P. L. Emerson Gives Compre
hensive Talk to Dealers; Ex
plains Means of Combating
Freight Car Shortage.
The dealers of the Nebraska Olds
mobile company organization were
guests of Charles A. Tucker last eve
ning at a dinner at the Fontenelle
hotel.
The Nebraska Oldsmobile company
has probably made the most phe
nomenal growth of any Nebraska
automobile organization. This com
pany was organized one year ago and
since that time, due to the efforts of
Charles A. Tucker, has built up a
dealer organization 125 strong. This
organization, as young as it is, holds
second place in number of cars sold
for the Olds factory.
Emerson Is Spokesman.
Among the guests at the dinner
were P. L. Emerson, general sales
manager of the Oldsmobile factory;
A L. Bergsiem, district representa
tive for the factory; J. R. O'Neal,
manager of the Omaha branch, and
R. A. Harvey, a member of the firm.
Mr. Emerson was the spokesman of
the evening and gave a very compre
hensive talk regarding the Oldsmobile
Factory and the advances made bv it.
One year and a half ago the Olds
mobile factory was regarded as the
smallest unit of the General Motors
company organization and in that
short space of time it has been
brought up to second place. Recently
two large buildings have been con
structed, which gives the present site
just double the floor space and ca
pacity. Just Like Gold Bond.
The remarkableness of the progress
made by the Oldsmobile company is
very evident from its achievements.
Mr. Emerson regards the Oldsmobile
franchise as nothing short of a gold
bond contract. They have made
faster strides in putting production
through on a large scale than any
other General Motors company unit.
Innumerable obstacles have been
overcome in getting equipment for
shipping cars to dealers. In order to
get cars to dealers and avoid delays
the Oldsmobile factory has in some
cases sent out its own crews to
shovel snow from roads enroute to
Chicago, Grand Rapids, Michigan
City and Detroit
No Expense Spared.
Mr. Emerson said they had spared
no expense to help the dealers over
come the freight equipment problem.
"The past month's business and the
, business done at the Omaha Auto
show," asserts Mr. Emerson, "has ex
ceeded their wildest expectations.

the society will be out en mass to

Auto show visitors yesterday after
noon when the fire department was
called to Fifteenth and, Howard
streets. A truck in front of the
Auditorium on fire, resulted in an
alarm being sent in that the building
was burning. A large part of the
motor driven apparatus responded.
The fire was easily 'extinguished.

Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bush

is 400,000,000 Bushels. To secure this she
must have assistance. She has the land, but
needs the men. The Government of the United
States wants every man who can effectively
help to do farm work this year. It wants the
land in the United States developed first,
of course; but it also wants to help Canada.
Whenever we find a man we can spare to
Canada's fields after ours are supplied, we
want to direct him there. Apply to our Em
ployment Service, and we will tell where
you can best serve the combined interests.
Western Canada's help will be required not
later than April 5th. Wages to competent
help, $50 a month and up, board and lodg

get a warm welcome, good wages, good board
and find comfortable homes. They will get a
rate of one cent a mile from Canadian boun
