LININGER TAKES
OYER THE MAXWELL
G. w. Francis Sells Line to De-
vote His Entire Time to
the Truck Bust

One of the largest transactions in
the Omaha motor car circle took
place during the later part of last
week and it is rumored that $l4S,00O
changed hands Saturday afternoon
when the Lininger Implement COM
pany closed a deal for the Maxwell
distributing agency, part of which
was controlled by the &. w Francis
Auto company.
The Liningcr Implement company
will control the territory in Nebraska
north OF the Platte river, the west
quarter of the state of Iowa and
about one-fifth of South Dakota.
The contract between the Maxwell
Motors company, incorporated, of De-
troit and the Lininger Implement
company involves the sale of $3,000,-
600 worth OF automobiles and is one
of the largest, if not the largest, ever
written with an Omaha distributor.
In speaking Of the transaction c.

One of the members of the Haar-

Ford car from Twenty-fourth and
Farnam streets through the business
district to Florence and return, max
ing a total mileage of thirteen and
eight-tenths. The fuel consumption
was five piuts. This, considering the
cost of the fuel (half kerosene and
half gasolinc), makes not only an ex-
cellent showing from a mileage stand
point. but lessons the fuel cost to a
considerable extent.

BUYYOURCARN NOW

: Auto Men Plan Time to Follow
Up President Wilson's SIo-
gan of Business as
Usual" \

When President Wilson wrote a
New York business man, This is not
only not time to allow slowing up
OF business, but is time when every
sensible process OF stimulation should
be used" the automobile and allied
industries decided that he meant
them, too.
They figured it out this way: Here
YOU are, an average reader of auto
mobile news in these columns. You
have the money to buy car, either
a new one from $545 up, or partly
used car.
You really want that car--Want it
bad, for the pleasure and health Il
will bring you and your family, for
its convenience, or possibly for busi-
ness use as we'll
They Have Your Number"
The auto folks know about you-
and know that you are just holding
back without any good, logical rea-
son. For you know as we'll as they
that business is going 10 keep good,
unless everyone does like you and
lust holds back" In which case, of
course, you are operating contrary to
President Wilson's statement TO not
allow "any slowing up of business"
So the auto folks intend to have
you set right on the matter-to show
you where you not only lineage the
pent-up enjoyment in those resting
dollars" Of yours, but also do the ma
tion a good turn by putting them
back to work in general circulation
when you buy that car you want.
How Desire is Created.
Sunday, July /, to Sunday. July 8,
inclusive, has been set aside as Buy
Your Car Now" week The auto
folks will use persuasion of their
own individual varieties in special
advertisements as well, but they urge
that the automobile editor do not fail
them, for it is said that men like

has always been underpriced-never
oxerpriced. The advance is not a
matter of our choice-we have no

Chandler Buyers Will Be
Protected Until JuIy |

r. R. McNemar of the Omaha
Chandler company, i'll regard to the
advance in Chandler prices, expresses
himself as follows:
"We have quite a stock Of cars
which we put in as soon as we
learned of the advance in price. We
can take care OF most Of those who
buy this month, and we want to do
it. The price advance is necessary
owing to the numerous increases in
the raw material market"
Buyers, as we'll as dealers, should
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-24

avail themselves Of the opportunity.
There will be no change in the model,
just an advance in price on all cars
manufactured after July 1.
The following advice has been sent
out by the factory:
"All motor car prices of six months
ago must go up unless the cars were
much overpriced at that time. Get
all the new and used Chandler cars

Six Lads Venture Out

Fred Kasner and Ernest Benson,
