The Musical Vacation

nograph in camp mean entertainment
for dy-entertainment unlim-
tied and available ION demand"
Camps and summer homes are
dreary places on rainy days without
music. Moonlit evenings never seem
half SO lovely, tate-a-tetes are never
half SO romantic, as when there's
music in the air.
Think of it! No one of us is to-
day too poor to bring the musical
great to our doors. We can even take
them with us on our vacation.
We can rent our favorite kind of
music nlaker-piano, player-piano, or
phonograph-all summer for a trifle,
or we can pay as we play.
Either way, we can literally have
music for a song.

It doesn't matter to the dancers
whether the music is made by

melody is "raggy."

success equally as great was made
handling Dodge cars. In addition to
this the Kopac orgaization has
been connected with the Chandler
and Hudson manufacturers as deal
ers in certain portions of their terri
tority.
During 1918 the tire business Of
Kopac Bros. mounted to 100000
and conservative estimate of dou-
bic that amount is made for 1918.
The firm has a direct connection
with rehners who make motor oil in
accordance with Kopac's formula.
This oil is put out under the trade
name of Copaline.
The establishment of the Omaha
house under the management of Ed
Kopac means a further extension
of their Nebraska interests. The
firm is now incorporated for $780,
600. One of the leading lines is the
Republic Tire and they expect to
do great volume of business both
on pneumatic and solid Republican
tires.

Son shipped their first carload OIL
trucks into Omaha in 1909. there
were only five or six trucks on the
streets of Omaha, and they had been
purchased, in most cases, direct from
the manufacturer by the user, but
no company had ever attempted to
make business of selling motor
trucks in Omaha.
Twelve First Year.
The first year that Andrew Muir
ply & Son were in the motor truck
business they sold and delivered II
trucks which, at that time, was con-
sidered quite a number, but last
year, 1918. they sold and delivered
nearly 800 Republic trucks. They
have been continually adding to
their buildings in order to accom-
modate the growing business and
their stock room and motor truck
parts and tires departments have
grown from value of $1,000 in
1909 to more than 100000 at the
present time.
They realized from the first that
service was the one big essential
in connection with motor truck
sales, and their efforts for the past
10 years have been to perfect this
service and service organization to
as high degree as possible. They
also have enlarged their truck body
building capacity to more than 1000
bodies a year, and it is conceded
fact among automobile men that
they operate the largest and most
up-to-date truck service station west
of Chicago.

The establishment of the Omaha

The history of the Kopac Bros.
in connection with the automobile
industry dates back to 1918, at which
time they took on the agency of the
Ford automobile, erecting a garage
at GARRISON, Neb. In 1912 another
large garage was built at Schuyler,
Neb., and at this time the five broth
ers, Emil, George, Ed, Frank and
Anton, decided to pool their efforts
under the name of Kopac Bros.
In 1913 another large garage was
built at David City and the Clark

to build a garage at Columbus, Neb.

Great GROWTH

IN FIFTY YEARS
Andrew Murphy and Son

Shop; Sold 800 Trucks
Last Year.

In the fall of 1862 which is near
ly 50 years ago, Andrew Murphy,
located in Omaha and started a
small horseshoeing shop, having in
his employ at that time one man.
This shop was started on the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Howard
streets, only one block. from where
the large establishment of Andrew
Murphy & Son, as the company is
now known.
After operating an exclusive
horseshoeing shop for a number of
years, Andrew Murphy decided to
enter into the repairing of wagons
as well, and, therefore, built All ad-
dition to this small shop and start
ed into repairing wagons and bug
gies and continued in this business.
adding to his place until about IS
years ago, when his son. Bert Muir
ply, was admitted into the business
partner with his father. Bert
Murphy felt that the future of the
wagon manufacturing business was
much larger than the horseshoeing
business, and Immediately began de-

ing that the great desideratum is
now production and the world is
preparing for it,
The brother of production is dis

Chandler Six Leader

OF Card-Adams Co.

The new Chandler Six seven-pas-
senger touring car, with the new
series four passenger roadster, con
stitute the leaders in the spring of
fering of the Card-Adams Motor
company.
The Chandler always has had
splendid bodies, but the new touring
car even surpasses its immediate
forerunner in beauty of line, in big.
ness, in the comfort of its cushion
ing, in the nicely of its custom-like
workmanship and its lustrous finish.
The new Chandler touring car is

ator, its broad cowl and its wide and
deep doors give it distinctive APP
pearance. The back curtain window
is beveled plate glass. The clear
vision side curtains fit snugly and
open with the doors. There are de-
tachable rear quarter-bow curtains.
There are outside door handles.

opertion has a string attached to it;
it must be economical without sac
rifice of service and utility. Thus
far he will go in economy and no
more.
Next after economy in operation
comes design from the standpoint
of care and the ability to get at
parts that need attention.
Finally, the average buyer wants
comfort and convenience. Pis car

sary to perfect motoring pleasure,
both as to body room, upholstery
and design and also in the various
labor and trouble saving devices.
Fortunately for both buyer and
salesman there are motor cars which
meet all these requirements. More
over, they meet one other-that of
initial price. They offer the aver
age owner prospect all that he de-
mands and more, at price Which is
we'll within his ability to buy and
which is truly low in comparison

to appear in the field which then
started to diminish the wagon bust

Trucks Appear.
Bert Murphy decided that it was
necessary to investigate the motor
truck business thoroughly at once
and if the future in it appeared
promising that the thing then to do
was for Andrew Murphy & Son to
launch into the motor truck bust
ness as quickly as possible. So in
the fall of 1908 he made trip
through the east and spent con-
siderable time investigating the
motor truck industry and the var
ious makes of trucks, which at that
time were very few. On this trip
he convinced himself that there was
large future to the motor truck
industry and that now was the time
to start, so he Immediately wrote
contract with two of the then
largest truck manufacturers and in
January, 1909, unloaded the first
carload of motor trucks ever shipped
into Omaha and at the same time

ported the matter to the police, who
brought her to the station. But she
was in a dazed condition and seemed
unable to talk. A doctors examination
revealed nothing wrong with her ex-
cept the possibility that she had been
