant in Connersville, Ind.
"Suppose for -the sake of argu
ment said Ansted, "that we imagine
this country without the automobile
and the many other adaptations of
the internal combustion engine.
"What a slowing up there would be
Immediately in the progress of every
single line of endeavor 1 Men in every
line would find that the working day
had been practically reduced in time
value to six hours or less. Every
phase of business usage and of health
giving recreation would be instantly
swept away. In their place would
come added hours of toil in attempt
ing to accomplish the same tasks
which set so lightly upon the efficient
man with an automobile who gets
about so quickly nowadays and thinks
3 he goes.
"Then go to the seat of war. With
out the automobile Paris would have
been in the hands of the Hun. Had
it not been for Galleani's timely ap
pearance with reserves brought up
by pressing every passenger car and
taxi into service, Pans would have
fallen at the battle of the Marne.
"Beauty-Power" Contained
In Oldsmobile Sportster
"One of the brilliant features of
the automobile show is the striking
rianner in which the Oldsmobile ex
ibit crystallizes their well known
ilogan, beauty-power," says J. R.
D'Neil. manager of the Nebraska
Oldsmobile company, local distribu
tors. "This is particularly true of
the smart roadster model, with its
long, slim lines, low hang and the
graceful angle at which the seats are
....
r "There is remarkable simplicity, ex
treme accessibility and sinuous
Strength in the 8-cylinder, S8-horse-power
engine, with its two-phase
Eower., This unusual power factor

quet of the 'car of double character.'
is it really gives two distinctly oppo
lite power phases, an idling pace and
i thrilling speed."
Auburn Sport Model One
; Of Unusually Snappy ttnes
; A new sport model of unusually
inappy lines is a feature of the Au
burn six exhibit of the Raapke Mo
tor comoanr at the automobile show,
The car has just been added to the
Auburn six line and is offered in two
khassis sizes.' One has a 43-horse-
fower engine and 120-inch wheel
ase, the other a 55-horsepower en
gine and 131-inch wheel base.

schemes are offered at the purchaser's
option. One is the ash gray which

roadster last season. The other two

snort model and are a rich maroon
body and wheels with black fenders

Chauffeurs Go to War So
Owners Drive Own Cars
War conditions are bringing back
the era of the owner-driver, according
to J. T. Stewart of the J. T. Stewart
Motor company.
"A very large number of chauffeurs
have entered the national military
service," says Mr. Stewart
"Many of these men enlisted, and
naturally a greater percentage was
drafted. Being men who were de
voted o outside callings, the majority
of them were in robust health,, and I
think it will be found that the per
centage who failed to pass the physi
cal examination is very small. Em
ployers have put no obstacles in the
way of the patriotism of these chauf
feurs. "In fact, actuated by the same mo
tives of patriotism, they have en
couraged their entrance into the serv
ice. "Many of these chauffeurs will con
tinue to drive motor vehicles in the
service of Uncle Sam. Some will drive
passenger cars. Many more will drive
trucks.
, "It is, in fact, a very fortunate
circumstance that the nation-wide
popularity of the automobile has made
available -so many skilled drivers.
There are certainly enough good pi
lots of motor cars to handle ade
quately all the vehicles that the
Treasurer.
United States government may use,
either abroad or in this country.
"The result is that many owners
are now reverting to their original
practices and are driving their own
cars."
Nash Cars Make Second
Appearance at Auto Show
One of the features of more than
usual Interest at the auto show this
week is the exhibit of the Nash Mo
tors company, displayed by Manager
T. H. McHearman of the Nash Sales
company, which includes the complete
line of Nash perfected valve-in-head
passenger cars, all of which have been
introduced to the buying public with
in the last six months.
At last year's show both trade and
buying public manifested great inter
est in the Nash exhibit because it was
the first time that an exhibit at a na
tional show bore the name of C W.
Nash. Much speculation as to the
probable policies of the new company
were indulged in and in the main
these surmises which prophesied a
complete line of higji grade sue cyl
inder cars embodying Nash ideals
have proved correct
The 1918 display includes a com
plete line of Nash passenger cars and
two new rear driven trucks, a one-ton
and a two-ton, which are offered as
truckmates of the famous Nash Quad,
which drives, brakes and steers on
all four wheels.
New Studebaker Models
Attract Wide Attention
One of the most successful firms
in the middle west is Studebaker
Wilson, Inc., distributors of Stude
baker cars and trucks. It is an in
corporation of the business of the E.
R. Wilson Auto company, pioneers
of the automobile industry in Omaha.
They are handling the Studebaker
line exclusively and have just closed
the largest year's business in their
history. In speaking of their line
E. R. Wilson says: "Never has any
announcement attracted greater at
tention probably than that of the
three new series 19 Studebaker mod
els, the light four, light six and big
six. At all national automobile shows
they were the sensation for the pub
lic and the big talk of the automo
bile trade.
"They represent a longer step for
ward in design, and a greater pur
chase value than probably any other
nr Tt ia 1mnf hrvnnn heltef that
such values, so many refinements and
features generally tound only on
cars costing hundreds of dollars more,
can be had on Studebakers at the lew
price maintained."
