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.

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.
This remarkable performance was
made by "Shrimp" Burns, who won
the 15-mile event against a field of
eight valves at Beverly Hills speed
way, Los Angeles, on April 24. Burns
covered the distance in 8 minutes, 46
3-5 seconds.
Burns also won the miss and out
race, distance 13-3-4 miles, time 7 min
utes, 51 4-5 seconds, average 104.91
miles an hour. In this event Burns
established the fastest time ever
made on the new Beverly Hills
speedway in competition.
In tlie 25-mile event Burns spilled
in the eleventh, lap while leading the
field. His average in this race, up to
the time of his accident, was 106
miles an hour. His accident neces
sitated his going to the hospital, but
he returned to the track, entered the
15-mile event and established a
world's record for a stock motor in
competition.
, Official report credits Burns and
his Indian with the most spectacular
display of speed and riding ability
ever displayed in California.

Wide Opportunity in
Inter-City Hauling
"Thousands of young men are tak

of entering the transportation of
freight to points within a radius of
150 and 200 miles," asserts O. A.

"The railroads in the country have
admitted frankly that the motor
truck is a superior as well as a

this particular field. It eliminates
hauling to and from warehouses be

and enables merchants to ship with

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."

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.
