This Is a marked increase over the April, 1928, sales .which, up to the pres. unt year, held the all-time April record. . "v. I. . r, ;;(. A significant fact in the April business, which will have an Influ ence in profits for the nftinth, was the greatly Increased sale of the company's higher priced models. Kale of tho Willys-Knight "7U-B" models and the Whippet Six line constituted 60 per cent of the to tal sales, tho remaining 60 per cent covering the Whippet Four line.
