When eonmderation ia given to the

Paige 646 Is Third .
in Quality Market
Recent records show that the
rigf has attained third pdQion
among rar that occupy the "ouahiy'
field. The 6 -6 line ha won this
h gh place in the market where can

cupying their place high among the
lealer for number of year.
"There are tome 43 well-known
companies offering cart luting for
ccr K.0O0." say Harry M. Jewett.
president of the Paige-Detroit Motor
Car company. "Taking raige 6-66
sale alone and comparing them, we

famous makri with 20 years' prestige
behind them; and the one that
crowded u out of second place in the

not hundred.
"So market it more desirable than
the quality market. None is more
difficult to secure. Sales in this
market depend on prestige and pres
tige it believed to be a matter of 10
or 20 year growth. A we have
been offering in the class above
$2,000 for only little more than a
year, we are particularly 'gratified
with the record the 6-66 line it mak
ing and the prompt manner in which
it ha firmly entrenched itself in the
quality market of America."

l . ' ':
Growth of This Business in
;Five Years One of Features
of Automobile Industry. '
.. Automobile manufacturers tare
agreed that the tremendous increase
, in- proportion of closed cars made
since 1916 has been one of the out
Standing features of the automotive
business during that period. In that
(year, 1.5 per cent of all motor cars
made in the United States was closed
cars. This proportion has risen rap
idly each year since, reaching S5
per cent in 1921, and is still grow
. ine at a phenomenal rate. - -
,'.The Hudson Motor Car company,
.always among the leaders in. pro
portion of closed car sales, due, to
its pioneering in this line, probably
taps all manufacturers today, its of
ficers say. Fifty-five percent of its
entire output since January 1 has
been closed cars, it announces.
1 , Think Essex It Second.
'J- Essex; Motors is believed to be in
second place in this respect. Slightly
wore than half of the Essex ouptut
since the year started has been in
cat of this type..
i Both companies state that the pro
portion of this business is contiuing
at approximately the same rate, even
with summer at hand. In fact, it is
quite certain, they declare, that
when production totals for May are
compiled, it. will be found that the
Closed car business for that month
was even higher than the yearly av
erage to date. Jt is believed that
each company's proportion will
mount even higher during the re
mainder of the year, since closed
car business is always heavy ,in the
fall. 4 ;
' ,i Coach Type Helped.
: In 1921 31 per cent of Hudson's
entire manufacture and 19 per cent
of the Essex output was in closed
tars. Decision to build the new
coach type and the ability of each
concern through volume sales to of
ler this model at but little more than
an open cir price, are generally ac
cepted as the reasons for the remark
able gain each has made. Orders
' for these types continue to pour into
the factory in undiminished number,
it-is reported.
. ' The great demand for dlosed cars
has. however, curtailed production
for all manufacturers and has resulted
in makinar the country-wide shortage
of both Hudson and Essex cars even
,more acute, the companies announce.
This is so because of the greater time
necessary to produce - closed . car
bodies. Hudson and Essex have
thousands of unfilled orders on their
books today, the company's state
ment reads.
two Trainloads of Overland
Jx- Autos, Ordered for Omaha
Two trainloads of Overland and
Willys-Knight automobiles have been
ordered for the Omaha territory
alone, according to F. H. Wight,
local retail sales manager, who re
cently returned from a sales conven
tion at the Willys Overland factory
in Toledo.' '
"ot only Omaha, but the entire
United States has been calling for
more Overlands and Willys-Knight
cars." said Mr. Wight "It is easy
to see where the 700-car daily out
put of the Toledo factory is going.
We feel grateful, in view of this large
demand, for the allotment of several
jearloaqV to- be .shipped immediately
to Omaaa to help care for the large
cumber of orders bow on hand." t i
Announcement wat made yester
day that Carl Changstrom of the
Changstrom Motor company had
taken on the Velie line in connection
with the Westcott. Changstrom has
handled the Westcott for several
years and feels that the new Velie
line will give him a variety which will
satisfy the demands of most motor
ists who are seeking a dependable
car at a moderate price.
This year the Velie factory ts con
centrating its efforts in the building
of one model. Heretofore the Velie
factory has built cars ranging from
small to heavy.
1 he new Velie model ts very snap'
py, both from appearance and per
formance standpoint It is equipped
with an overhead valve motor built
in the Velie factory. In addition to
being a very peppy . motor, it is
probably as accessible as any motor
built, and the designers claim that it
will stand up under the most strenu
ous driving. The lines of the new
car are graceful in every respect and,
although the machine is roomy it has
the appearance of being small with
a low center of gravity.
The? price of the new Velie touring
car is $1,395, factory, which makes
the delivery price approximately
$1,495 delivered in Omaha. The en
closed models are slightly higher in
price. : - .
Cadillac Sales Exceed
Those of Last Year
"On May 20 we had received from
the factory and delivered for the
year of 1922, as many Cadillac cars
as we did in the entire year of
1921." said I. H. Hansen of the
H. Hansen Cadillac company if
Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City. "A
letter which I received this week
from Mr. H. H. Rice, president of
the Cadillac Motor Car company,
said Cadillac sales for the current
year up to May 1 were two and a
half times the volume for the cor
responding period of last year and
that March and April were two of
the largest selling months Cadillac
ever experienced.
Sales each month since the new
type 61 was announced have steadily
increased. The new Cadillac plant
has made possible this large produc
tion. The company feels that the
type 61, from the standpoint of style,
comfort and mechanical . excellence,
is the most successful type in its
history.
The forecast for the balance of
the current year indicates that Cadil
lac sales from our Omaha. Lincoln
and .Sioux City offices will, exceed
11 previous records of our conv
pany, concluded Mr. Hansen.
(Adoption of a system of uniform
highway marking throughout New
England is to be undertaken this
season, and it is expected that the
plan will be, extended to cover the
whole Unued states. It will dis
place the present varied1 system of
color bands and other signs in the
different states, so that the motorists
traveling through a number of states
will not be confused in keeping to
the right road. .
