Firestone to Pay More g..
Attention to Branches

With its production, problem prac-
tically solved, by immense factory ex-
pansion during the last year, the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber company is
now ready to give more attention to
its branch service. -
This was the statement Of Z. w.
BeSaw, western district manager. for
the big rubber concern, upon his ar
rival at the local Firestone branch
Yesterday. He came to confer with
F. c. Rudisell, branch manager, other
members of the local office and all the
territory and city statesmen
5"ONr aim is 100 per cent service"
said Mr.. BeSaw "And we. have
worked out plans that we believe will
bring this about" ,-. ..~-. -.1..

GREAT PROSPECTS
FOR AUTO EXPORTS
DR.. Pratt Says Foreign Mar.
kets for American Cars is
Rich in Promise.
FAvoRS Low PRICED AUTO

1t is remarkable that the sales
men in charge OF the great auto
mobile industry have not realized
more fully the possibilities OF de-
veloping an export market for Ameri-
can cars" declared DR.. Edward
Ewing Pratt, chief OF the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce. De-
partment OF Commerce. in an address
before the automobile export man.
ayers of the National Automobile
Chamber OF Commerce in New York
There are some very good rea-
sons why automobile manufacturers
should be interested in foreign trade"
DR.. Pratt urged. The first, and per-
haps. the most important reason, is
that the foreign market i'll itself is
a very large market. In the last nor
NAL year before the outbreak OF the
war France exported a little over
S45,000,000 worth OF automobiles:
Germany exported about $20,000,000
worth OF automobiles; Great Britain
about Sl5,000,00O worth, and Italy
about $5.000,000 worth OF automobiles.
In the same year, 1918, VIC exported
$4,000, 900. worth.
Saturated Market.
In the second place automobile
manufacturers should be interested
in building up an export trade because
the consumption of automobiles in
the United States may be reaching
the saturation point in this country.
This market can be and will UNI
doubtedly consume a vastly larger
volume of cars, but if the production
continues to increase at the present
rate, and unless very vital changes
can be effected either,in the consum-
ing public or in the price OF the prod
uct, the increase in the consumption
of automobiles cannot indefinitely 90
on. This point OF saturation may
be year off-may be two years
may be ten years off. But, il such

outside its control. A short crop or
a bumper crop may entirely determine
the output of an industry. This is
to a certain extent true of the auto
mobile industry. If, however, the
manufacturer has business which
covers the entire world a poor crop
or bad business conditions in one
country will be Offset by good con-
ditions and prosperous times in an
other country. # g.
Balance Business.
in the fourth place, well de-
veloped export trade will. TO some
extent, do away with seasons in the
manufacturing end of business. This
is an obvious fact that is we'll known
to manufacturers who have been do
ing business in both the northern and
southern hemispheres,
And, finally, there is in the export
trade a certain advertising value in
this country. There is no question
but that there. is a considerable ad-
vertising value in the mare state
ment that a car has won the respect
Of foreign purchasers .--...

The plan is so highly regarded by
some OF the best and biggest business
men OF this city that one concern has

George Brandeis, in speaking OF
this new movement, said: 81 am sure
il is going to be very fine thing for
Omaha. ~ ..-

 CLAUSE FOOD MEASURE
Senate Takes Up Bill for Debate Sat-

 Will be Defeated.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July g. The final disposition of the prohibi- ton issue was forecasted for tonight when the Food Control bill was talk en up for action in the Senate Satur- day morning. Although sharp de- bate on the question was promised, and the proceedings so far have borne out the predictions, the indi- cations point strongly toward the pas sage of the so-called administration compromise, providing only for the prevention of the use of foodstuffs for the manufacture of alcoholic bev- erages. It confidently believed that the provision for nationwide prohi- bition during the period of the war will be defeated by large majority. but that the provision preventing the use of grains for the manufacture of malt or spurious liquors will be pass ed.
