THE BEE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1118.
BEE MILK FUND
IS CLOSED WITH
$42 DONATION
: M. k Bunnell Barely Gets
Under Wire With Largest
Single Donation Made
to the Fund.
i
The Bee's Milk and Ice Fond was
fittingly closed with the largest in
dividual donation made to it, which
barely got in under the wire, when
M. B. Bunnell telephoned from the
Wellington hotel Tuesday afternoon
and asked the privilege of giving
something to the babies.
Mr.Bunnell, who recently sold a big
ranch in Custec county, and has been
living at the Wellington while waiting
for cool enough weather to start on
an auto trip to Wyoming, would not
say much when asked about his do
nation, except that he had made a
little deal for the benefit of the fund
and wanted to give $42 if he might
be permitted to do io.
It had been on his mind for some
time, Mr. Bunnell stated, to make a
donation, but he had neglected it. He
felt that the fund is a charity of real
merit.
'I know how hard it is for us
here," he said, "surrounded by every
possible comfort, to stand this hot
summer weather, and I can under
stand how terribly hard it must be
. for the babies in the crowded homes,
without ice and without proper food.
I will be very glad if you will take
this little sum and use it for the
babies of Omaha."
a .And The Bee is very glad to take
it for the youngsters who need it and
to see that it goes where it will bring
happiness and health.
- Thus is the total of the fund $852.43
on the date of its close.

Don't Buy Any Car Until
You See The New Briscoe
You may be considering a high priced car with its ab
sence of gasoline economy, with its high upkeep cost
and with its proportionate expense for tires.
Or you may be considering the purchase of a car at or under $1,000.
In either case, don't purchase until you have gone over the Briscoe, for though smaller
than the higher priced car, it seats five people comfortably and will give you all-the
speed that you wish with its Half Million Dollar Motor, and will cost you an insignificant
per cent of the operating cost of the higher priced car.
In addition, tires and gasoline cost with the Briscoe is exceedingly low. And then
too, the Briscoe lines are the only motor car lines that coincide with 1918 styles.
So come see the Briscoe before you make your selection. That is the way to guaran
tee your satisfaction in whatever car you buy.
We are prepared to make deliveries and continue to do so. .
