A TRIUMPH OF
SLEEVE-VALVE
EFFICIENCY
WHEN you sec the new style
Willys-Knight "70-B," you
readily appreciate that its designers
are artists of long experience in
the custom car field. For only
men with such knowledge and
mastery could have made this low
priced Willys-Knight so outstand
ing a style creation. ;
Aside from being the most bcau
; tiful, the new "70-B" is also the
largest and most -powerful Willys
Knight ever offered at so little cost-
Its motor, of course, is the patented
double 6leeve-valve engine the
simplest and most efficient of power
plants, and notable for rnaaprl
stamina, high uniform compression STYLE
and operating economy.

Same way with tires. The man who drives a car hard, fast and.
far over all sorts of roads needs different tires than the man who
drives the same kind of car slower and more carefully. The man
who will soon trade in his car can use tires that it wouldn't lx
economy to buy if he intended to keep it longer.
As tire specialists, it's our job to "take your measure"for tires
4 and "fit you out" with the type and kind that your need3 really
require. We can do this because Goodyear builds a complete line
of different types. We give you honest advice. When a low
price Goodyear will do for you, we recomment it. But if you
. really should have something better or the best we'll tell you. :
