"Sedans Over Sold" la the 8. O.
S. signal flashed from Willys-Over

Overland atandard sedan on which
lha nnnmmnttil Lit miWth
has heapetT such a burst ot public
approval that even the herculean
efforts of the factory to keep up
production have failed to anywhere
near satisfy fh demand.
Dally orders are anywhere from
10B per cent to 175 per cent over
the maximum production capacity
and this applies not alone to the
sedan model, but to all other
models in both the Overland and
Willys-Knight lines.
It la a condition which Is being
augmented by the . sales drives
which are now being conducted by
the branch and dealer organlia
tlona all over the country In re-
auonae to the requeat from John N.
Willys to go out and prove that sea
sonal buying no longer plays any
part In tbe business of selling auto
mobiles.
The oversold condition applies to
every part of the country and the
percentages of increase along the
Pacific coast are among tne nign
est In the entire country.
In the Willys-Knight line, the
recent price reductions and the
equipping of all models with four-
wheel brakes have played a Dig
part In the Overland line the
unusually low prices and the Im
provements in upholstery and fin
ish have played a big part

Overland in the field of low-priced
cars haa. been one of the sensa

CHEVROLET SETS
NEW SEPT. RECORD
DETROIT. Michigan, Oct. 20,
The Chevrolet Motor Company
built 6,865 motor cars and trucks
during September, a new record
for that month and only 378
fewer than tbe highest produc
tion month in the history of the
company.
Ordinarily sales and . conse
quently production are expected
to decrease during tne latter pari
of tbe year. However, the de
mand for Chevrolet cara which
haa held production at high fig
ures throughout the year contin
ues undiminished. As a result
the schedule for the present
month contemplates the building
of more than 64.500 cars and
trucks.
August deliveries to dealers in
the United States alone were 41.
500, an August record. This fig
ure Is exclusive, of the thousands
of cars shipped to foreign coun
tries. During September delive
ries in the United States Increas
ed to approximately! 44,600, plac
ing September second only to
April and May ot this year and
exceeding the domestic deliveries
for J use, July and August re
spectively, I am proud oi tnese recorav
for two reasons," said Charles r.
Barth, Vice-President In charge
of production.
"My first reason la mat since
March the' Chevrolet production
haa remained' conslatently at 50.-
000 or more without tne usual
seasonable, fluctuations. This in
dicates that the automobile in
dustry Is becoming stabilized up
on a regular year-round demand.
"My second resson 14 tnat tne
September production proved con
clusively the loyalty and capacity
of the Chevrolet manufacturing
organization. Unceasing demand
fori care from tne unevroiei an
lers made It necessary early In
September to Increase the Sep
tember production schedule near
ly 7,000, the new schedule calling
for 63,165 cars and trucks. A
production increase of that mag
nitude la a severe test of any
manufacturing organisation. The
sales department would have de
sired us to Increase the produc
tion schedule even more sharply.
The results exceeded our highest
expectations. The loyal workers
in the Chevrolet factorlea, most
of them veterans who are proud
of their Job and proud of their
product, responded to a man.
They came through with the rec
ord September production of 65,
865, which was 2.700, more cars
than we had asked for even under
the revised schedule."

Aa a result, the University of

In offering to the university this

"The Studebaker corporation of
America, realising the pressing
character of the street traffic
problem and the need tor collection
of scientific information on the
subject, desires to offer funds for
the creation of a research bureau
and graduate fellowships In the
University of California."
Mr. Erskine commented on the
offer:
"Much of the failure of American
cities to deal effectively with
street traffic may be attributed to
lack of technical Information. Traf
fic is an engineering problem. It
can be controlled satisfactorily
only by sound engineering meth

The Indians were greatly alarm

threatened to remove an mats pens
