Omaha Liberty Auto Co.
Moves Into Larges Rooms
"Business hat been good with the
Omaha Liberty Auto company." ac
cording to William McCulhim, man
ager. "In spite of the adverse con
ditions which Save confronted the
automobile men during the past few
months, it has been necessary for us
to seek larger quarters.
"We have just moved front 1914
Douglas street to 2054 Farnam
street. Our new location has sev
eral tunes the floor spact afforded
by the old location. Both our sale
and service floor in the new location
are large enough to accommodate
our present business. In our new
location, it will be possible, to show
a complete line of Liberty models
and to properly handle, service
work."
The highest priced automobile 20
years ago was the "Victoria" type,
selling front $2,700 to V-200.
A Useful Block.
A very useful bit of equipment in
the home garage is a heavy Mock
if cast iron. A good sit for this
t :ec of metal is eight inches square
by four inches deep. Have your
local carpenter make a pattern block
in wood and then send it to the
nearest foundry and have a casting
made. If one fare and edge of the
block is planed up it will make the
device more useful still, as the twe
surfaces enable either rough or fine
work to be handled.

Light Delivery Truck
Best in Bad Weather,
Says Retail Manager
"An investment in a light delivery
car. or truck pays dividends all the
;eaf 'round, says A. W. Cook,
Chevrolet retail store manager.
' "Modern commercial cars oper
ate as well in winter as in summrr.
They are mechanically dependable.
They are equipped-to meet all con
ditions. In fact, severe weather
especially demonstrates the impor
tanc; of their utility and conven
ience. - - ... . -
"When other lines of transpor
tation are tied up, the ton truck and
..!:very car can pic' their way.
Their route is not limited by stec!
rails. They do no depend on ex
posed w ires for their power.
"When horses slip,' become ex
hausted and lose valuable time, the
motor truck goes sately and secure
ly to its destination. It never gets
tired. I
"When other conveyances fail it
ran be depended upon to make de
liveries, to get perishable goods
quickly to market, to bring in
supplies.
"In bitter cold and storm cus
tomers find it a distinct advantage
to deal with a merchant who can J
deliver to their very doors. This
binds their good will to him. . And
the public especially appreciates a
transportation system that insures
the supply of farm products on
whirh they can drpend.
"Futhermore a truck affords pro
tection to goods in transportation.
Jt goes direct from sources to des
tination and goods are not exposed
in handling.
" U n i nterrupted transportation
means uninterrupted business and
profits. An investment iruan tliA
cient, well equipped light delivery
car or truck, therefore, insures prof
itable return twelve months in the
year."

culine aide of the family. The woman of today, in her own

turning to the motor car as a means toward the more efficient
conduct of her a&aira.
The-trend of feminine thought in this direction finds definite
expression fa the increasingly large number of Paige Light Sixes
