New Inter-City Speed
Record Made for Texas

P. w. Gibbs, driving a Maxwell car
equipped with United States Chain
Tread tires, recently established a
new intercity speed record for Texas.
He covered the distance OF 800 miles
between Dallas and San Antonio in
seven hours and thirty-seven minutes
at an approximate rates of forty miles
an hour.
Because OF the stony condition Of
the roads Gibbs declared that the run
was the most severe trial for tires he
has ever experienced. Since this
Texas demonstration OF the durability
Of Chain Tread tires he has decided to
use them exclusively in his future
runs.

june EXPECTED TO
Be RECORD MONTH
Business Hesitation Replaced
by a Return to Normal
Conditions, Auto Head
Says.

In the opinion of c. B. Noorhs, the
general sales manager Of the Nasl Mo-
tors company, the present month OF
June is likely to be the biggest period
in the point of motor car sales that
this country has seen for long time.
Il back my belief along these lines,
says Mr.. Noorhs, "on two grounds.
First. the period OF business hesita-
tstion in this country which inevi-
tably followed the declaration of war
has been replaced almost universally
by a'return to normal conditions. The
public il come TO realize that this
hesitation was for the most part pure
ly mental and that in the light OF the
billions Of dollars which arc to be ex-
pended through our various channels
OF trade, both by our own govern
mcnt and by our allies abroad, the fu-
lure of business cannot be anything
but prosperous.
April and May Dulled.
Tn the second place the months OF
April and May were dulled on the
point of automobile sales because Of
the inclement weather which prevailed
pretty generally all over the United
States. Unquestionably this condition
played strong part in slowing up
motor car sales.
while it is true that prevailing
prices of raw materials have forced
many manufacturers of automobiles
TO raise their prices, nevertheless
there are number OF companies who
are offering exceptionally big value
for the money now under the present
conditions.
Like other manufacturers who pur-
chased their materials far in advance
we have not been forced as yet to
raise the price Of the Jcffery 67l,
which was set last year. The Jeffery
Six would cost $50 TO 5000 more il
the cost were based ON the present
market prices Of raw materials"

Crop Prospects Great
For Nebraska Farmers

The Northwestern railroad COM
pany's crop. report for the week end
ing Friday night indicates that with
the Nebraska farmers the outlook has
never been more promising than now.
Everywhere along the Nebraska
lines the soil is in perfect condition
and the corn making a wonderful
growth. Small grain is making good,
is beginning TO head and will be
ready~for cutting within the next two
weeks. The first cutting Of alfalfa is
in the stack and the yield has been un-
usually large.

the other day in the case Of William
Barber VS.. the REQ Motor Car COM
pany, in which the jurist exhonerated
the big Lansing manufacturer of the
charge of infringing Barber's patent
on a valve mechanism.
This was the case in which the pa
tentee sought to recover the sum OF
$l,500,000 from the motor car manu-
facturer for alleged infringement Of
the patent.
In the preliminary skirmish, de-
cision adverse to the manufacturer
was handed down--due largely TO the

Barber patent and the we'll known
REQ mechanism-whicf, by the way
is itself of ancient origin-failed TO
treat the matter seriously.
Barber then attempted to have the
REQ Company enjoined by an in
junction, from continuing the manu-
facture of their motors. This in
junction was denied.
When the New York case finally
came to trial, the REQ company in
troduced additional evidence with the
result as above Indicated decision
to the effect that the REQ valve
mechanism does not. either in design
or in application, infringe the Barber
patent.

Further evidence of Studebaker de-
pendability is shown by the popularity Of
Studebakercars in California, where peo-
pie test and prove their cars by continu-
Gus service every day in the year and
where there are more Studebakers regis
tered than any Car selling at over $500.
In Detroit where 500 Of all cars are
made, where thousands of people are di-
rectly connected with the industry, where
they know the materials and workman
ship that 60 into cars and the organiza-
tions behind them there are more Stude-
bakers registered than any other Car SELL
ing at over $500.
The foregoing is proof that people who
know cars from service rendered and peo-
pie best equipped to judge automobile
values prefer Studebakers.
There could be no better guide than
this for you in purchasing your car.
More than 100000 Studebaker cars in
every part of the world have made good
in the hands of their owners-as yours
will make good for you.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-24

The sturdy quality, the splendid value,
the proven dependability and durability
Of the present models will be continued.
Studebaker daily sales continue to
show that the public is quick to recognize,
and always to give its support to an hon
est, we'll made product, the value and SER
vice of which have been proven in actual
performance. "a
Their power, their easy riding features,
their freedom from trouble have made
Studebaker cars leaders in every part of
the country where automobiles are sub
jected to the hardest use. q. =
The most recent proof of their durabil-
ity is the performance of two Studebaker
cars taken directly from dealers stock
on the trip of the San Francisco Ad Club
to the recent St. Louis convention,
Both these Studebaker cars came over
the snow filled passes of the Rocky noun
tains, through seas of hub-deep gumbo
mud on the Western Plains and finished
in perfect running condition.
