Run Ali Winter

In Omaha the automobile is no longer regarded IS some hot
house plant which might be injured If taken out in bad weather.
Automobiles are no longer stored away for the winter, but are used
all through the colder months. Some OF the larger machines have
double bodies, an open body for summer use and a limOistne body
for use in the winter. Some are provided with warming pans, which
keep the riders comfortable, and some of the new imoisines are
provided with inside lights for use at night
Thiry-one dealers are now doing business in Omaha, and more
are planning to enter the game as soon as they can find a location.
Good locations are at a premium and at present five new garages
are in the course Of construction. These are for the Standard Auto
mobile company, the Buick Automobile company. the MaxweiEBris-
coe Automobile company, the Sweet-Edwards Automobile company
an the Wallace Automobile company.
Plans are now incubating for an automobile show in Omaha In
the spring, Several meetings of the committee have been held and
it is planned to completely teorganize the association, that all the
dealers may be taken in. The problem with the committee is to
find room at the auditorium for all who want to display their ma
chimes. For the last two years this has been quite a task. but IL viii
be harder this time as there are so many more who win want space.
Last year the large stage was used by the accessory men, who filled
all the space. This year there are several more accessory men doing
bu3ness in Omaha than before.
The automobile show has come to be one Of the annual fixtures
in Omaha and IT brings many people from Nebraska and vest-

Show an Annual Fixture

For the country trade special automobiles have been made, with
plenty of clearance, that they may traverse the country roads which
have been worn to ruts. without injury to the vital parts of the ma
Chinese These will all be shown at the automobile show.
All the Omaha dealers have their 1910 cars and country dealers
need not wait for the show before finding out what is the latest in
the automobile world. Automobile row in Omaha will furnish all
the desired information. The trouble with the Omaha dealers is
that there is such a demand for their cars that they have a task to
keep a new car in stock to show prospective customers. One large
dealer has fifty-five cars sold for future delivery, for which he is
now waiting on the factories to deliver. Omaha dealers, however,
have learned how to get cars and travellers say they get more than
their quota. They have learned the value of buying early and pay
ing cash, with a clause that they must have the cars. This is what
is making Omaha the strong automobile market that it is. When
the new garages are completed on Farnam street there will be room
for few stores of other character than automobiles, as the dealers
will have most of the available space.
Former distrust in the exDediency of commercial vehicles has
been displaced by confidence in the trucks, and delivery wagons are
now being placed on the market When the machines we're first

Business Scarcely Begun

The automobile business has scarcely had its surface scratched.
1t costs manufacturers large sums of money to keep up with the
demands of the business, but when they see anything new that is
good they want it, no matter what the cost. The experimental days
in automobiing cost large sums of money, but experimental days are
over and aTs are being madeto meet the demands.
Omaha has kept up with the procession and Omaha owners
have had as good cars as have been made in this country. II. E.
Fredrickson had the first big car, and people thought he was foolish,
but It was a small affair beside the giant which Herman B. Peters,
proprietor of the Merchants. uses for himself and friendsS While
his car is practically new he has ordered another larger and with
more power for next year, striving to keep up with the best TIDE
country has to offer.
When the automobile first reached Omaha it was looked upon
as a luxury which only the rich could enjoy, but now it is a neces-
sty in many cases. Real estate dealers use these speedy machines
to whisk prospective buyers to suburban property, and several whole
sale houses in Omaha maintain automobiles with which they enter
tain their customers when they come to the market city.
All over the state automobiles are put to good use. The pro-
gressive farmer has found that the automobile is a great mOney-saver
for him to use in connection with his daily work. By means of
these he is able to save half a day in going to the neghborng town
and a half a day is often worth a good deal Of money TO a farmer.

