1 8 B THE BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1921. Aulo Factories Working Nearer Full Capacity Omaha Dealer, Back From Trip, Says Money Situation Relieved in East Capital Secured Easily. C. G. Powell of the Powell Supply company returned Friday from a two-weeks' eastern trip and has brought hack with him the enthusi asm and confidence which is already evident in the east and is spreading westward at a rapid rate. I'owcll visited most of the repre sentative automotive manufacturers in Chicago, Cleveland. New York, riiilaredphia, and several Connecti cut manufacturing centers. In all of these cities manufacturers arc work ing much nearer 100 per cent capac ity than they have at any time dur ing the last year. Nearly all the factories which are manufacturing parts for automobiles are receiving daily requests for im mediate delivery. Parts manufactur ers connected with the automobile industry classify their business in two divisions. A division for manufactur ers and a division for replacements. The replacement field represents the jobbers of accessories. One factory in Philadelphia, which Mr. Powell visited, was working three eight-hour shifts each day and was still behind in orders. Numerous New York manufacturers are laying elaborate plans for expansion and have already broken ground for new buildings. Mr. Powell asserts that money is easier throughout thecast and ni New York, City it is comparatively easy to secure capital for almost any legitimate use. The New York fi nanciers are confident that the money situation in the central west and throughout the south will case ma terially in the fall. Further reductions in material prices will' depend almost entirely upon the attitude of labor. As soon as tlie laboring element is wiling to accept its loss and a correspondingly lower wage, then it will be possible for manufacturers to make further, reduction in their costs. According to Mr. Powell thousands of laborers connected with the building indus try in Chicago are lying idle rather than to accept a reduced wage scale.

Bet ter come in TODAYr OPEN SUNDAYS Nebraska Jordan, With Finish, to The first of the Jordan automo biles finished in Crane simplex gray is expected here within the next few days and will be one of the novel features of the season. After 15,000 miles of winter driving Mr. Jordan, head of the Jordan Motor Car com pany, pronounced this finish abso lutely unharmed. Water and a sponge brought back the original finish. There was no varnish check ing, nor were any of the mud stains visible. This finish will cost about one third of the ordinary paint job and is considered the most serviceable fin ish yet put on the market. Although it is a dull finish, most motor critics believe that it will be readily accept ed by the fastidious motorists. 102 Mil es an Hour . On Stock Motorcycle The first time in the history of motorcycling a stock machine has accomplished better than 100- miles an hour in competition.

Sundays Auto Dealer Should Co-Operate With Buyer "A dollar properly spent for an automobile 'goes farther' than a dol lar $pent in any other manner, ex cepting a railroad ticket," says Guy L. Smith. "As a matter fact, the man who buys an automobile is buying miles rather than a piece of personal prop erty. He measures the satisfaction he gets out of the transaction by the number of miles lie can run the car, hence that car owner who gets the most' service from his automobile is making his dollars go the farthest. "This fact is becoming apparent to automobile owners to the extent that they very carefully analyze the abil ity of the dealer to assume responsi bility for the performance of the car he sells." fro Sg Or i't 0 K 1 ft ewmSb.m Emhm mum- - The day of motor truck experiments is a thing of the past, and you have to investi gate but little to find those trucks which have stood the test of service and stability.

The rMost "Beautiful Car in The Car With 100 Hill Climbing Records On January 21st the Paige "Daytona" Model 6-66 won the world's stock chassis record for speed by traveling at a rate of 102.8 miles per hour. Since that time 6-66 models have invited every test of speed and endurance that could prove the metal of a red champion. . At one hundred points in the nation these mighty cars have tackled the best local hill -climbing records and surpassed them with ease. And in each case the tests have been conducted by unprofes sional drivers in standard models that any man can buy. It is not necessary to explain or amplify such consistent success in the field of sport. The records speak for themselves in the most positive terms. They affirm that, irrespective of price or piston displacement, the Paige .6-66 is the leader of all American sporting cars. If you believe that championship form is the best guarantee of all 'round efficiency, then you must believe in the Paige. - If you believe in demonstrated performance on road, hill and track, the 6-66 with its exclusive power plant must inevitably be the car. of your choice.
