Motorcycles Being Put
to More Extended Use

Victor H. Roos, the local Harley
Davidson distributor, reports that
the present-day business man is
waking up to the fact that Uncle
Sam had an eye for economy when
he purchased some 10000 motor
cycles to use in place Of light auto
mobiles in the recent war. The
business man is also learning that a
motorcycle is capable of carrying a
load of 400 pounds and bulk to me
extent of 80 cubic feet, and at
maintenance cost of about one
fourth of what it costs to operate
a lightweight auto. 3D.
Many Harley-Davidsons are be

Removing Wheel Hub Washer

The job of removing the wheel hub
washer of the front wheel is often
an almost impossible job, but it can
be made easy by the use Of 4 simple
tool that can be made by any car
owner. Take a pair of round-jawed
pliers five or six inches long. File a
notch on the Inside of each jaw near
the end and then reduce the diameter
of the jaws until they will just slip
into the holes in the ends of the split
washer. With this weapon it is easy
to remove. the washer. Simply hook
the ends of the pliers into the holes,
close the pliers to contract the
washer so that it may be drawn out
of the groove, when it is easy to slip
it out by running a serewdriyer
point around the edge.

Proper fabrication.

The term proper fabrication has
no very exact meaning for the aver
age car owner and yet it can be de-
fined exactly. 1t means the quality
of oil needed by the individual part,
supplied in the proper quantity, nei-
ther too little nor too much, and
changed with sufficient frequency to
keep it in condition to function
properly. This latter condition car
ries with it the implication that the
crankcase or other part shall be
flushed out with kerosene before
new oil is put in. From all this it
will be seen that the car owner must
devote some study to the particular
needs Of his particular vehicle in Or
der to master the fabrication needs
of the car.

Cadillac Men Hold . p
Sales Meeting and
Dinner at Fontenelle

]. H. Hansen of the local Cadil-
lac company bearing his name
held banquet and sales meeting
at the Fontenelle hotel during the
week for his sales force, at which
time Max d.. Cubbage was an
nounced sales manager and Thomas
H. Hunt was placed in charge OF
wholesale business. Among those
present were: ]. w. Van Camp, l..
G. Hunt, Louis Moser, H. l.. Viii
ans, J. II. Hansen, T. H. Hunt, M.
D. Cubbage and Phillip E. Koran.
Mr.. Koran, who is a member OF
the law firm of Kennedy-Holland-
DeLacy & Koran, gave a short talk
on, New Fields for Sales" He
illustrated to those present the
enormous increase in different bust
nesseJ and different firms in Omaha,
and how il is easier for many men
to purchase high-priced motor cars
now than it was even a year ago.
This insight into new fields for
sales was much appreciated by all
present.
Mr.. Hansen outlined. to the or
ganization the need of more per-
sonal integrity--the absolute neces-
sity of honest dealing, particularly
in statements and promises made.
He complimented the sales or
ganization for the wonderful work
done in the past, but urged every
salesman to be even more particular
in the future than in the past in
leaving with customers promises and
guarantees which would not or could
not be fulfilled. He impressed the
statesmen seriously with their ebliga-
tien toward their firm and toward
their customers. He pleased every
person present with the statement
that Cadillac cars are now forth
coming at greater rates than dur
ing the last few months-that GUS
toners who have patiently waited
for their cars are now getting them,
and that goodly number OF Cadil-
lag cars. would be received each
month for the balance of this year.

A cowl squeak may often, be

be carried out at once, because if the

The declines in cotton prices have
caused merchants to he unusually eau

retail stocks in that line are depleted
and an impetus in buying is expected.
Hardware dealers report a larger
volume OF business for January than
was anticipated, and. while prices are
somewhat unstable. do not look for any
business with dealers in electrical
supplies is DUH at present. largely on
account of the electricians strike and

The season has opened very ausp;-
