One thing seems certain In the local fight

ALL DEALERS HAVE NEWCARS
Demonstrators Are Kept Busy Show

BUSY WEEK ON AUTO ROW
Visitors Are Ready Buyers and
Dealers Enjoy a Busy Week
During the Carnival of
Last Ten Days.

Omaha dealers In automobiles are up-to-
the-minute in securing cars and there is
not 8 dealer along the entire automobile
row NFho has not a full line OF 1910 cars.
AS soon as the manufacturers had their
next years cars designed Omaha dealers
had In their orders and as soon as the
cars were ready for shipment Omaha deal
ers had in the orders and received con-
signments as early as any dealers in the
entire country Travellers are amazed at
the splendid assortment Of new cars which
are seen on the streets Of Omaha.
When President Taft visited Omaha a
score Of automobiles were needed to trans
bort him and his party around the city.
Not a car was used except It was a next
years model and the procession was surely
an Imposing one with It's fine array OF most
modern benzine buggies. During the en-
tire hurried trip not an accident OF any
kind happened 20 mar the perfection OF
the arrangements. Nor was the parade
. slow one. While c. H. Plckens, presi-
lent OF the board Of governors, urged Otto
Eestman, the presidential chauffeur for
the day. to drive more slowly, Captain
butt. the presidential aide, kept urging
him 60 go faster. The result was that
some fast spurts were made on parts OF
the run.
More and more each year the Impor-
lance OF Omaha as An automobile jobbIng
center Is becoming apparent. The boun-
teous crops OF the farm are giving thou
sands OF residents OF the farm and smaller
towns plenty OF funds with which 70 buy
automobiles and they are coming TO Omaha
to buy them. They have long since found
that Il is much more convenient to buy
from a dealer who is near at hand and
who may quickly provide any needed re-
pairs.
Many dealers In Omaha make little ef-
fort to sell to the city trade, having cars
especially constructed for , the country
roads. These have more clearances than
most TOWN cars because they are built 10
nun ovtr country roads which are often
WASHED and worn by wear.
4mplsment dealers ia Omaha were forced
by the necessity OF things 20 break into
the game. There are thirty
TWO OF these houses and most OF them
JOB automobiles, This makes Omaha by
tar the biggest jobblng center west OF
chicago. Tn umber Of machines some
OF these dealers sell Is something enor-
nous. II was learned that one dealer
sold over 200 cars OF one make last wear
and then was not able TO hold the agency
90 the car which was given to another
firm.
Al present there are over 600
IN use In Omaha, and the number a in.

local dealers selling cars II Is natural the
number should increase fast. With his

with other Omahans to get the next legis-
lature TO modify the existing situation.

Publication of figures showing the best
values of real estate for various purposes
in Omaha has caused a discussion as TO
what the limit really is on good corners in
the retail district. An estimate that will
be fairly accurate is hard to make for the
reason that values are partly speculative,
partly competitive and to some extent de-
pendent on Just what the buyer has in
view when he buys the lot.
The limit OF $500 a front foot for the
best corners in the retail district is too
low" said a real estate man. II nave in
mind one corner lot with a frontage of
sixty-two feet for which sS25, 900 was re-
fused. This is almost 5000 a front foot
and the property could not be touched to-
day for that amount. l know Of other in
stances in which property owners nave de-
