Novel Profit Sharing
Scheme Announced
by Columbia Motors

J. c. Bayerline, president of the
Columbia Motors company, manu-
facturers of the Columbia Six, at
a banquet given last week to the de-
partment heads of the company,
announced that a novel profit-shar-
ing plan would be Immediately put
into effect. A liberal portion of the
treasury stock will be held in reserve
and given outright to employees
whose length of service and quality
of service warrants it. 49,.
There are no strings to this stock
whatever. 1t is straight out and
out gift, making these employees real
stockholders of the company.
Many of the employees who have
been in the service of the company
for some time received their share
of stock Immediately.
Mr.. Bayerline stated that the COM
pany had adopted this plan rather
than the bonus system which is in
vogue, because they wanted their
trusted employees to feel that they
are real partners in the business.
"The Columbia Motors company
has grown" he said, from one of
the smallest producers four years
ago to a position today where it is
counted among the leading pro-
ducers of motor cars in this country.
,"Our employees are entitled to a
big share of the credit for this
achievement.
"We are going to give this credit
a cash value instead of merely max
ing it matter of empty words and
phrases"

Motor Trucks Do Much
to Speed Up Building;
Big Increase to Come

IF there is one line of business
to which the motor truck has be-
come essential in speeding up work,
it is the building industry" says Carl
Changstrom of the Standard Motor
Car company.
And from the way motor trucks
have been used by the building con-
tractors in the past, it is apparent
that with the renewed building con-
struction which the country's read
justment period has opened up, this
industry will require more than its
share of the motor trucks that can
be manufactured for some time to
come.
Il understand from reliable
sources that 68 per cent of all ma
terial shipped on the railroads is
building and construction material.
Also that AZ per cent Of all men

STEVENS AGENCY
Besides Marketing Popular
Car, Omaha Firm Will Also
Sell AII-AmeriCan Motor
Truck.

Announcement was made this
week that the Mid-City Motor and
Supply company has arranged for
i the distribution of the Stevens Six
and the All-American truck.
The Stevens manufacturers built
up considerable reputation just
previous to the war through the
marketing of the Stevens Salient
Six.
The motor of the Stevens is a
perfected overhead valve type
which embodies the long>experience
of the Moline Plow company in me-
chanical construction work and de-
velops 81 horse power. The Stevens
/ is manufactured in six body styles;
six-passenger touring car, a four
passenger touring, a four-passenger
victoria, hve-passenger touring
car, three-passenger roadster and
touring sedan.
Lowest Priced Truck Known.
The All-American truck is the
| conception of group of men with
wide experience in truck build
ing. Among those responsible for
All-American, truck design, are
| men from the Kelly-Springfeld fac
tory, the Scripps- Booth factory, and
the Graham-Bernstein factory. 1t is
the lowest priced one-ton truck on
| the market and according to its
manufacturers, is the most consist
ent performer. -...
The personnel OF the Mid City
Motor and Supply company has been
unchanged and the organization re-
mains intact for the promotion of
the new lines. The territory control
led embraces Nebraska and western
Iowa.
The Mid-City Motor and Supply

expensive custom-built automobiles.
This design has created much ia
vorable comment and the Omaha
representatives anticipate an enor-
nous demand for this new model.
The price of this model will be
81 $4,000 factory. The mechanical
construction is changed to some ex-
tent. No radical changes are made,
however, in the specifications. A

in support of the Gishes, Lillian