tried there was a disappointment with the capacity of the machines
in respect to load and speed and with maintenance charges that Gre
ated a prejudice difficult to overcome. Every salesman knows that
it is far easier to interest a new customer than one who has previ-
ously bought and become dissatisfied.
A complete explanation of the causes of such a widespread con-
ditiOn of dissatisfaction is not al simple AS it might seem. The first
thought is that the early models were poorly built and could not
possibly meet the requirements and stand up to the work. While
this may be true in part, it does no. entirely meet the situation. In
the early days all sorts of artfcially decorated junk was sold under
the name of Commercial vehicle" Crude inventions, worked out
by wtld-eyed inventors, were marketed as being just the thing to
revoutionize commercial street traffic. The only wonder now is how
they managed to move along under their own power when empty and
still hold together. The builders of pleasure cars, seeing the enor-
nous profit in these cars, rushed into the market with a work body
on a pleasure chassis and Immediately rushed out again when he
saw that he could not deliver the goods.

trouble to the novice who tried to adjust his machine. w. r. Mo-
Keen. jr, president and general manager of the McKeen Motor Car
company, has perfected a carburStor for his motor car and has made
a small model which he has successfully tried out on his Apperson
that promises to remove all carburetor troubles.
The carburetor which Mr.. McKeen has perfected, and which
will be shown at the Omaha Automobile show, will do many things
for a car and its owner which will ada to the comfort and pleasure
of automobling. This carburetor has a downward feed instead of
an upward one and is not affected by Geld weather, so that the owner
does not have to get out in freezing weather and try to warm his car
buretor with a match.

MAHA is fast becoming the center of the automobile in
dustry of the west and dealers are doing a thriving bust
ness in all classes of machines. The number Of dealers
is increasing at such a rapid rate that it is a task to keep
track of the new ones as they appear with some new ma
chimes which have made a reputation in the east and which seem
ready to be introduced in the west.
Automobiles have done wonders toward making the streets of
Omaha more passable, and this season has seen many miles of new
pavemerts laid. to the great delight of car owners. While this city
had but one or two cars a dozen years ago, there are now zoo in
active use and most of them are cars of late make.
Great improvements art yearly made in automobiles, although
this is not so apparent to the novice, who simply sees them fit
by from the side of the street The general outline is changing but
little. but new schemes are being put into use which makes automo-
billing more pleasureable.
With the beginning of the 1910 automobile season the manu-
facturers have in many instances been compelled to greatly increase
their capacity for the production of cars, owing to the unprecedented
demand from all quarters which increasing prosperity of the country
has made almost a necessity. Twelve short years ago an automo-
bile was a good deal of a curiosity in the United States, there being
but a scant 1000 in use. Times have changed and the latest sta
tisucs show there are over 100000 in use in this country. Twenty
years from now horses may be used but little to haul the heavy
drays through the city streets.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-07
Knocking Out Obstacles

In the meanwhile the builder of commercial vehicles who knows
the needs of heavy haulers and who had an earnest desire to supply
these needs had a proper appreciation of these problems and sought
to meet the demands. All obstacles to progress are passing away
and business interests will soon be able to secure the machine which
will meet their needs.
While on the subject of new cars it might be we'll to mention an
Omaha invention which bids fair to revolutionize the automobile in
dusry. Everybody knows that the carburetor is one of the most

Iowa to see what is new in the automobile world. 1t is no longer
necessary for a country dealer to go to the New York or Chicago
shows to learn what is new. He may learn all he wants to know at
the Omaha show, where all the manufacturers have learned that it
is to their advantage to send their new parts and new chassis and
machines. The west will have nothing but the best and manufac-
lurers have learned this. @gsrs

That Jimmy Austin has not forgotten his

Omaha some shoe strings and bats for
Graham. WEIGH and Gonding.
This does not sound so great, but when
the details are known it sounds better TO
the fans. Austin knows just the kind of
bats these sluggers of the Omaha team
like and he has made them some to their
liking with his own hands. Austin is
spending the winter working In a shin
building yard in Cleveland. Here he has a
lathe, and with this he has turned out
some bats which he says he knows are
full of base hits.
