/ am longing for my home way down

Where I sat and dreamed beneath

And the Dixie Girl | left behind me

On that Day of Days in the sunny

In my Southland where the honey

Where the fair magnolia spreads its

Where the plantation fields are gleam-

In the evening when you hear the

AS they gently strum their banjos

On that Day of Days in the sunny

am going back, there soon to see my

And I'll see my darling sweetheart

For I'm dreaming of my home way

On this Day of Days in the sunny

When think of happy days we spent

OF the happy days that ended all too

In those sunny days of sugar-cane and

With the lovely orange bushes in

While the mocking bird is singing in

George REIN, president of the Cad

ant, L. w. Nygard, and the vice pres
ident and treasurer of the company,
%Albert Schantz, who is also president
OF the State Bank Of Omaha, have re-
turned from ten-day trip to De-

Their trip combined pleasure with
business. Going from here to Chi
Iseago they set sail there on the steam
4ship "Northland" for Detroit. They
errived at that great automobile town
I'm three days.
Then they spent about one week at
the Cadillac factory, rejoicing over
&the size of last years business and
booking with equal joy upon bright
prospect Of still greater business in
Cadillacs the coming year.
AA~"The business in the Omaha terri
tory showed an increase of 81 per cent
over the previous year." said Mr..
REIN. And we are scheduled accord
ing to all signs for an increase OF 40
per cent the coming year.
This territory, handled through the
Cadillac company of Omaha, con-
sists of all Nebraska lying north Of
the Platte river and the twelve coun-
ties adjoining the Missouri river in
Iowa.
THE great Cadillac factory in De-
troit has increased its capacity 40 per

Packard Passenger
Truck Popular On
Arizona Stage Road

The motor stage road from Phoe-
nix, Ariz., to Globe by the way Of
Tempe, Mesa, Fish Creek, Roosevelt
dam and Miami rises from 4 few feet
above sea level to an altitude Of near
ly 1000 feet. The distance from
Phoenix to Globe is 1876 miles. The
temperature at this time OF the year
averages well over 100 degrees Fair,
enheit in the shade.
Every day, rain or shine--and it's
mostly shine-the Twin Six Packard
owned by H. G. Griswold, ex-soldier
of fortune and globe trotter, carrying
eight and sometimes nine passengers
and their luggage, makes this trip.
And if it fails to do the trick in nine
hours, the passengers get a percent
age of their money back-just as on
the extra fair railroad trains.
William R. McCulla, Packard air
craft motor engineer, returned recent
ly from a trip through New Mexico
and Arizona. He stayed week in
Phoenix and Globe and on the road
between these places.
"Griswold's stage car has a, ually
created sensation in Arizona" said
he. Passengers have changed our
slogan to suit their own experiences
and their way of talking to Ask the
man who rode one and the phrase
used by travelling salesman, The
desert Pullman also has stuck.
THE line is licensed by the state
as common carrier and is regulated
under the state laws. Its record for
six weeks is 5000 miles and the cars
tires are holding up exactly twice as
long as tires on other cars used in
stage service, that have the same size
wheels as the Packard. Griswold is
planning to have a new Twin Six
made with a special stage body, so
that he can carry four more passen-
gers than he now does. He is con-
fdent that the car will easily handle
the additional load"
McCulla's trip through the south
west was for the purpose of research
and investigation from both engineer
ing and sales standpoints. He also
stopped at New Orleans. He said that
Louisiana is doing some splendid road
work and that work has been started
on a wonderful highway along the
coast Of the Gulf Of Mexico.

Last year, and this year to an even

ITO give the public an adequate idea
Of the vast scope of our business we
have reduced some of the facts con-

For example, it is interesting to
know that if all the fabric used by

long. -"..-...
Similarly, last year our company

NATIONAL TOURING
WEEK NEXT MONTH
Widespread Movement to Pro-
mote Auto Trips Over High
ways Of Country.
ENDORSED BY OFFICIALS

A. G. Seiberling, general manager
Of the Haynes Automobile company,
endorses the widespread movement
on foot to make the week Of August
6 to 10 national touring week.
Automobile touring has never gain
ed the popularity in this country that
it deserves. The principal reason
doubtless is that up to within very re-
cent years the roads in the rural
districts have not been such as to In
duce motorists to venture far beyond
city boundaries.
Today, however, one may find good
roads almost everywhere. There has
been commendable activity on the
part of highway commissions in near
ly every state in the union, with the
result that the tourists may be rea-
sonably safe in venturing forth in
any direction.
Touring Fine Sport.
Given a good Car, good roads and
congenial company, there is nothing
in the way of pleasure that surpasses
automobile touring. 1t affords OPP
portunities for visiting interesting
places that otherwise are not likely
to be reached, and it represents ex-
cellent possibilities for seeing the
country at its best.
There are in every state many
places of historical or romantic in
terest; many beauty spots, and many
districts that possess scenic magnifi-
cence. 1t is possible for the automo-
bile tourist, no matter where he may
live, to select a route that will lead
him in few hours to some place that
nature has made splendid or that
man has made memorable.
The selection of the week Of At
gust E to II for this national touring
festival is fortunate. The weather at
this time is likely to be good, and
it is a time, too, when a great ma
jority of the people are ready tor
the annual vacation.
10 MAKE II annual.
Automobile dealers, automobile
clubs and newspapers throughout the
country are falling in with the ma
tional touring week idea, and it is
very likely to become an annual
event.
Everyone who owns 4 car, and can
arrange to be one of the many who
will take advantage Of the pleasures
which touring week offers, should
plan to do so. 1t will be beneficial
in a thousand ways.
The movement deserves the en-
thusiastic support of all who arc in
terested in motoring.
Vacation Trips.
Great interest among car owners
in the national touring week is re-
ported by Kissel Kar dealers. The
novel occasion promises to not only
develop a great number Of short va
cation trips, but also greatly to in
crease transcontinental motoring.
Advocates of the wide open car in
summer will obtain many enthusiastic
converts national touring week. 1t
will then be brought more convinc-
ingly to mind than ever that the top
down movement" is based on COM
mon sense.

Dealer Burns Up Road
Behind Biz Standard Six

An Overland dealer at Wiscasset,
Ne, writes the home factory in To-
ledo, narrating brush he had recent
ly in a new series model 75-B with
q high-powered six. For twei1ty-eight
miles the model 75-B kept its nose
right behind the big six, up hill and
down dale, at an average speed of
forty-five to fifty miles per hour, and
then flashed past the big car just as
it reached its destination.
