As a result of tests made by
Fisher experts In their vurtous fac

fine veneer wilt be used extensive

bile body units where a combina
tion of strength, comfort and urtis
titc finish Is required.
Airplane Develop Vcnmr
Veneer came Into Its own during
tho wur when a scarcity of hard
wood set airplane builders casting
about for a suitable substitute. It
was found that wood In flvo and
seven piles not only served us well
as hardwood but uctually excelled,
in the matter of strength and resil
iency. Jtecently this type of mat
erial has spread to many new uses
where strength and light weight
aro essential, such us in ulrcruft
and motor boats.

The motor in this new Willys-Knight Six "Seventy"
is the most efficient ever developed in America.
From a bore of 2A6inches and a stroke of 4 inches
it develops greater horsepower per cubic inch of pis
ton displacement, throughout its entire range, than
ar.y other American built power plant.
The principles of high speed engine design arc util
ized in the Knight sleeve valve motor with startling
results. A speed capacity well in excess of 60 miles
an hour, amazing hill climbing ability and startling
acceleration make this car the leader in performance
among all cars in its price or size class.
. Body design ail'.! finish are in full accord with the high aual
ity of the mechanical structure. Low deep seats afford un
usual riding comfort thete is an amazingly satisfactory
amount of room in the body the doors are wide and the -step
from the running board to the interior of the car is low
and convenient.
Try it out you will find in it a greater satisfaction than ;
you have ever before experienced in any motor car.
