Lininger Now Has
Retail Branch for
Omaha and Vicinity

The Lininger Implement company
has announced the establishment. of a
retail selling organization which will
handle its lines, the Oakland and
Kissell Kar, in Omaha Council Bluffs
and the territory Immediately ada
cent to the two cities.
The firm taking over the retail
agency is composed Of George Ding
man and w. T. Hause, both men
we'll versed in the automobile bus
mess and OF wide acquaintance in
automobile circles.
Hausc has been out Of the auto
mobile business for several years. but
was at one time distributor for a
well known line in Nebraska and
Iowa.
Dingpan has been closely asso-
ciated with the automobile row for
a number OF years, and bears the dis.
tinction OF being one of the best
posted, reliable men in the business.
The separation Of the retail bus
mess from the wholesale end Of the
Lininger business, according to w.
H. Head, is occasioned by the rapid
growth OF the Lininger Implement
company's automobile business. II
was considered necessary to efficient
handling of the business to establish
a retail agency in Omaha.

tible automobile body in the world

clamoring to get it. 1t answers for
the first time a demand which has
existed ever since the motor car be-
came a popular means OF conveyance.

cess it is simply that we build prod
uct which appeals to every automo-
bile owner in every section of the

mobile business.
Through recent purchase, Mrs.
Henry becomes the owner OF the
stock OF both Johnson and Danforth
in the Johnson Danforth company, a
large vehicle concern, doing business
at l529-33 North Sixteenth street. For
several years this company has been

future the business will be confined TO
motor vehicles, giving particular at
tention to the sale of the Smith Form
a-Truck and to night and day truck
service-something Omaha has had
need of for some time.
The offices and building are being
modernized and furnished in an up

resentativc OF the Smith Form-a-
Truck company of Chicago, has been

Allen Car Figures
! In Exacting Tests
At Washington, D. G,

In unique series of practical tests
recently made at Washington, D. C..
the ability Of the Allen in "hill-climb-
ing" "throttling down" and get
away was again emphasized. The
tests were made under average road
conditions, the Allen covering twenty
seven and two-tenths miles during
the fifty-fve minutes required with a
gasoline consumption Of one gallon,
two gills.
In the hill-climbing the car on a
start made at the foot Of an incline
quickly changed from low to high
gear and within twenty feet of the
bottom picked up to fifteen miles an
hour, which it maintained without
falter to the top Of the hill, with prac-
tically no pull" on the engine.
Three throttle-down tests were
made with the following success:
From sixteen to three miles an hour
in three seconds; from fourteen to
three and one-half miles an hour in
two and one-hfth seconds; from TWEEN
ty-four to two and one-half miles an
hour in three and four-hfths seconds.

Auto Business Is
Being Systematized

1.-THE day Of hit and miss methods
Of doing business for the automobile
man is nearly past" says c. w. Fran
els Of the c. w. Francis Auto Co.
"The last season has been such a
wonderful season for all manufac-
turers that nearly all OF them are
quite sound financially, and COMPETE
ton from now on will be very keen.
II will mean that manufacturers will
now direct every effort to economy
in manufacture and service to the
owners.
Even now the Maxwell factory is
preparing further for increased pro-
duction. This will mean economy
and concentration, the object being
to turn out quality product at a
low price by means Of gigantic pro-
duction methods.
In connection with this, an effort
is being made to impress dealers
with the importance of rendering eff
ficient service.
These indications make the
present day automobile man realize
that he must get his business down
to business basis and stop the leaks
He must systematic his work in
order to render efficient and better
service"

King Eight Explores New
Country In Southern Utah

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. Nv,
Fl. Carter and an eight-cylinder King
have explored the country in southern
Utah that gasoline-propelled vehicle
has never attempted before. It was
a trip fraught with dangers and many
times Mr.. Carter expected he would
have to abandon 1t.
South, through the Sink valley, Mr..
Carter pushed the King, and opened
a gasoline route from Alton to Kanab,
in this state. This brought him over
country which has one of the worst
roads in the universe. Sink valley is
one big mudhole and it takes real
horsepower to pull motor car
through such spot, Mr.. Carter
claims that it is one OF the greatest
spots in the United States for motor
car manufacturers to test out their
cars.
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.

WAR AND
YOUR TooTHBTtUsH

The humble toothbrush will be- come > luxury t the European war continues another year. unie-s peace is declared soon, fitty cents or even one dollar apiece may. be- come the price of the handmade toothbrush that has been selllng for twenty-five or thiEty-five cents, The brush towns" of France have been desolated by the german army They are in the valley of the oise. In those towns are the factories for sorting and bleaching the Rristles, piercing the bone handles and pre- paring them for the Rsasants to fill with bristles.
 1t is in the valley of theoise, too, mat the peasants who fasten tho bristles in our handmade tooth brushes live. All through that valley the red-tiled stone cot tag,a of the peasants sheltered girls and old women who made toothbrushes during every spare minute of the day. Twelve cents a dozen was the price paid for the work when the American importers went into the toothbrush business in France. They contracted for a large mart of the output of the French factories, snd raised the price paid to the bristle workers to fifteen or even eighteen cents a uozen.
 The price of good bristlez has doubled and trebIed since the Euro pean war broke out. All tooth brush bristles come from Russia and China. The best grades are the Russian, and the best of the Russian bristles grow D winter on Q sort of half-wild boar that is na- tive to the Russian steppes. The bears rub on the forest trees and shed their bristles. These the peasants collect at certain seasons of the year. Every hog that is slaughtered for food is carefully shorn of it's bristles. The bristles are seven or eight inches, long, and very thick at the base. Inferior bristIes used in Japanese brushes come from Chinna, where the win ters ale not SO cold and the bristles do not grow-so ssiff.
 Since fighting began in Europe the Russian people have been too poor to eat meat. And there is no time to save the bristles from hogs killed to seed the soldiers The Hebrew peddlres who went through the Russian country e2- changing tinwGr and household utilities with the peasants for these hristles have stopped thelr tr,ps. Good bristles cost ten dol lars al pound now, and they will 20 sun higher. - The Youths Companion. A...
